Adjusting gain and camera settings in Bonsai

[Courtney Collins-Pisano]

Hello

I am setting up a simple video acquisition workflow in bonsai, but I am having some trouble getting the video output to look the way I want. The experimental set up uses only IR light and no visible light, so my camera is outputting an all black screen video. I was able to fix this problem with my previous camera running on different software by adjusting the gain and other settings. Is it possible to adjust gain or exposure in Bonsai? I am using a Microsoft LifeCam camera. Has anyone been able to specify camera settings in their workflow?

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

I am not familiar with that camera, but it looks like a regular usb camera. You can usually change its settings under "captureProperties" (click on the small "..."  icon)  in the CameraCapture node (check attached image).

Hope it helps,
