Glossary AGC (Automatic Gain Control) Video Amplifier in a camera that boosts the amount of video gain (including the noise) to maintain a 1V p-p (1-volt peak-to-peak) video signal output. It becomes operational when the light level is low. The circuit is designed to compensate for fluctuations in scene illumination which would cause the video output level to be too low.
