Notes:

• Current consumption must be 50 mA or less.
• Avoid an incorrect connection or short-circuit.

USING CAMERA CONTROL IN FIXED POSITION

The camera control unit can be directly mounted by using M3 screws if the four rubber feet are removed on bottom of the control unit. When mounting directly as described above, do not use longer screws. If the screws enter by more than 5 mm from the control unit mounting surface, they will cause a short-circuit inside the control unit. For details of screw hole locations, refer to “PROFILE” of the camera control unit.

HOW TO USE THE CAMERA

Turn on the POWER switch on the camera control unit and adjust the lens iris and focus while observing a picture on the monitor screen. To obtain the best picture quality, perform various settings.

AGC (Automatic Gain Control)

AGC functions "OFF", "ON" or "UP" can be selected on the screen menu. Generally, the camera is used with the AGC set to OFF, but when increased camera sensitivity is required, it is set to ON. When more sensitivity is required, "UP" is selected. With the AGC ON, the camera sensitivity approximately doubles, and with the UP selected the sensitivity approximately doubles again, but noise will also increase. We recommend you increase intensity of the lighting to obtain good pictures.

The AGC measurement area is the same as that used for "AREA". Refer to "AREA (Measurement Area)".

White Balance

A white balance adjustment is necessary to obtain pictures with correct color tone. This camera allows you to select the white balance adjustment of "AUTO", "SET", and "MANU". With the AUTO mode selected, the camera adjusts the white balance automatically. Most of shooting will be made in the AUTO mode. The color temperature applicable to this camera is about 2500 to 7000K.

	AUTO	SET	MANU
Outline	Camera automatically measures object color temperature and adjusts the white balance.	Adjust white balance by pressing “UP” button on the camera control unit while shooting a white object.	Adjust R (red) and B (blue) levels on the control unit while shooting a white object.
Features	Automatically traces variations of color temperature and adjusts the white balance.	Measurement accuracy is higher than AUTO mode. This mode is effective when shooting under less variations of color temperature.	Measurement accuracy is higher than SET mode. This mode is effective for users desiring specific color temperature, also effective when shooting under least variations of color temperature.
Notes	Under poor illumination, white balance may not be corrected.		Adjustment will be made by viewing monitor or vector scope.

(1) White balance adjustment in modes other than AUTO

(1.1) White balance adjustment in SET mode

① Set the WB switch to "SET" position.
② Shoot a white object to fill entire screen and press the UP button (▲) for about 2 sec.
③ When the white balance adjustment completes, the letters "WB SET" blinking at the upper right of the screen changes to "WB OK" and then turns off. If the "WB NG" is displayed, it shows the white balance is out of the adjustment range. This is caused in the white object is not shot or the video level is set too high or too low even if the white object is shot. Shoot the white object or set the video level correctly.

Note:

- With the screen menu displayed, the UP button is used for moving the cursor or modifying the data. To activate the SET mode by pressing the UP button, turn off the screen menu.

(1.2) White balance adjustment in MANU mode

① Set the WB switch to "MANU" position.
② Shoot the white object and adjust the white balance by adjusting the white balance adjust controls "R" and "B" with the screwdriver while observing the monitor or vector scope.

FUNC (Function Lock)

The FUNC LOCK switch protects settings even if a switch is accidentally pressed after setting. When the FUNC LOCK switch is ON, only the following functions are available.

POWER switch (ON/OFF)

FILE (A/B) in menu

Settings will not be changed even if the other switches are operated. In the menu screen, all except FILE and END are displayed in black letters (white when the FUNC LOCK switch is OFF) and "FUNCTION LOCK ACTIVE" blinks to indicate that the FUNC LOCK switch is ON.

EXTERNAL SYNC

When using the camera with an external sync, connect a composite video signal (C-VIDEO) to the EXT SYNC terminal on back of the camera control unit. When the camera accepts external sync, it is automatically switched from the internal sync to the external sync.

(1) External sync signal input conditions

C-VIDEO : SYNC section 0.3 ± 0.1V

(75Ω unbalanced)

BURST section

0.3 ± 0.1V

(2) External sync frequency range

Within ±50 ppm referred to NTSC standard frequency

(H frequency 15733.5 Hz to 15735.0 Hz)

(3) Using the camera with external sync signal

When using more than two cameras in external synchronization, this adjustment allows matching of picture tone between two cameras. Adjust H (horizontal) phase and SC (sub carrier) phase if necessary.

(3.1) H (horizontal) phase adjustment

Observe the external sync signal and video output signal on the camera with a dual trace oscilloscope, and adjust "H-PHS" of "SYNC" on the screen menu so that the H phase matches.

Match the phase.

External sync. signal

Camera video output

(3.2) SC (sub carrier) phase adjustment

Perform a coarse adjustment for 0, 90, 180, or

270 degrees in "SC-PHS" on the screen menu and then perform a fine adjustment with "SC-FINE". Using a vector scope for the phase adjustment will provide more accuracy.

CAUTIONS ON USE AND INSTALLATION

- Carefully handle the units.

Do not drop, or give a strong shock or vibration to the camera. This may cause problems. Treat the camera cables carefully to prevent cable problems, such as cable breakdown and loosened connections.

- Do not shoot intense light.

If there is an intense light at a location on the screen such as a spot light, a blooming and smearing may occur. When intense light enters, vertical stripes may appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. Ghosts may occur when there is an intense light near the object. In this case, change the shooting angle.

• Install the camera in a location free from noise.

If the camera or the cables are located near power utility lines or a TV, etc. undesirable noise may appear on the screen. In such a case, try to change the location of the camera or the cable wiring.

- Moire

When thin stripe patterns are shot, stripe patterns that are not actually there (moire) may appear as interference stripes. This is not a malfunction.

- Operating ambient temperature and humidity.

Do not use the camera in places where temperature and humidity exceed the specifications. Picture quality will lower and internal parts may be damaged.

Be particularly careful when using in places exposed to direct sunlight. When shooting in hot places, depending on the conditions of the object and the camera (for example when the gain is increased), noise in the form of vertical strips or white dots may occur. This is not a malfunction.

- Handling of the protection cap.

Keep the protection cap away from children. Children may put them into mouth or swallow them accidentally. The protection cap protects the image sensing plane when the lens is removed from the camera, do not throw away.

- When not using the camera for a long-time.

Stop supplying power.

- When cleaning the camera
