Frequently Asked Questions - AK-HC1500G PANASONIC

What is the resolution of the Panasonic AK-HC1500G?

The camera provides 1920 x 1080 effective pixels, delivering Full HD resolution.

Does the AK-HC1500G support night vision?

It does not have built-in infrared illuminators, but it performs well in low light with a minimum illumination of 0.5 lux. For complete darkness, an external IR light is required.

Can I use this camera outdoors?

The camera itself is not weatherproof. It must be installed in a weatherproof housing for outdoor use to protect against rain and dust.

How do I connect the camera to a monitor or recorder?

Use the HD-SDI or SD-SDI outputs for high-definition video. For analog, use the composite output.

Can the AK-HC1500G be controlled remotely?

Yes, it supports remote control via RS-422 or IP (with optional module). It is compatible with Panasonic PTZ controllers and RC remote control units.

What type of lens does this camera accept?

It uses a bayonet mount for 2/3-inch lenses. Many professional broadcast lenses from manufacturers like Fujinon and Canon are compatible.

Does the camera record video internally?

No internal recording. The camera outputs uncompressed video via SDI, so an external recorder or NVR is needed to capture footage.

Is the AK-HC1500G compatible with Panasonic PTZ systems?

Yes, it works with Panasonic PTZ control units and can be integrated into multicamera setups using genlock and time code.

How should I clean the camera?

Use a soft, dry lens cloth to clean the front element. Never use liquids. For the body, wipe with a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid touching the sensor.

What is the warranty period for this camera?

Panasonic typically offers a 2-year limited warranty for professional cameras. Check your local dealer for specific terms.

■How to set the lens

- Standard 2/3" bayonet type (B4 mount) lens of any makers can be used*.

① Turn the lens fixing ring knob counterclockwise to remove the lens mount cap.
② Set the lens in place, and turn the lens fixing ring knob clockwise to precisely fix the lens.
③ Connect the iris control cable to the IRIS connector.
④ Connect the zoom/focus control cable to the ZOOM/FOCUS connector.

* Note that there are some lenses uncontrollable with respect to zoom, focus function.

■How to install on the camera housing, pan/tilt head, tripod, etc.

① Precisely set the camera on the camera housing, pan/tilt head, tripod, etc. by using the camera set-screw hole (1/4-20UNC, 3/8-16UNC).
② When mounting the camera on a pan/tilt head, be sure to use proper tools and make sure that there is no fear of falling off.

■Configuration example 1: Connection of camera controller

- Use multi cable supplied with AK-HRP150G for the connection of camera controller AK-HRP150G and this unit.

① Before connecting the cables, be sure to set the power switch of AC adapter to OFF.
② Connect the multi cable to the interface connector of the camera, and the opposite side to camera controller.
③ Set the AC adapter power switch to ON, then the camera can be controlled.
④ After shooting, set the AC adapter power switch to OFF.

■Configuration example 2: High-Speed P/T system

1 Turn on the power of each equipment.

2 Properly adjust the light for the object.

3 Adjust the flange back of the lens, the iris and the focus.

- Flange back must be adjusted when the camera is used for the first time or after replacement of the lens.

4 Adjust the white balance.

• This adjustment is needed when the camera is used for the first time or after leaving unused for a long time.
• The adjustment is necessary when the lighting condition or brightness is changed.
• After adjusting the white balance once, re-adjustment is not needed under the same condition.

5 Adjust the black balance.

• This adjustment is needed when the camera is used for the first time or after leaving unused for a long time.
• The adjustment is necessary when the ambient temperature is greatly changed or at the change of season.
• After adjusting the black balance once, re-adjustment is not needed under the same condition.

6 Start shooting.

(After shooting, be sure to turn off the power of each equipment connected.)

■Flange back adjustment (for zoom lens)

The adjustment is to adjust the focus in all the range from the maximum zoom to the widest angle of the zoom lens.

① Shoot a dark object to open the iris.
② Adjust the distance from the object to 6.6 ft. (2 m) at least, then loosen the flange back fixing knob of the lens.
③ Set the lens to the maximum zoom and adjust the focus by turning the focus ring.
④ Set the lens to the widest angle and adjust the focus by turning the flange back adjust ring.
⑤ Repeat adjusting the focus ring and flange back adjust ring until the focus is adjusted within the zooming range.
⑥ After finishing the adjustment, tighten the flange back fixing knob.

Flange back adjust ring

■Lens iris gain volume adjustment

Iris gain adjust hole (G or S) is provided at front of the lens housing. Adjust the iris according to the following procedure by using a screwdriver.

① Set the iris select switch of the lens to A "AUTO" side.
② Turn the iris gain adjust volume to maximize the gain in such extent that no hunting takes place.

* When CAM is selected as the IRIS MODE setting on the camera menu, IRIS gain on the menu can be used to make adjustments.

■White balance adjustment

Adjust the white balance after shooting a white object by at least 50% of the screen.

NOTE: If the white signal level is over 100% or less than 50%, the white balance may not be normally adjusted.

■Color temperature and white balance adjustment (reference)

When carbon is burnt, it develops various colors of light depending on the temperature. Natural light can be specified by color temperature reflecting to the color developed when carbon is burnt.

The light of 3,200K (K=Kelvin, -273°C equals to absolute zero temperature 0K) represents the same value (color) as what develops when carbon is burnt at 3,200K (2,927°C).

The relationship between the color temperature of the light source and weather condition is indicated in the right figure. Let's study the difference of shooting an indoor object from shooting one outdoors. Studios are usually lighted with incandescent lamps and the color temperature of a white object in a studio is around 3,000K. The color temperature of a white object outdoors is around 6,500K. The former may look a little yellowish while the latter appears somewhat bluish when they are shot by a camera.

However, the human eye does not recognize color differences among these objects even under different ambient lighting conditions, because of their adaptability to light.

The video camera reproduces color differences with high fidelity and the color of an object somewhat different from what appears to the human eye.

Therefore, there is a need to adjust the white balance in order to correct differences between color temperatures.

NOTE

- Color temperature outdoors may vary depending on weather conditions.

■Black balance adjustment

- Adjust it with the lens closed.

When the motor drive lens is controlled from the camera, adjusting the black balance causes the lens to be automatically closed.

■Gen-lock adjustment

When multiple cameras are used or the camera is combined with other equipment, it is necessary to adjust the phase for phase matching by external synchronization.

• Horizontal phase adjustment

Observe the waveforms of externally synchronizing signal input (black burst signal) and video signal output by a two-phenomenon oscilloscope, and make the horizontal phase according to the camera menu.

Adjustment with GEN-LOCK of SETTING menu

When HD synchronizing signals are input:

① Roughly adjust the synchronizing signal input and video signal output phases by H PHASE-COARSE.
② Finely adjust the synchronizing signal input and video signal output phases by H PHASE-FINE.

-** GEN-LOCK **
GEN-LOCK INPUT	:BNC
H PHASE-COARSE	:+00
H PHASE-FINE	:+000

When SD synchronizing signals are input:

① Roughly adjust the synchronizing signal input and video signal output phases by SD-HD PHASE-COARSE.
② Finely adjust the synchronizing signal input and video signal output phases by SD-HD PHASE-FINE. If the adjustment performed using SD-HD PHASE is not satisfactory, use H PHASE-COARSE/FINE.

-** GEN-LOCK **

■How to display the menus

Two methods are used to display the menus.

- Using AK-HC1500G multi purpose camera to display the menus:

① Hold down the MENU switch on the rear panel of the main unit for at least 3 seconds to display the TOP menu.
② Use the UP/DOWN switch to move the cursor to the target item, and press the ENTER switch to move to a menu at a lower hierarchical level.

• Using AK-HRP150G camera controller
