AI VIDEO BLC OFF LOW-AGC LL AES D.D. ON HIGH-AGC INT CAUTION HUA OF ELECTRIC SMOCA, DO NOT OPEN VIDEO OUT POWER ALC L H V-PHASE GND - + DC 12V - - AC 24V Shaded box indicates default switch setting

AI/AES Mode Selector

The Auto Electronic Shutter (AES) feature compensates for excessive light levels by automatically adjusting the shutter speed of the camera. Select AES for manual iris lenses. The default setting is AI.

Auto Iris Lens Type Selector (Video Drive or Direct DC Drive)

Automatic iris lenses (Direct Drive (DC) or Video Drive types) are connected to the camera via a 4-pin square socket located at the side of the camera. Select the AI switch on the rear of the camera for all automatic iris lenses. Then set the Auto Iris Lens Type Selector to VIDEO (Video drive) or DD (Direct DC drive), depending on your particular lens. The default setting is DD.

Backlight Compensation

If a strong background light such as a window exists in a scene, the camera tries to compensate by reducing the overall exposure. This means that areas surrounding the window become too dark. Set the backlight compensation (BLC) to ON to eliminate the effect of an area of strong background lighting in a scene. The default setting is BLC OFF.

BLC will only function with a manual iris lens when the Electronic Iris feature is switched on. For Direct Drive and Video drive lenses, BLC will function even though the Electronic Iris feature is switched off.

AGC Low / AGC High

The Automatic Gain Control feature can improve picture quality when the level of scene illumination is low. For most applications, select AGC HIGH (the default setting).

Synchronization Selection (LL/INT)

This switch is used to select the synchronisation mode of the camera. When the camera is connected to an AC supply (either Mains or 24V Low Voltage), the Line-lock (LL) mode can be used to lock the camera's frame rate to the mains frequency so that each camera in the system is triggered at the same point on the supply's AC-cycle. See also Line Lock Phase Adjustment Potentiometer. The default setting is LL.

WARNING! The LL/INT switch must be set to INT when operating from 12 VDC.

Line Lock Phase Adjustment Potentiometer

When the camera is in Line-lock mode it is possible to adjust the point on the AC cycle at which the camera triggers. This facility is provided so that cameras that are connected to different mains phases may still be synchronized.

The V-Phase adjustment potentiometer allows the line lock phase trigger point to be adjusted by: 1:120°. Rotating the potentiometer clockwise advances the trigger point and turning it counterclockwise retards the trigger point. The factory default setting is the zero crossing point. If all cameras in a system are on the same mains phase then no line lock phase adjustment should be made. See also Synchronization Selection (LL/INT).

DD Lens Level Adjustment Potentiometer

The Direct Drive lens level is controlled by this potentiometer. The video output signal is converted into DC voltage by circuitry within the camera. The potentiometer sets a reference voltage against which this derived DC voltage is compared. If the DC voltage is less than the reference level, the lens iris opening is increased. If the DC voltage is greater than the reference level, the lens iris opening is decreased. This control loop attempts to continually match the DC voltage derived from the video signal to the reference voltage set by the potentiometer. This feature allows the installer to set the required video output amplitude (for example, 1 Vp-p) that the lens should strive to maintain.

Power LED

In normal operation, the LED on the rear panel of the camera is illuminated when power is connected to the camera.

Composite Video Output BNC Connector

To obtain a 1.0 Vp-p composite video signal, connect a video coaxial cable terminated with a 75 Ohm BNC connector to the BNC socket marked VIDEO OUT.

Power Supply

The voltage required to operate the camera is clearly marked on the rear panel of the camera. Connections are indicated above the terminals on the rear panel of the camera.

Lens Selection

Suitable lens types are C- and CS-mount in fixed iris, manual iris, video auto iris, or direct drive auto iris versions. Cameras are factory set for CS-mount lenses.

If using a C-mount lens, rotate the back focus adjustment mechanism fully clockwise (when viewed from the front of the camera) before fitting the lens. See “Back Focus Adjustment” on page 6.

Back Focus Adjustment

The back focus adjustment is accessible at the front end of the camera housing to adjust the back focal length or picture focus.

The range of adjustment allows both C- and CS- mount lenses to be used without the need for a spacer ring.

To use the back focus mechanism:

1. Unlock the back focus mechanism by loosening the locking screw (see Figure 2).

Figure 2 Back Focus Adjustment Lock
