VARIOUS FUNCTIONS

○Lighting

Lighting unit for viewing materials such as printed matter, 3-D object, and Baselight for viewing slide and negative film (transparencies) are built-in.

With the lighting button pressed, the indicator flashes, and after a few seconds, the fluorescent lamps light on.

To turn the lamps off, press the lighting button again.

Select the [UPPER] or [BASE] mode.

(It is not possible to simultaneously use both the upper lighting unit and the base-light.)

It is advisable to use the upper lighting unit to obtain the clear image with better color rendering especially when the stage is not sufficiently illuminated by room lights or 3-D object is to be viewed.

○Input selection

Images from two separate AV sources, such as a VCR and video camera, are selected to be projected on the monitor by pressing the input selection button.

○Nega/posi conversion

This function is used to view negative film as positive images.

Press the nega/posi conversion button, and the indicator shows [N] (negative).

Press the button again changes to normal [P] (positive) mode.

○Color/B&W selection

It is advisable to use this mode for viewing the B&W materials as documents, and clear image with no color blur is obtained.

For normal use, set to [C] (color) mode.

Pressing the color/B&W button changes to [B&W] or [C] mode in succession.

○Zoom

When the zoom button is pressed to select [TELE], the image gets larger. When the zoom button is pressed to select [WIDE], the image gets smaller.

○Focus

(1) Auto Focus

- When the auto focus button is pressed, the indication lamp is turned ON and OFF during focusing.

● The Visual Presenter features a one-step auto focus function. Once focusing is completed, the auto focus function is released. Even if the object is moved, the focus remains unchanged.

● To focus the image with auto focus setting, set the zoom button at extreme telephoto position so that more accurate image can be obtained.

- It is difficult to automatically focus on an object under the following conditions. Select the focus mode to manual focus on objects in these conditions.

* Object bearing little contrast.

* Object with a fine repeated pattern such as lateral stripes, or a checkered pattern.

* Bright object or one with reflecting strong light.

* The background of the object is bright, or the contrast is too clear.

* Picture plane itself is dark.

* The positions of the objects are far and near.

* Moving object.

- When using the manual focus during auto focusing, the auto focus function is cancelled.

(2) Powered Manual Focus

Press the focus button [N] or [F] for manual focusing.

This function is used to view 3-D object of which any part can be focused.

Note: The coverage area of manual focusing is up to approx. 10cm above from the stage surface.

○White balance

(1) Full-Auto mode:

With the white balance switch at [AUTO] position, the camera automatically adjusts to the color temperature and adjusts the white balance. The camera will then automatically follow the change in color temperature of the object.

Set [AUTO] position for normal use.

(2) Manual mode

With the white balance switch at [MANU.] position, turn the R (red) and B (blue) knobs while observing the white object on the monitor screen.

Electronic shutter speed

Under the 50Hz electrical condition area, the flickering may appear under the fluorescent lamps, etc. with the EV-400AF set at "1/60" mode.

In this case, select "1/100" sec. shutter speed.

Leave the 1/60 sec. mode (original setting) for the use under the 60Hz area.

○Iris

Exposure is automatically compensated when the iris control knob is kept at middle position.

Exposure can be manually adjusted by turning the iris control knob.

○Microphone

When using the video monitor with the audio-in terminal, connecting the microphone into the mic. jack allows the simultaneous output of the audio signal from the monitor speaker and video signals.

Adjust the mic. volume to obtain the optimum volume of the microphone.

The audio signal of the microphone is output from the audio out terminal regardless of position of the input selector.

○LCD monitor shoe

The optional LCD monitor shoe, type MS-100 is available for attaching an LCD monitor (commercially-available) with a tripod screw hole onto the EV-400AF.

(Refer to the operation manual for the LCD monitor for connection.)

EXTERNAL SYNC. ADJUSTMENT

This adjustment is necessary when images from several AV sources, such as the Visual Presenter, video cameras, and other equipment (including ELMO film-to-video converter TRV-35H, TRV-16G), are composed to be projected on a single monitor.

Horizontal sync. position adjustment and sub carrier position adjustment are required to match the color phases of each image.

A video mixer is necessary to reproduce a composite image. The connection method differs depending on the type of the video mixer. Refer to the instruction manual of the respective video mixer for additional information on connection method.

● Horizontal sync. phase adjustment

This adjustment is used to adjust the horizontal phase when the Visual Presenter is subject to ext. sync. (GEN-LOCK). When adjusting the phase, use an adequate (−) screwdriver or the like.

● Sub-Carrier Phase Adjustment

This adjustment is carried out if the color phase of the image output signal of the Visual Presenter is not appropriately adjusted to the base signal when overlapping images.

Set the color phase control switch for adjusting the color phase of the image to color phase of the base signal to bring each color phase as close as possible.

Fine adjusting by color phase volume is further carried out.

When adjusting the sub-carrier phase, use an adequate (−) screwdriver or the like.

TROUBLE SHOOTING HINTS

Symptom	Possible Cause/Countermeasure
No Images on TV monitor	·Cable is not properly connected to the video-in terminal of monitor.·The power cord is disconnected from the wall AC outlet.·The plug is disconnected from the outlet.·Power is not turned on.·Zoom is set at Tele to display only white part of the material.
Out of focus	·The object is too close to the lens. Check if it does not stand higher than 10cm from the stage surface.·The 3-D object is not focused unless the sub column (camera head) is extended.·The object on the stage is not focused if the close-up lens is removed from the camera head.·Zoom is set at Tele after focusing at Wide angle.Focus on the point of max. Tele.·It is difficult to automatically focus on such objects as referred on page 15.
The lamp is not quickly turned on.	·This is caused by the built-in safety circuit for protecting the lamp. This is not a fault.
Image is too dark.	·The iris control knob (IRIS) is set at dark side (CLOSE).·The illumination is not sufficient. Use the lighting unit.
Input selection can not be made.	·Inputting to S-video while connecting output of C-video to the monitor or vice versa.
The playback image is stripped looking.	This is caused by the interference strips between the dot of printed material and the scanning line. This is not a fault.
Flickers on TV monitor.	Set the shutter speed to 1/100 to reduce flickers.

*If trouble still persists even after checking the above, consult your dealer or an authorized Elmo service center.
