Preface This is an HD/SD multi-format camera that adopts 14-bit analog to digital conversion and digital video signal processing, with a compact and lightweight 2/3˝ 3CCD system offering high reliability and availability of multiple functions. Setting and switching of the camera’s status and its various functions can be performed easily with the menu screen system. ...
Features The camera features high reliability through adoption of 14-bit analog to digital conversion and digital video signal processing. Compatible with multiple formats • The format can be switched between 1080i, 720p, and 480i. The transition from an SD format system to an HD format system can be performed smoothly.
Special notes on operation Turn power off before connecting or disconnecting cables. Connection or disconnection of any studio cable or other cable to any unit of equipment must be performed while power is off. While the camera is in automatic mode; Shooting of bright objects in ELC operation mode may result in a smeared picture unique to the CCD.
Precautions for use DON’TS Do not attempt to disassemble the camera or other units. In order to prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking, etc. The camera contains sensitive components which could be damaged by improper handling or storage.
Page 11
Precautions for use Refer any servicing to qualified service personnel. Handle the camera with care. Protect the precision made lens by placing the lens cap over when the camera is not in use. If the lens is not installed, protect the surface of the prism by placing the body cap into the lens mount hole.
Precautions for installation Concerning the installation location of the camera Ensure that the installation location is strong enough to bear at least five times the total weight of the camera, lens, and cables (approx. 55.1 lbs. [25 kg]). When mounting to a pan-tilt head or to a mounting bracket for installation, ensure that the location is strong enough to accommodate its weight as well.

Use mode setting Use Mode Setting The camera has four use modes, and various functions for four use modes have been preset. Functions can be set as best suited to each use mode. Halogen mode Suited to indoor shooting, such as at weddings, parties, lecture meetings, events, etc. Settings can be changed using a simple menu.
Use mode setting Selecting 1. Turn the camera on while keeping the MENU switch depressed. The use mode setting menu appears on the monitor screen. 2. The cursor moves each time the UP/ABB switch or the DOWN/BAR switch is pressed. Move the cursor to the desired use mode.
Operating procedure Turn on the power of the camera and other units. Adjust the lighting of the subject to the appropriate level. Select the operating mode. Once the mode has been selected, it need not be selected again when the camera is going to be used under the same conditions.
Adjustment Flange back adjustment (For zoom lens) This is for adjusting the zoom lens focus over the entire focusing range from the TELE end to the WIDE end. 1. Fully open the iris by shooting a dark object. 2. Aim the camera at any object over 6.56 ft. (2 m) away from the camera, and then loosen the flange back lock knob.
Adjustment White balance adjustment Automatic white balance control (AWB: AWB A/AWB B) When “AWB A” or “AWB B” has been selected as the white balance setting on the Color Set sub menu (pages 62, 70), two sets of color temperature conditions can be preset (stored in the memory): one set for A and another set for B.
Page 54
Adjustment Notes White balance may not be correctly set if the lighting of the object is too weak. Since the camera has a built-in memory, the set white balance will remain in the memory even if power is turned off. Therefore, it is not necessary to reset the white balance if the color temperature of those objects remains unchanged.
Adjustment Black balance adjustment Close the lens. If the motor drive lens is controlled from the camera, the lens is automatically closed when the black balance is adjusted. The R/B pedestal adjustment of painting setting will be automatically reset to ±0 after setting the black balance.
Adjustment Total pedestal level adjustment (Use an oscilloscope or a waveform monitor for this adjustment.) This step is to adjust the black levels (pedestal levels) of two or more cameras to be the same. Please contact your dealer for the adjustment. 1.
Adjustment Genlock adjustment Phase adjustments must be performed with the camera menu when external synchronizing signals are supplied to the system in cases where multiple cameras are used or peripheral devices are connected. Please contact your dealer for the adjustment. Notes ...
Page 58
Adjustment • When adjusting the phase of SD signals Observe the waveforms of the external synchronizing input signal (black burst signal) and video output signal on a two-channel oscilloscope. Then match the horizontal phase of both signals by adjusting them with the horizontal phase control of the camera menu.
Page 59
Adjustment Color phase adjustment Color phase adjustment is necessary only for the composite or Y/C signals of the SD format. Adjust the color phase of the camera to the basic color tone such as program output signal (split color bar output signal) from the color special effect generator.
