adjust all cameras to prevent camera-to-
camera variations in picture tone.

below, input the same sync signal to all
cameras.
For connections, see "Connecting Two or
More Cameras — Multi-Camera System" on
page 31.

reference camera one by one.
1
Adjust the horizontal phase. Select
H. PHASE from the SYSTEM menu,
and adjust so that the reference video
signal and the output signal have the
same horizontal sync phase. Use a
waveform monitor or an oscilloscope
to check the phase.

SC. PHASE from the SYSTEM menu.
First adjust the subcarrier phase roughly
with SC. PHASE ROUGH set to 0° and
180°, then adjust it finely using SC.
PHASE FINE so that the reference video

the same subcarrier phase. Use a
vectorscope or the wiping function of a
special-effects generator to display the
images of both the reference camera and
the camera to be adjusted
simultaneously on the screen.
