Gain control Adjusts a video level. Set to 0.7Vp-p at 400lx, f4. (Gamma: off, AGC: Normal) SET UP control Adjusts a setup level. Set to 75 mVp-p. (Gamma: OFF, AGC: Normal) W.CLIP control Clips a video level. Set to 1.0Vp-p. (Max: 1.2Vp-p) W.SUP control Prevents white compression of a video signal and extends a dynamic range.
7. External synchronization (2:1 interlaced) When operating the camera by external drives signals, connect sync drive signals (HD, VD) to the DC IN/SYNC connector, then the mode is automatically switched from the internal sync mode to the external sync mode. Horizontal and vertical drive signal inputs EIA: f(H) = 15.734 kHz ±1 % CCIR: f(H) = 15.625 kHz ±1 %...
8. Field on demand function The KP-M1A is provided with the Field-on-Demand function to record a picture obtained at an optional timing by triggering to an image memory, etc. Four modes are switchable by the internal switch. 1) ONE trigger mode 2) TWO trigger mode 3) Fixed shutter mode: 1/1600s(EIA) / 1/1000s (CCIR) 4) External shutter control mode...

(2) Difference between the restart/reset (R/R) function and the Field-on-Demand (FD) function. R.R. A: Image required for the pulse Restart sync signal only A: Image required for the (Fixed shutter) pulse Reset sync signal and start of shutter R/R function: The desired image is after one field with respect to the input pulse. FD function: The desired image is immediately after the input pulse.

8-1 ONE trigger mode The shutter is started by the rising edge of the trigger A pulse, and V.SYNC is reset by the falling edge of the trigger A pulse. (After reset, the first field is delivered) A shutter time is controlled by the duration when the trigger pulse is high. Only one field image is delivered by one trigger pulse, and a sync signal lasts till the next pulse.
Page 16
8-2 TWO trigger mode V.SYNC is reset by the falling edge of the trigger A pulse. (After reset, the first field is delivered.) The shutter is started by the rising edge of the trigger B pulse. The trigger B pulse is inhibited from the falling edge of the trigger A pulse to 9 to 12H(EIA) /14 to 17H(CCIR), and a correct picture is not obtained.
Page 17
8-3 Fixed shutter mode: 1/1600s(EIA), 1/1000s(CCIR) The shutter is started by the falling edge of the trigger A pulse, and at the same time V.SYNC is reset. (After reset, the first field is delivered.) In this mode, the shutter speed is fixed to 1/1600s (EIA) / 1/1000s(CCIR). Only one field is delivered by one trigger pulse, and a sync signal lasts till the next pulse.
Page 18
8-4 External shutter control mode The shutter is started by the rising edge of the trigger B pulse. The shutter is effective only for the next field of the pulse input. When the trigger B pulse is not supplied the normal exposure results. The V.SYNC pulse of the camera is not reset.
