5. Supply the video output signal of the
camera to be adjusted and the refer-
ence gen-lock input signal to a dual-
trace oscilloscope.
6. Set the oscilloscope to the horizontal
rate and expand the horizontal sync
portion on the oscilloscope.
7. Move the cursor to H PHASE.
8. Adjust the horizontal phase by press-
ing L or M. The adjustable range is
0 to 2.0 µs.
6-3. Line-lock Sync Mode (LL)
Note: The line-lock (LL) sync mode is not available when the camera operates on DC
power.
1. Move the cursor to SYNC and select LL.
Note: The settings in this menu can be
made only when the multiplexed
vertical drive signal (VD2) is not
supplied to the camera.
2. After confirming that the cursor is on
LL, press I. The vertical phase
adjustment menu appears on the moni-
tor screen.
3. Supply the video output signal of the
camera to be adjusted and the refer-
ence camera video output signal to a
dual-trace oscilloscope.
4. Set the oscilloscope to the vertical rate and expand the vertical sync portion on the
oscilloscope.
5. Move the cursor to COARSE. The cursor is highlighted.
6. Press L or M to match the vertical phase for both video output signals as closely as
possible. (COARSE adjustment can be incremented in 16 steps by 22.5 degrees by
pressing L or M.)
Note: After the sixteenth step, the adjustment returns to the first step.
7. Move the cursor to FINE.
8. Press L or M to match the vertical
phase for both video output signals as
closely as possible.
(FINE adjustment can be made by up
to 22.5 degrees by pressing L or
M.)
Notes:
• When the "I" cursor reaches the "+" end, it jumps back to "–". At the same time,
COARSE is incremented by one step to enable a continuous adjustment. The
reverse takes place when the "I" cursor reaches the "–" end.
• When L or M is kept pressed for a second or more, the "I" cursor moves faster.
• To reset COARSE and FINE to the values preset at the factory, press L and M
simultaneously. COARSE and FINE adjustments are preset at the factory to zero-
crossing of the AC line phase.
• If the AC line contains noise (spike noise, etc.), the stability of the vertical phase of
the camera video output signal may be disturbed.

7. White Balance Setting (WHITE BAL)

7-1. Auto-Tracing White Balance Mode (ATW)
You can select one of three modes for white balance adjustment as follows:
The factory default setting is ATW1.
• ATW1 (Auto-Tracing White Balance 1)
Move the cursor to WHITE BAL and
select ATW1.
In this mode, the colour temperature is
monitored continuously and thereby
white balance is automatically set. The
colour temperature range for the prop-
er white balance is approximately 2
600 - 6 000K. Proper white balance
may not be obtained under the follow-
ing conditions:
1. The colour temperature is out of
the 2 600 - 6 000K range.
2. When the scene contains mostly high colour temperature objects, such as a blue
sky or sunset.
3. When the scene is dim.
In these cases, select the AWC mode.
• ATW2 (Auto-Tracing White Balance 2)
Auto-tracing white balance in sodium lamp mode (ATW2)
When you select ATW2 for sodium lamp, white balance is automatically set (no opera-
tion needed).
Note: ATW1 and ATW2 do not appear for WHITE BAL on the system controller setup
menu.
• Automatic White Balance Control
Mode (AWC)
In this mode, accurate white balance is
obtained within a colour temperature
range of approximately 2 300-10 000K.
1. Move the cursor to WHITE BAL and
select AWC → PUSH SW.
2. Press I to start the white balance
setup. The PUSH SW is highlighted to
indicate that the white balance is being
set.
3. When the white balance setting is completed, the PUSH SW returns to normal display.
Note: If white balance is not set, the PUSH SW is being highlighted.
4. When you want to adjust the white bal-
ance manually, press M to select
AWC and press I. The AWC menu
appears on the monitor screen. (When
ATW is selected, pressing I dis-
plays the ATW menu.)
