Color Micro-Camera Series
Unprecedented Image Quality
The industry's first progressive remote head camera (GP-US732H) adds sharper flicker free
performance while continuing to maintain superior sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio, horizontal
resolution and color reproduction capability.
High image quality, sensitivity, and signal-to-noise ratio
Progressive Benefits
Uses the progressive system for the first time
in the industry for remote head cameras
Sharp images realized with no flickering
For the first time in the industry, GP-US732H uses the progressive
system with a separate camera head and control unit. The progressive
system accomplishes the scanning in one frame compared to interlace
scanning which divides video images into even and odd fields. The
resulting image is sharper with less flickering, making this an ideal
camera for use as a microscope camera for research.
It is possible to switch the interlace and progressive systems when
necessary, using the progressive system for capturing moving images
or using the interlace system where extra sensitivity is required.
Interlace system
Video imaging* by scanning odd and even fields.
Excellent for still images or subjects with little
movement.

High Sensitivity, Clear images of Dark Areas
Both GP-US522HB and GP-US732H have high sensitivity level. With
sensitivity of F16 (2,000 lux), GP-US522HB can capture a scene with
minimum illumination reduced to 5 lux. These new cameras produce
clear images in low light condition.
S/N (signal-to noise) Ratio of over 62 dB for
Better Picture Quality
The 3CCD Micro Camera Series has a high signal-to-noise ratio of over
62 dB.
Life-like Color reproduction
Gamma Correction, Improved Dynamic Range
The set-up menu includes the gamma correction function. You can
select optimum contrast settings for both bright and dark areas. This
function prevents blurring and thus provides a clearer picture even in
bright or dark areas.
6-Axis Color Matrix Control
Function-Reproduction of Life-like Colors
Each color can be adjusted separately without changing the white
balance of the entire image. For red colors, very fine adjustment is
available, which is particularly useful for biological research. With this
function, you can make optimum color adjustments for various systems
and applications.

High Resolution
Over 800-Line Horizontal Resolution
GP-US522HB: The 1/2-type 3CCD with super high sensitivity provides
the best picture quality. Horizontal resolution is more than 800 lines.
The GP-US732H using a 1/3-type 3CCD has a horizontal resolution of
750 lines.
Improved Contour Correction
The high-band aperture function increases the resolution by amplifying
the high frequency.
You can make horizontal and vertical contour adjustments separately to
ensure clear images.
Red Enhancement
By switching the RED DTL in the set-up menu to ON, you can enhance
red colors only; other details are adjusted as usual. Red colors are
reproduced with high resolution. This function is particularly useful for
biological research.

Highly Advanced Functions
The on-screen menu facilitates simple and
efficient adjustments.
You can make these adjustments while
observing the image. A list of camera
functions are displayed on the monitor screen.
Simply select the appropriate presets and
press the corresponding buttons to complete
the setting of the Color Matrix Control, Red Enhancement, Gamma
Correction and many other highly advanced functions.
Scene File Function Stores and
Recalls Setting Information
The memory can store up to two different
scene files containing the settings you have
established in the on-screen menu. For
example, you can store the setting for imaging
bright subjects as Scene 1, the setting for
imaging dark subjects as Scene 2 and either
can be called up when needed.
Sensing Area Selection to Ensure Correct Exposures
You can select a sensing area from five presets: ALL, CENTER,
CIRCLE (Small), CIRCLE (Medium) and CIRCLE (Large), when AGC
or ELC is selected. Otherwise, it can be set for automatic or manual
operation.
This function is effective for microscopy or situations when you cannot
illuminate the subject area uniformly.

2-Dimensional Low-Pass Filter to Control Moire
The set-up menu includes a 2D Low-Pass Filter. You can turn this
function ON or OFF from the menu. The 2D Low-Pass Filter prevents
moire and improves image clarity.
Other Functions
Syncro-Scan adjusts the shutter timing for synchronization with a
computer display. Electronic Shutter (7 steps between 1/100 (PAL :
1/120) sec and 1/10,000 sec) or auto ELC (Electric Light Control)
Function. Other functions include the freeze-image capturing function
and 2.5 x electronic zoom function. Even when the subject is moving,
the progressive system produces a high resolution image that is free of
blurring.
