Thank you for purchasing our CS8531 B/W CCD camera. This operation manual includes some important information such as how to use this equipment correctly and safely. Please read through this manual carefully. After reading, keep this manual by the side of your equipment for your future reference.
Important Safety Instructions Be sure to use DC12V power supply. This equipment is designed and guaranteed to work from 0°C to 40°C. Do not use this equipment beyond that limit. Do not expose image pickup surface to sunlight or other intense light directly.(The heat of these light may do damages to CCDs[charge-coupled device]) Even when the equipment is not in use, make sure to put lens or lens-cap onto the camera head, so that sensitive image pickup surface is protected from fine dusts,...
(3) All pixel’s data Read Out Unlike other CCDs, which read out all pixel’s data in 2 fields (1/30 sec.), the CCDs of CS8531 read out all pixel’s data in just 1 fields (1/60 sec.). (60Hz interlace, 2 lines output) (4) High vertical resolution As all pixel’s data are read out even in random trigger shutter mode, images with no...

Selection with a inner SW Shutter speed (s) Normal 1/100 1/250 1/500 1/1000 1/2000 1/4000 1/8000 ②Under MIX mode: The same as under NOR mode. ③Under R.R mode: The shutter speed is controlled via external VD signals. (Selection available with an inner SW) (Make sure to set this SW OFF to operate the camera in other modes) The shutter speed (exposure time) is determined by the interval of VD signals.
External Sync. Signal is IN/OUT selectable by inner switch inside the camera control unit. (2) HD, VD Input / Output: IN/OUT selectable (With an inner SW, Initial factory-setting: IN) IN: For inputting HD, VD into CS8531. (Initial factory shipped setting) OUT: For outputting HD, VD from CS8531.
