    For applications in which a non-composite video signal is required, the 2.11 Operational camera is easily configured to provide this. This operational video output signal does not include a synchronizing signal and is therefore DC in Video Output nature with the black level defined at 0 volts. The standard camera cable is 3 meters in length.

    Adjustment of Video Level * * For -08 Camera Head This imaging tube employs a intensifier with adjustable voltage. Increasing this voltage increases the sensitivity accordingly. The best quality image is obtained when the SENSITIVITY control is turned to its minimum position. Increased voltage results in a poorer S/N, therefore, the SENSITIVITY control should be increased only when the imaging system cannot supply enough illumination or it is in- tentionally desired to reduce object illumination.
