Page 8: Description
1 DESCRIPTION The SCE-X, 36:1 is a high performance miniature Color Zoom camera intended for use in shallow water applications. The SCE-X, 36:1 is rated to 70 meters water depth. The camera has been designed from the outset with an eye towards simple, straightforward operation and maintenance. - Page 9 Focus position, Zoom position, and Exposure Settings. A wiring diagram (Drawing No. 53-04126) outlining the basic interconnections within the SCE-X, 36:1 Camera is included in the Appendix of this manual. 53-04127A 05FEB08...

Differential modes of operation. 2.8.2 Cameras with RS-232 Control (Option) SCE-X, 36:1s can be furnished with interconnections for remote control from a computer terminal or any device that can send RS-232 messages. On these cameras all of the operating functions including focus, zoom and exposure can be controlled from the computer through two conductors, utilizing standard RS-232 serial data communication. -

2.8.2 above and 3.6 below. CAMERA MODE SELECTION The SCE-X, 36:1 Camera is designed to operate in a variety of operating modes that determine what input control signals are required and what output signals will be delivered. The selection of operating modes is normally made at the factory and may on occasion require changing at the customer facilities. - Page 14 accomplish these changes. The internal electronics assembly must be temporarily removed from the housing and changes made. The Mode Selection Board is clearly accessible so that the switches can be operated easily. There are two separate DIP switch assemblies on the board labeled S1 and S2. S1 has 8 and S2 has 6 individual switches.

Page 17: Camera Operation
EXPOSURE CONTROL The SCE-X, 36:1 camera provides operation over a wide range of scene illumination. To achieve this wide range the camera achieves Exposure Control through composite operation of the iris, video gain, and shutter modes. For most operations automatic exposure mode is used to optimize the camera for the existing illumination. -

Angle position in air, the MOD is the front window. FOCUS CONTROL The SCE-X, 36:1 camera is normally energized and normally operated in Auto-Focus mode. This provides nearly ideal focusing when the camera is aimed at different scenes and tracks while the zoom control is actuated. In some instances where there are objects in a scene at different distances and there is a need for focusing on specific objects, operation in a Manual Focus Mode may be required. -

Again, some users may prefer to develop their own software allowing customized and added sophistication. LONG LINE AMPLIFICATION (LLA) As delivered, the SCE-X, 36:1 camera is set up for normal composite video output over a relatively short length (<500-ft) of coaxial cable, typically RG-59/U. 53-04127A 05FEB08... -

RF carriers in a commercial home cable TV network. These RF cables are not suitable for baseband video of the type generated by the SCE-X, 36:1 camera. The GOOD QUALITY RG-59 cables for this camera must be selected with good performance in video transmission. -
Page 21: Adjust Lla In Rs-232 Mode
As described in the Computer Control section, the camera can be configured to be controlled via RS-232 commands. When the camera is operated in this configuration, some RS-232 commands can be sent in order to query and adjust the LLA setting. Please Contact ROS for more details. 3.10 OVERLAY CONTROL The camera overlay can be turned off or displayed at different positions on the screen. - Page 22 Each new setting is saved in the flash memory of the microcontroller interface and the overlay position is retained through power cycles. Upon power up the camera overlay will display the current mode of operation (e.g. BIPOLAR). After all settings are displayed the camera overlay will go off. NOTE: Even in the OFF mode, the overlay will automatically be activated when the user enters LLA adjust mode (in the upper left corner).

Page 23: Theory Of Operation
Board assemblies are shown on Wiring Diagram (Drawing 51-11106). 4.1.1 Reverse Polarity Protection Power to the SCE-X, 36:1 camera is received through pin 3 with respect to pin 1 of universal interface connector J1. CR1 serves as a steering diode to prevent damage from accidentally reversed power connections to the camera. -

incoming control signals. The outputs of the inverters are logic levels and are sent to a microcontroller. The microcontroller decodes the logic signals and sends RS- 232 messages to the camera module to enable the selected control function. The microcontroller messages to the camera are conditioned by the MAX332 (U5) and then sent to the camera through J7 pins 5 and 6. -

Many times a quick call to the ROS Technical Support Department will help in restoring operation with minimum effort. Most failures in the field turn out to be cabling problems, and the camera is typically the least likely cause. -

This is normally Pin 2 on the standard connector, and exits the ROS controller on the middle pin of the BNC connector on the rear panel. Normal resistance should only be a few ohms unless the system cable is extremely long. - Page 27 11 VDC < Input Voltage < 30 VDC Variations in voltage from those tabulated above may be helpful in analyzing a fault. If camera operation is less than satisfactory at this point, ROS's Technical Services Department should be contacted for assistance.

Page 28: Maintenance
6 MAINTENANCE Maintenance of the camera is typically limited to cleaning, and maintenance of the O-ring seals on the window and rear end plate. The acrylic window should only be cleaned with a commercial lens cleaner or with a mild soap and water. Use only a soft cloth or lens tissue to avoid scratching the surfaces. -
