Precautions
Avoid installing the unit in the following locations.
Places exposed to rain or moisture
¢ Places with an ambient temperature outside tie range of -10
to +50°C (operation) or from 0 to +40°C (recommended).
Places subject to excessive dust or to oil or gas:
When this unit is used with AGC ON, an image recorded in a
dark location may look noisy due to the automatic boost in sen-
sitivity. This is not a malfunction.
When this unit is used with the AUTO white balance control,
the recorded colors may differ slightly from the actual colors
due to the operation of the automatic-tracking white balance
control circuit. This is not a malfunction.
When a bright object (such as a lamp) is shot, a white, comet-
tail phenomenon may be observed above and below the bright
object on the screen. This is a phenomenon (called smear) in-
herent in CCD image pickup devices and is not a malfunction.
The electronic shutter speed of this unit has been set to 1/60
: U-ver. 1/50 : E-ver. second at the factory. If you use this unit
under fluorescent lamps in an area with the local power frequency
of 50 Hz : U-ver., 60 Hz : E-ver. switch the shutter speed to 1/
100 : U-ver.,1/120 : E-ver. sec. (The sensitivity will be degraded
slightly at 1/100 : U-ver.,1/120 : E-ver. sec.)
When this unit is used with the "AUTO" or "MANU" (2/60 - 32/
60 : U-ver., 2/50 — 32/50 : E-ver.) shutter mode in a dark place,
the sensitivity enhancement function is activated and the pic-
ture movement may become intermittent or white dots may
appear on the CCD, but this is not a malfunction.
Lens aperture will be open when the electronic shutter is oper-
ated on AUTO (except FAST 1/60 : U-ver.,.1/50 : E-ver.) mode
with an auto iris lens in use, To avoid this, set the shutter to any
mode other than AUTO or use a manual (fixed) iris lens.
Features
™ High-quality picture provided by the 1/2-inch, 410,000-pixel
(380,000 effective pixel) ; for U-ver., 470,000-pixel (440,000 ef-
fective pixel) ; for E-ver. high-performance CCD with 470 TV line
horizontal resolution and 0.95 Ix (25%, F1.2) minimum object
illumination.
Backlight compensation (BLC) detecting areas can be selected from
4 fixed patterns as well as from two user-selectable patterns.
Highlight inverter (HLI) function makes the picture around the
position of a highlight easier to see.
Lens mount switching mechanism makes it possible to use el-
ther a C-mount lens or CS-mount lens.
Menu set-up system eliminates the need to set operations uS-
ing switches and controls.
The Electronic sensitivity enhancement function Susi anuall
provides an appropriate exposure even under low-intensity illu-
mination.
Equipped with a communication terminal for camera setup. .
Auto White Control is available with button operation.
Note:
When the motorized zoom lens with a video iris signal of 1 Vp-p is
used, even if the object is shot under the same lighting condition,
hysteresis phenomenon may occur if the output signal level be-
comes different from the input signal level as a result of bright-
ness variation..
When the electronic shutter is set ta the AUTO mode while this
unit is used under fluorescent lamp illumination, flickering may
be observed in the picture. This is a phenomenon caused by the
relationship between the light's power frequency and shutter
speed, and is not a malfunction.
When using a zoom lens, it is recommended to run the camera
with your zoom lens attached' and 'check the backfocus before
camera installation: The same. applies. to an: attached lens check
the backfocus before camera installation. The same applies to lens
level adjustment. (See the lens instruction manual for details.)
In order to reduce the generation of unnecessary signals, be
sure to install the provided ferrite cores to the lens cable and the
power cable connected to this unit.
Avoid istalling in places where there is radiation.This could
damege CCD and other components and cause a malfunction.
Avoid installing in places where there are strong electro-
magnetic waves or magnetism. the picture could be distorted.
Avoid installing in places where the camera would be subject
to strong vibrations. This could damage components and
degrade the picture.
When you use this camera, the socket-outlet shall be installed
near the equipment so as to disconnect easily.
Caution for video iris lens operation
If the video iris lens is set to too low a level, malfunction such
as the hunting phenomenon, in which the iris opens or closes
unintentionally,.may.occur.. oA
In such a case, first set "LEVEL" potentiometer o on 1 the lens to
the H (iris open) position then adjust it to the optimum level.
