JVC KY-F560 Specification page 3

Thanks to the incorporation of a newly developed 12-bit ADC and 24-bit DSP, this compact 3-CCD
system camera can deliver superb, high-quality images with excellent color reproduction and
accurate color separation. High sensitivity of F13 at 2000 lx makes this high-performance camera
even more versatile, allowing high-quality indoor shooting in a studio or classroom. Optional
expansion accessories such as an SDI output card and Studio Adapters for digital or analog
applications allow easy, low-cost integration into studio, CATV and remote systems.
1/2" 3-CCD color accuracy (trichromatic
prism)
The KY-F560 incorporates three 1/2" 410,000*
(NTSC) and 470,000** (PAL) pixel CCDs, each
equipped with advanced circuitry that virtually
eliminates vertical smear when shooting bright
lights against a dark background. Lag and
image burn are also reduced to indiscernible
levels. The result is clear, sharp image quality
under a wide range of shooting conditions.

F13, 2000 lx sensitivity
Even in extreme low light situations, this ultra-
sensitive camera (F13 at 2000 lx) assures
effortless shooting thanks to an on-chip lens
system CCD and advanced video processing
circuitry. This powerful feature increases
creative flexibility and simplifies lighting
requirements.
Newly developed 12-bit ADC and 24-bit
DSP for dynamic range of more than
400% and near-perfect gamma
correction
The KY-F560 is equipped with the most up-to-
date 12-bit ADC on the market, allowing digital
conversion of the entire dynamic range of each
CCD with maximum precision and no
distortion. This superior performance makes
possible extra-high horizontal resolution of 850
TVL and S/N of 64dB (NTSC) and 62dB (PAL).
Image quality is further enhanced by a super-
fast 24-bit multi-stream parallel processing
DSP that dramatically improves highlight
handling and achieves near-perfect gamma
correction. Together, these advanced

Remote Camera System
The remote camera system allows broadcasting and teleconferencing
using high-quality pictures with excellent color reproduction and high-
speed image transfer.

Can be expanded to include 26-pin
connector and SDI compatibility with
optional boards and studio adapters
Thanks to its open architecture, this camera
can be expanded to handle digital or analog
studio applications with the KA-F5603 Studio
Adapter with SDI output or the KA-F5602
Studio Adapter with analog video output via
the RM-P210. An optional large viewfinder,
intercom and remote control are available to
complement either studio camera system. The
KA-F5601 plug-in SDI camera interface can
also be used for remote camera applications in
conjunction with the remote pan & tilt system.
Remote camera control via SDI interface
possible in conjunction with pan & tilt
head and system controller
With the SDI interface installed in combination
with the pan & tilt system, you'll be able to
operate the pan & tilt head remotely as well as
control various camera settings such as MD
lens zoom & focus and white balance — all
without separate wiring to the camera and at
distances of up to 100 m (Fujinon), 2000 ft.
(ESI).
Control of main camera parameters
A wide range of camera parameters including
white shading, knee, gamma, flare correction,
master black/black balance and color matrix
can be adjusted to suit shooting conditions
and operator preferences.

Full-time automatic operation
To ensure accurate color reproduction under
variable lighting conditions, the KY-F560
features a Full-Time Auto White Balance
system that automatically and continuously
adjusts white balance over a wide range to
ensure stable, accurate color reproduction.
Changes in light level are also dealt with
automatically by a high-performance ALC
function that increases the gain when the light
level is low, and a sophisticated EEI function
that uses the variable electronic shutter to
reduce sensitivity when the light level is high.
This combination of Full-Time Auto White, ALC
and EEI allows the KY-F560 to shoot
continuously, making automatic corrections as
required without the need for operator
intervention.
RS-232C interface capability and JVC
KY-F32 series compatibility
The KY-F560 comes with a built-in RS-232C
interface that allows you to control the camera
with a PC. As the RS-232C protocol is
compatible with the KY-F32 camera, you can
replace the KY-F32 with the KY-F560 if
required.

Studio Camera System
This camera can be used as an ordinary studio camera in combination
with one of the studio adapters with varying interfaces. The camera is
also well suited for transfer of images to studio editing systems. The
choice of the SDI interface enables signal transmission over long
distances without degradation.
