    8. Optical Filter The KP-F1 is provided with a IR cut filter, that can be removed if required for a specific application. Removal of the IR cut filter. 1. Remove two screws (1) shown, and filter holder (2) will come off.
  • Page 14: Optional Connection

    • Supply HD and VD pulses to the KP-F1 when using external sync drive. • The power supply voltage should be between 11 and 13 volts DC and should be free of noise and ripple. • Confirm proper voltage polarity before connecting a external power supply to the KP-F1.

    11. Camera Settings Gamma (y) correction Factory setting is OFF (1.0), but it is changeable if necessary. VIDEO OUT 1 (SW101) and VIDEO OUT 2 (SW102) can be set separately. GAIN adjustment Video output GAIN is adjustable. Adjusted to 0.70 V p-p (y OFF) at F4, 4001ux at factory setting.
  • Page 16 White clip adjustment White clip is adjustable. Adjusted to 1.0 Vp-p at factory setting. VIDEO OUT 1 (RV102) and VIDEO OUT 2(RV106) are used for adjusting white clip White suppress (knee) adjustment available upon request. Video signal level is prevented from white saturation and dynamic range is extended. It is adjusted so that the video level exceeding 120% can be suppressed.

    Field-on-demand The field-on-demand function is set as follows. 12. Video Output Modes The frame shutter function operates in either of the following modes. Simultaneous odd/even field output mode The CCD odd and even line pixels are read simultaneously and are separately output simultaneously (video 2-channel output).

  • Page 19: External Synchronization

    Progressive Non-interlace (EIA: 1/30 s, CCIR: 1/25 s) 13. External synchronization (2:1 interlaced) When operating the camera by external drive signals, connect sync drive signals (HD and VD) to the DC IN/SYNC connector. When sync signals are supplied, the mode is automatically switched from the internal sync mode to the external sync mode.
  • Page 20: Field-On-Demand Function

    14. Field on demand function Field on demand refers to a function for picking up rapidly moving objects by applying a trigger pulse input at a desired timing to provide a desired or a fixed exposure time. The function is effective since the object is always taken at the same position in the picture.

    Trigger specifications: 5 Volts p-p +0.5/-1.0 Volts p-p a: 2I: 1 field or more EIA: 16.7 ms or more CCIR: 20 ms or more 1 frame or more EIA: 33.4 ms or more CCIR: 40 ms or more 741.6 µs (EIA) 1131.3 µs (CCIR) b: 2I: 1250.1 µs (EIA)
  • Page 22: Sync Non-Reset Mode

    Sync non-reset mode. At a single trigger pulse input (Trigger C), exposure starts at the pulse rising edge and ends at the pulse falling edge. The video output is obtained at the next field after the end of the exposure. The pulse width equals the exposure time.

    produced ( a normal picture will not be obtained ). Use a sync signal that is free of noise. Trigger specifications: 5 Volts p-p +0.5 / 1.0 Volt p-p 8 µs or more High period 15. Non-interlaced operation When non-interlaced external sync drive signals (HD/VD) are connected from an external unit, the mode is automatically switched to non-interlaced scanning mode.
