CIRCUIT OPERATIONS
CAMERA UNIT (CAMERA PCB)
The camera unit is composed a lens, color filter, CCD (IC802), driver (IC800) and signal
processor (IC802). It produces voltages R, B, and G, for the colors red, blue, and green
when light from a scene is focused on the surface. These voltage values vary according
to the intensity of the respective color being scanned.
The camera unit must be replaced with whole unit when it is defective, because the precise
adjustment is required when the individual parts are replaced, and can be done only at our
factory.

Digital PCB is composed Microprocessor (IC600), D RAM (IC601), Flash Memory (IC602),
Gate Array (IC700), and V RAM (IC701).
Microprocessor controls the CCD, D RAM, Flash Memory and key operation. Gate array
compresses data for the color and the luminance from the CCD to increase the number of
memory, and up to 96 images can be stored in flash memory. The color and the luminance
data are mixed in the gate array to make the video signal.
As to spare parts for digital PCB, Casio supplies PCB ass'y and the individual parts.

Each picture element electrode is controlled by a transistor. To the gate electrodes, the
gate pulse is applied timesharing. VCOM voltage is applied to the common electrodes.
The above figure shows the operation of TFT-LCD. If the gate pulse is not applied to
the gate electrodes, the transistors do not operate even when the potential difference
is given between the common electrodes and source electrodes, and no effect is given
to the liquid crystal. If the gate pulse is applied to Y1, the transistorT1 is in operation
during a priod of t1, and voltage of source electrode of Va is applied to the LCD layer
of picture element A, then electric charges are stored in the picture element of A. After
the period of t1, T1 is turned off, and voltage in the LCD layer of A is held until next
gate pulse comes, but it drops little by little through off leak resistance of TFT and leak
resistance of LCD itself.
BACK LIGHT
The camera unit is equipped with a fluorescent light source to provide the back lighting
for its LCD. The normal service life of the backlight is approximately six years, when the
camera is used for about two hours a day.
The backlight is consumption items, so even under guarantee replace it under charge
basis.

COLOR ADJUSTMENT
Each of this model has a color information in its flash memory due to the CCD camera has a color characteristic.
The color information is loaded in the flash memory when the color adjustment is done after assembling of this
model in our factory. A brand-new flash memory and digital PCB ass’y stocked in our spare parts center do
not have the color information, so the color adjustment should be done after the following situation.
• Replacing the digital PCB ass’y with the brand-new one
• Replacing the flash memory with the brand-new one
And it also should be done, after the following situation due to change of the color characteristic.
• Replacing the camera unit
The following items are required for the color adjustment.
• PCIBM PC/AT or compatible
RS-232C serial port
4 MB RAM minimum (8 MB recommended)
