* Part code
Overview
The HV-D25 is a 3 CCD color camera featuring advanced picture quality and high stability. Each 1/2-inch CCD has 410,000 (470,000
PAL) picture elements (pixels), while the circuits from processor to encoder are organized onto a single semiconductor chip. The
precision C mount prism optics provide physical compatibility with a broad selection of general and special purpose lenses.
The exclusive 13-bit digital processor and flexible picture quality compensating functions result from extensive experience in the fields of
broadcast and industrial color cameras. Top level engineering gives this camera performance quality unmatched in previous analog
cameras.
Features
• C mount
The C mount has become a de facto standard among industrial cameras. Together with the built-in flangeback adjustment mechanism,
the camera can accept both off-the-shelf lenses and sophisticated special-purpose optical systems.
• Unitized signal processor
The entire circuit from processor to encoder is organized into a single high density (0.5 m precision) LSI chip that conserves both
space and power. Moreover, the 10 bit A/D converter and 13 bit signal processor provide high signal to noise ratio and wide dynamic
range.
• High resolution
Precision matching of the 1/2-inch 410,000 pixel (470,000 PAL) CCDs with microlenses, plus digital double speed luminance signal
processing achieve a horizontal resolution of 800 TV lines (luminance channel).

• Digital processing enables wide array of functions
Desired hue and tint can be adjusted with 6-vector independently variable masking. Even at wide dynamic range, auto-knee and
dynamic chroma can provide superbly colored images.
The versatile detail compensating functions allow optimum contour compensation to match the scene.
• Intelligent automatic level control (ALC)
Digital light metering of either the overall image or an iris gate with variable size and position, computer chip driven automatic gain
control (AGC), lens iris and auto electronic shutter (AES) provide comprehensive control with respect to a wide variation in light. The
ALC level setting is also variable.
• Three application files
Different setting data according to the application and scene can be stored in 3 application files.
• Bi-directional data communication
The camera can be connected to a personal computer via RS-232C for two-way data communications to provide finely detailed camera
control. An identification (ID) code can be assigned to each camera in a system and allow remotely controlling multiple cameras from
a single computer.
Notes to users
Important safety notes
l Use this camera with a 12 VDC power supply.
l Observe that flammable objects, water or metal do not enter the camera interior. These may lead to failure or accident.
l Do not modify the camera or use the camera with external covers removed. These may cause failure, void any warranties and pose a
safety hazard.
l Stop using the camera at the approach of an electrical storm (thunder audible). Protect the camera from rain if using it outdoors.
l In event the camera shows any abnormality, switch off the camera and disconnect the power cord. Contact a Hitachi Denshi service
representative.
Operating considerations
l Power supply
Check that the supplied voltage is between 10.5 and 17 VDC. Inadequate voltage can affect color fidelity and cause noise,
while voltage over 17 V can damage the camera.
l Connectors
Confirm the power is off before connecting or disconnecting a signal cable. Grasp connectors by the body, not the attached
wires.
2
l Lens
The correct lens is important for deriving optimum performance from the camera. Consult a Hitachi Denshi dealer for a selection of
fine lenses according to the application.
l Installation and storage sites
The following types of environment can impair performance, lead to damage, pose safety hazards and shorten the useful life of the
camera. Select the sites for installing the storing the camera carefully.
• Direct sunlight, rain or snow
• Flammable or corrosive gasses
• Very hot or cold (beyond -10 to 45 operating, -20 to 60 storage)
• Humid or dusty
• Exposed to vibration or shock
• Strong electrical or magnetic fields
• Exceptionally strong light
Continuous operation
In situations where the camera is used continuously for long periods of time, the ambient temperature should be kept below 40 in
order to avoid accelerated deterioration of internal parts and to derive maximum long-term reliability.
Cleaning
l A photographers blower or lens brush can be used for clearing dust from the lens and optical filters.
l Wipe dust from the case with a soft dry cloth. If soiling is severe, moisten the cloth with a solution of neutral detergent. Afterwards,
wipe the cover with a dry cloth.
l Do not use petroleum distillates, alcohol or spray type cleaners.
Transportation
Remove the lens (install lens mount cap) and other attachments. Pack the camera carefully in its original or equivalent container. Use
ample cushioning to protect the camera from physical shock.
CCD properties
The following phenomena are inherent to a charge coupled device imaging element and do not indicate malfunction.
1) Smear and blooming
Vertical bands are visible when a strong light enters the scene. Adjust the camera aiming direction carefully to avoid strong direct
or reflected light.
2) Fixed pattern noise
High ambient temperature can cause fixed pattern noise to appear throughout the scene.
3
3) Moire
Interaction between patterns can produce an additional "phantom" pattern to appear. The CCD picture elements (pixels)
are arranged in a pattern, which can interact with a pattern in the scene (e.g., a performer wearing a finely striped necktie)
to result in a Moire pattern. The effect should be considered when selecting costumes, props and other scene elements.
4) Ghosting
Strong direct or reflected light near an object of interest can cause ghosting of the object to appear in the picture. The
effect is more obtrusive with certain iris settings and lens types. Select the scene layout and camera pointing direction
carefully in order to avoid this effect.

Lens
Note when choosing the lens
The figure indicates the limiting dimensions of the lens
mounting structure. Use care, since an improper lens fitting can
damage both the lens and the camera.
1) The C mount threads must be less than 4.2 mm from the
flange plane.
2) An 18 mm diameter segment of the lens optical axis center
must be must be less than 3.8 mm from the flange plane.
Lens selection
1) Optical characteristics
The proper lens is vital for obtaining full performance from the camera. The exit pupil distance is particularly important for a 3 CCD type
camera. If too short, vertical color shading can appear in the picture.
Also, as the lens iris approaches fully open, problems such as loss of resolution, shading and flare (overall image "white-out") can detract
from picture quality. When using in applications that call for open iris, the following lenses are recommended. If another lens is
contemplated, check the performance beforehand.
Maker Lens type Rating
Cosmicar
Fujinon
Canon
2) Auto iris lens
Main types are Video (with self contained iris amplifier) and DC (DC voltage applied to open lens iris) and manual over-ride (e.g.,
Cosmicar). Lenses without self-contained iris amplifier are not compatible.
Camera settings differ according to the auto iris lens type (see page 23).
Note:
The HV-D25 uses lens connector wiring prescribed by the EIAJ (Electronic Industries Association of Japan). Refer to page 48

Flangeback adjustment
If focus cannot be adjusted after replacing the lens or at the telephoto and wide angle extremes of a zoom lens,
the flangeback can be adjusted. Open the lens iris and adjust as described below.
Fixed focus lens
Set the lens focus ring to infinity and pickup an image more than 20 meters distant. While observing the
picture, adjust the focus by turning the flangeback ring in the F or N direction.
Zoom lens
1) Set the lens to telephoto and pickup an image more than 3 meters distant. Turn the focus ring to adjust the
focus.
2) Set the lens to wide angle and while using care not to disturb the focus ring, turn the flangeback ring to
adjust the focus.
Repeat the above steps until focus is obtained at both the telephoto and wide angle ends.
Video signal type lens adjustment
Adjustment is required after replacing the lens or if using the camera for the first time.
1) Preparation
(1) Release the AGC mode (set the main menu Gain to Normal, High or Max).
(2) If the light source has a flicker component (e.g., fluorescent or mercury lighting), change the electronic
shutter mode (Sub-menu 1 Shutter or Variable) to reduce the flicker.
(3) Adjust the white balance.
