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.

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) 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

1/251.51/60.381/30

• 8 1/30 1/25:PAL :Long-time store mode

The camera delivers intermittent video signal output. So, to view continuous images, it is required to use the video memory. A clear image can be attained even if the subject is illuminated with a faint light source. As the store time increases, the degree of after-image becomes higher. (Note) With an increase in store time, the degree of characteristic pattern noise, white scratch, etc. of the

CCD image sensor will become higher.

• 1/60.38 (1/50.31: PAL) 1/251.5 (1/253.8: PAL):Lock scan mode

When an image of a subject display screen having a different scan frequency is taken, a bright or dark horizontal bar appears to roll up or down the screen. When the shutter speed is Variable, operation is at the speed selected by the Variable setting (see below). In the Auto CAM mode, the shutter is set to AES. The shutter speed can be adjusted to where the horizontal bars are minimized in the display. (Note) If the display screen scanning frequency is less than 60Hz (50Hz PAL), the rolling horizontal bars

cannot be stopped. Not settable in the Auto CAM mode.

4)CCD MODE:CCD store mode changeover

• FLD: The field store mode operation is performed (for ordinary purpose of application).

• FRM:Frame store mode operation is performed. The vertical resolution can be increased but the degree of

after-image becomes slightly higher. It is therefore recommended to use the FRM function when taking a still image. (Note) When the shutter mode is AES, even if set to frame, the camera operates in the field mode. In the

Auto CAM mode, The CCD mode is set to FLD.

How to Attain Better Images

Black Balance Adjustment

Adjust black balance to provide proper color tone at a dark part of video image. In the following cases, be sure to carry out black balance adjustment.

• When using the camera first after purchasing it.

• When using the camera after it has been unused for a long time.

• Wen the camera operating environment is changed (e.g., when the ambient temperature varies significantly).

Under normal condition, it is not required to make black balance adjustment at power-on.

1. In the Direct mode, hold the ABB button pressed for about 2 seconds for automatic black balance adjustment. With MESSAGE RTN:ON, AUTO BLACK appears. At the end of successful adjustment AUTO BLACK:OK appears. (Notes) 1) Where the lens having the auto iris function is used, the iris is closed automatically during adjustment.

Sometimes occurs when adjusted with the lens iris in the manual mode (lens iris switch set to M). Open the iris for better exposure.

2) In combinational use with the manual iris lens or microscope, a full-black screen image is provided from the CCD image sensor during adjustment. When picturing after adjustment, a white screen image appears momentarily. This phenomenon is not a symptom of trouble, however.

3) In case that the manual iris lens is used, do not attempt auto black balance adjustment while taking an image of subject having extremely high luminance such as the sun. This may deteriorate black balance accuracy.

2. If black balance adjustment cannot be made, any one of the following messages will appear. Take a proper procedure

according to the error message, and then try black balance adjustment again.

Error message Procedure

AUTO BLACK:NG CHANGE TO CAM TRY AGAIN AUTO BLACK:NG IRIS NOT CLOSE TRY AGAIN

AUTO BLACK:NG ??? TRY AGAIN

• Turn off the color bar.

• Close the lens iris.

• Avoid taking an image of subject having high luminance such as the sun, or decrease

illumination on the microscope.

• Carry out ABB again. If this message appears in repeated attempts, it is necessary to

inspect the inside of the camera. In this case, notify your local Hitachi Denshi sales agent or Hitachi Denshi service office

White Balance Adjustment

Carry out white balance adjustment when the illumination condition (color temperature) is changed. Adjust the white balance when using the camera for the first time or after replacing the lens.

1. In the MENU mode, set up WHITE BAL: MEM 3200K or MEM 5600K.

2. Turn off the MENU screen to select the DIRECT mode.

3. Provide a proper aperture value of lens using the auto iris function or manually.

4. Put an white object in the subject image, and zoom it up.

5. Hold the AWB button pressed for about 2 seconds for automatic white balance adjustment. With MESSAGE

RTN:ON, AUTO WHITE appears. At the end of successful adjustment AUTO WHITE:OK appears.

Note:

If adjusted under a light source that has a flicker component, such as fluorescent or mercury, the white balance accuracy can be impaired. Change the electronic shutter mode (Sub-menu 1 Shutter or Variable) setting to reduce flicker before engaging the auto white balance adjustment.

6. If white balance adjustment cannot be made, any of the following messages will appear. Take a proper procedure

according to the error message, and then try white balance adjustment again.

Error message Procedure

AUTO WHITE:NG CHANGE TO CAM TRY AGAIN AUTO WHITE:NG CHANGE TO MEMORY MODE TRY AGAIN AUTO WHITE:NG LOW LIGHT TRY AGAIN

AUTO WHITE:NG HIGH LIGHT TRY AGAIN

AUTO WHITE:NG C.TEMP HIGH TRY AGAIN

AUTO WHITE:NG C.TEMP LOW TRY AGAIN

• Turn off the color bar.

• Set up WHITE BAL:MEM 3200K or MEM 5600K.

• White balance cannot be made due to insufficient illumination.

• Increase the intensity of illumination, turn lens iris toward open direction, or

increase the gain to provide a proper video level.

• Press the AWB switch again.

• White balance cannot be made due to excess illumination.

• Increase the intensity of illumination, turn lens iris toward closed direction,

or increase the gain to provide a proper video level.

• Press the AWB switch again.

• The color temperature is too high, making it impossible to reach the optimum

value in adjustment. (If there is no problem in practical application, use the camera under the current condition.)

• Add a filter to the lens or illumination to decrease the color temperature.

• The color temperature is too low, making it impossible to reach the optimum

value. (If there is no problem in practical application, use the camera under the current condition.)

• Add a filter to the lens or illumination to increase the color temperature.

AUTO WHITE:NG C. TEMP HIGH CHANGE TO MEM 5600K TRY AGAIN AUTO WHITE:NG C. TEMP LOW CHANGE TO MEM 3200K TRY AGAIN AUTO WHITE:NG LONG SHUTTER MODE CHANGE SHUTTER MODE TRY AGAIN CAM MODE:AUTO CHANGE TO MANUAL

• Color temperature too high for optimum adjustment.

• Set WHITE BAL to MEM 5600 K mode.

• Color temperature too low for optimum adjustment.

• Set WHITE BAL to MEM 3200 K mode.

• Release the long shutter mode.

• Set camera mode to manual.

Realtime Auto White

The camera detects a white part in the image by itself, and its internal microcomputer automatically adjusts white balance in realtime. Use this function in case that the color temperature varies with time (e.g., from morning to day to night).

1. In the MENU mode, set up WHITE BAL:AUTO. (Note 1) If the color temperature of the scene being taken is changed abruptly (when the camera is oriented from indoor

side to outdoor side), the image may become bluish or reddish momentarily. This phenomenon is not a symptom

of trouble, however. Immediately after it, the optimum white balance condition is set. (Note 2) If adjusted under a light source that has a flicker component, such as fluorescent or mercury, the white balance accuracy can be impaired. Change the electronic shutter mode (Sub-menu 1 Shutter or Variable) setting to reduce flicker before engaging the auto white balance adjustment.

Where the camera is mounted fixedly and the orientation and image-taking range of the camera remain unchanged. it is advisable to use the white gate function in combination for attaining higher accuracy in white balance.

1. In the MENU mode, set up WHITE GATE:ON.

2. Using the WHITE GATE menu in the MENU mode, bring the display window to a monochrome part (white or gray part) in the image.

For details of the WHITE GATE function, refer to p. 18. Be sure to set the WHITE GATE window to a white or gray part in the image. Do not set it to a colored part.

Auto Shading Correction

Color shading may occur in the vertical direction on screen due to any characteristic of lens. This camera is equipped with a function for correcting color shading automatically.

1. Provide a proper aperture value of lens using the auto iris function or manually.

2. Take an white image fully on screen. At this step, take care so that uneven brightness will not occur in the vertical direction.

3. In the DIRECT mode, press the AWB button. White balance is adjusted automatically.

4. In the MENU mode, carry out AUTO SHADING. Thus, color shading in the image is corrected automatically.

(Note 1) When using the camera for the first time or after replacing the lens, just be sure above instructions. (Note 2) If adjusted under a light source that has a flicker component, such as fluorescent or mercury, the white balance

accuracy can be impaired. Change the electronic shutter mode (Sub-menu 1 Shutter or Variable) setting to reduce flicker before engaging the auto white balance adjustment.

ALC

In combination of GAIN:AGC, SHUTTER:AES and AUTO IRIS, the following four kinds of ALC (auto level control) can be performed. This feature ensures stable video signal output according to a wide-range change in illumination. Note: 1 AES cannot be combined with a Video type lens. 2 When not using an auto iris lens, at the Lens menu, set Lens Type to DC and Iris Mode to Manual.

Lock scan mode shutter speed setting

1 Press the Setup button and open the main menu, then open Sub menu 1. Set the cursor to SHUTTER by pressing D,

select the VARIABLE position with the L-R buttons, again press D to shift to the variable items.

2 Press the L and R buttons to set the shutter speed in the range indicated below. Set the desired shutter speed.

Notes

1. Each pressing of the L or R button changes the shutter speed by 1 H. Hold the button depressed for continuous change.

2. If the display scanning frequency is below 60 Hz, the rolling horizontal bar cannot be stopped.

3. Raising the shutter speed improves resolution of moving objects, but loses sensitivity to the extent auxiliary lighting may be needed for outdoor scenes. Also, vertical smear increases with higher shutter speeds due to the physical properties of CCD cameras.

Long-Time Store Mode

In case that illumination on the subject is insufficient, just increasing the gain of the camera may cause an increase in noise, resulting in an unclear image. In such a situation, it is advisable to select the long-time store mode using the external memory. Thereby, the image can be brighter and clearer according to the stored amount of image. This camera is provided with two kinds of image store functions (CCD MODE:FLD/FRM in SUB MENU 1). When one of these image store functions is used, video signal output is delivered from the camera with the timing shown below. Since the degree of after-image increases for a moving subject because of image storing, it is recommended to use the image store function when taking a still picture or scene.
