Overview

The Hitachi HV-F31F/HV-F22F are high precision 3CCD progressive scan color camera, which has single chip digital processing LSI, a C mount prism, three 1/3-inch 800,000 pixels (HV-F31F) / 1/2-inch 1,450,000 pixels (HV-F22F) square CCDs , and an IEEE1394 digital output. A newly developed multi-functional LSI use the accurate 14 bit digital processing technology, which performs the high picture quality signal processing and the picture compensating functions, beyond the capability of the other conventional analog cameras. The IEEE1394 interface reduces the system cost without an image capturing board and special connecting cable.

Features

•

Camera signal processor is single chip LSI.

The Hitachi’s most advanced technology (0.18 um design process, 1.8V internal core drive voltage) produces a single newly developed ultra LSI chip (3 million gates), and contributes to the downsizing and the low power of the camera. In addition, the 12-bit A/D converter and 14 bit internal processor provide high S/N and wide dynamic range.

•

High quality picture

Excellent color reappearance and high definition are materialized by CCD with a high sensitivity micro lens and LSI signal processing technology.

•

6 vector masking

Independent six colors masking is the Hitachi innovation for optimizing color balance. The saturation and the hue of 6 colors (Red, blue, green, cyan, magenta and yellow) are adjusted independently to deliver the best color in image capture, microscope and other applications.

•

Auto white shading compensation

Color shading due to the aberration of C mount lens is automatically compensated (reduced).

Notes to users

Important safety notes

 Use this camera with a 12 VDC power supply.  Observe that flammable objects, water or metal

do not enter the camera interior. These may lead to failure or accident.

 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.

 Stop using the camera at the approach of an

electrical storm (thunder audible). Protect the camera from rain if using it outdoors.

 In event the camera shows any abnormality,

switch off the camera and disconnect the power cord. Contact a Hitachi Denshi service representative.

Operating considerations  Power supply

Check that the supplied voltage is between 10.5 and 15 VDC. Inadequate voltage can affect color fidelity and cause noise, while voltage over 15 V can damage the camera.

 Connectors

Confirm the power is off before connecting or disconnecting a signal cable. Grasp connectors by the body, not the attached wires.

 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.

 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 0 to 4 ℃ 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

 A photographer’s blower or lens brush can be used for clearing dust from the lens and optical filters.  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.

 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

CAUTION:

Observe the dimensions of the lens mounting selection as illustrated at the right.

If the dimensions are not observed, do not use such a lens, because the lens and the camera will be damaged.

Selecting a lens

The proper lens is important for obtaining adequate performance from the camera. Especially in the case of a three elements CCD system C mount camera, the lens incidence and exit distances are important. If separation is too short, color irregularity Is apt to occur at the top and bottom of the image. Conversely if too long, where the lens iris is a nearly fully open, resolution is impaired, while shading and flare can seriously detract from image quality. When using 3 CCD color system camera, it is also recommended to use a lens designed for this purpose.

Lens optics

Lens flange

HV-F31F: Max. 4.3mm HV-F22F: Max. 4.0mm

Camera mounting

The camera is provided with threaded screw holes at the top and bottom. These allow mounting to either a tripod or a mounting bracket.

Screw type: U 1/4-20 Length: 4.5 to 6 mm

Screws longer than 6 mm can cause internal damage, while less than 5 mm prevents secure fastening and risks dropping to cause damage and injury.

Control and Status register (CSR)

HV-F31F and HV-F22F differ from earlier conventional cameras in that camera functions can be set by entering predetermined setting commands in the Control and Status register (CSR) of the 1394-based Digital Camera Specification Ver. 1.30. Common and camera-specific CSR register setting operations are described below.

Indication example：

Lower 32 bits of 64 bit CSR address are displayed. ex：

F0F0 0800 h

means

Function name (CSR: xxxx xxxx h)

Function description

BUS_ID, NODE_ID, FFFF F0F0 0800 h.

1. IIDC Standard CSR

(1) BRIGHTNESS (CSR: F0F0 0800 h)

Master black level is adjusted

-Manual adjustment-

Setting value 820000xx h xx: 00h to FFh (standard 80h)

Can be set in range of 00h to FFh. Setting value to 00h side lowers black level. FFh side raises black level.

(2) SHARPNESS (CSR: F0F0 0808 h)

Sharpness level adjustment (object contour correction)

-Manual adjustment-

Setting value 820000xx h xx: 00h to FFh (standard 80h)

Contour correction can be set in range of 00h to FFh. Setting value toward 00h side reduces correction for softer contours. Setting toward FFh side increases correction for sharper contours.

(3) WHITE BALANCE (CSR: F0F0 080C h)

White balance adjustment

-Manual adjustment-

Setting value 820xx0yy h xx: 00h to FFh (B gain)

yy: 00h to FFh (R gain)

White balance is adjusted manually by adjusting R and B gain. Gain is reduced at 00h side and raised at FFh side.

-One Push Auto White Balance (AWB)-

Setting value 86000000 h

State for automatic white balance adjustment.

-AUTO (ATW)-

Setting value 83000000 h

White balance is adjusted in real time (automatic tracking). An effective function when the scene is subject to changes in color temperature of the light source. The speed for changing the color temperature is selected by

A. WHT SPEED.

(4) GAIN (CSR: F0F0 0820 h)

Electrical sensitivity is adjusted.

-Manual adjustment-

Setting value 82000xxx h xxx: 000h to 0C0h (1dB ≒ 010h)

Adjusts electrical sensitivity in the range of 0 to 12 dB.

-AUTO-

Setting value 83000000 h

Gain is automatically adjusted in the range of 0 to 12 dB in response to light source brightness.

(5) SHUTTER (CSR: F0F0-081C h)

Sets electronic shutter speed.

-OFF (HV-F22:1/15sec, HV-F31:1/30) -

Setting value 80000000 h

Switches off shutter operation.

-Manual adjustment-

Setting value 82000xxx h xxx: (HV-F22) 7C5h to B6Ch / (HV-F31) 789h to B27h

Electronic shutter can be set in the range of 4 to 1/100,000 second.

Shutter speed setting value can be derived as follows.

OFF_SPEED = 15 (HV-F22), 30 (HV-F31).

• Cause of shutter speed ≦ (1 / OFF_SPEED)

a) Setting value obtained from fluorescent time.

nnnh = 800h + log

( OFF_SPEED×”Shutter Speed”)

0.99

b) Fluorescent time obtained from setting value.

Shutter Speed[sec] = OFF_SPEED × 0.99

Ex. 1 Fluorescent time with HV-F31 = setting value nnn to obtain 1/100 second. 800h+ log

(30×(1/100))

0.99

= 800h+ log(30×(1/100)) / log0.99

= 878h

Ex. 2 Setting value nnn that produces 1/100 second fluorescent time with HV-F31F. (1/30) × 0.99

(878h－800h)

= 1/100(sec)

• Cause of shutter speed > (1 / OFF_SPEED)

a) Setting value obtained from fluorescent time.

nnnh = 801h - (

OFF_SPEED×”Shutter Speed” )

b) Fluorescent time obtained from setting value.

(nnn―800h)

Shutter Speed[sec] = (801h – nnn ) / OFF_SPEED

Example Fluorescent time = 1/7.5s usable as setting value nnn with HV-F31F. 801h - (30×(1/7.5)) = 7FDh

-AUTO-

Setting value 83000000 h

Trigger operation and timing chart

External trigger refer to a function for picking up rapidly moving objects by applying a trigger pulse input. It is possible to pick up an image with various timing.

1. HV-F31F

(1) External trigger operating mode: Mode 0

When external trigger signal is high active, light pulse begins at the rising edge of the trigger signal and ends at the falling edge. At the trigger signal falling edge, the internal VD signal is reset and the video data are transmitted.
