General
The KP-DE500 is an ultra high sensitivity color camera that utilizes the electron multiplication type CCD (EM-CCD) image sensor.
The KP-E500 is an ultra high sensitivity camera that utilizes the electron multiplication type CCD (EM-CCD) image sensor.
Features
Ultra high sensitivity
Ultra high sensitivity is possible due to the electron multiplication (EM) CCD which multiplies the charge on the individual pixels before the charge is converted to a voltage, eliminating noise that would be associated with amplification gain. Moving images retain the clarity and sharpness even under low light conditions.
High color fidelity
An RGB primary color mosaic filter is used to produce images of high vertical resolution and color fidelity.
New digital signal processor (DSP)
A new Digital Signal Processor (DSP) with improved
luminance signal processing and a 5 H enhancer is used to obtain high quality images with a high signal to noise (S/N) ratio.
Various functions
Auto tracking white balance (ATW) Color / Black & White select
Digital noise reduction (DNR)
Electric shutter speed Electric sensitivity enhance Backlight compensation (BLC) Text display (character generator)

Operating considerations
Power supply
Be sure to use the power source specified in the Major Specifications. Before plugging or unplugging a connector, be sure to turn off power. To plug or unplug a connector, be sure to hold the connector section. Note that it will take several seconds until a picture is displayed on the monitor after power on.
Handling
Do not attempt to remove cover. When installing or removing a lens, be sure to use
care that water or dust does not enter the inside of. the camera.
Installing and storage
Avoid installing or storing the camera in the following environments.
Environments exposed to direct sunlight, rain or snow Environments where combustible or corrosive gas
exists Excessively warm or cold environment (Operating ambient temperature: -10 to 50)
Humid or dusty environment Place subjected to excessive vibration or shock Environment exposed to strong electric or magnetic field
Do not aim the camera lens at the sun. Do not shoot strong light or a scene including strong light.
When such a scene is shot, vertical trailings will appear. However, this is not due to failure. In case strong Tight enters the camera through the lens,
partial deterioration in picture quality will result.
To obtain stable performance for long time
When the camera is used continuously for long time under high ambient temperature, the inside electrical parts become deteriorated, resulting in shortening its life.
To use the camera continuously for long time, the highest temperature must be below 40.
Cleaning
Use a blower or a lens brush to remove dusts on the
lens or the optical filter.
Wipe dirts on the case off with dry soft cloth. lf dirks are hardened, wipe them off with cloth moistened
with neutral detergent liquid; wipe the cover with dry cloth. Do not use benzine,thinner,alcohol,liquid cleaner or
spray-type cleaner. In event dust or other debris is lodged between the CCD
and optical filter, consult dealer for cleaning by an optical
technician.

Phenomena inherent to CCD imaging device
Following are the phenomena inherent to a CCD imaging device, and not defects
1) Smear and blooming
When strong light (lamp, fluorescent lamp, and reflected light, etc.) is shot, a blue belt to remain thinly in vertical and the horizontal direction of light might go out.
Moreover, the lower side on the monitor screen might become pure-white momentarily.
In this case, change the angle of the camera so that such strong light does not enter the camera through the lens.
2) Fixed pattern noise
When the camera is operated in a high temperature, fixed pattern noise may appear on the entire screen.
3) Moire
When fine patterns are shot, moire may be displayed.
4) Burning
When excessively intense light comes to the CCD for a long time, the spectral filter in the CCD pixel may be deteriorated, and the color of the corresponding portion may change. Avoid using the camera under such condition.

Flangeback adjustment
Flangeback adjustment is needed in cases where focus cannot be obtained by normal lens focus operation or focus is lost at the maximum telephoto and wide angle settings of a zoom lens. In such cases, open the lens iris and adjust as follows.
Fixed focus lens
1) Set the lens focus ring to infinity.
2) Aim toward an object at least 20 meters distant.
3) Loosen the (2) lens mount screws and turn the lens mount
ring to adjust the focus. Use care not to disturb the lens
focus ring.
4) Tighten the lens mount screws.
NOTE
If using an auto iris lens and the adjustment object distance is less than several meters, due to lens depth of focus relationship, slight blurring can occur at certain iris positions. In this event, darken the scene so as to open the iris and adjust the focus or flangeback to prevent the blurring.

Zoom lens
1) Set the lens to telephoto and aim toward an object at least 20 meters distant.
2) Turn the lens focus ring to adjust the focus.
3) Set the lens to wide angle. Loosen the (2) lens mount
screws and turn the lens mount ring to adjust the focus.
Use care not to disturb the lens focus ring.
4) Again set to telephoto but adjust the focus by turning the Lens focus ring.
5) Repeat these steps and carefully adjust for best focus.
6) Finally, tighten the lens mount screws.

AUTO : Changes to the color image and B/W image
About B/W mode
The camera CCD responds to infrared light (From 700nm to 1000nm) that is invisible to the human eye. The normal color mode uses an IR cut filter to remove the infrared component. Sensitivity is usually more important in the B/W mode. Therefore, the IR cut filter is removed to take advantage of sensitivity in the infrared region.
automatically according to brightness.
1) The character of the rest of “AUTO” is showing the brightness (the image level) where the mode changes from color to a B/W image.
AUTO(H) : About 70% or less of proper levels AUTO(M) : About 50% or less of proper levels AUTO(L) : About 30% or less of proper levels
2) Change is using the scale factor data of the amplification data or SENS UP of automatic gain control for the color image from a B/W image. AGC setting is “OFF” or SENS UP setting is “OFF” / ”MANU” are not able to use the “AUTO” setting of BW MODE.
NOTE
1) In the case that near infrared lighting is used the hunting phenomenon causing repeated changes between the color and B/W mode may occur. Avoid strong near Infrared lighting when using the AUTO Mode.
2) When the mode is changed to a B/W image where
there is no near infrared light a change in sensitivity
does not occur.
3) The focus face of the lens differs in visible light (the color image) and near infrared (the B/W image). The focus has deviated when the mode is changed to a B/W image even if the focus was set properly for the color image. Please use a lens having near infrared response when using the B/W mode.
