Phenomena inherent to CCD imaging device

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.

5）White spot

Imperceptible white spots may rarely come up on the screen due to cosmic rays and so on. It becomes easy to appear when the

sensitivity of the camera is raised in the operation at the high temperature.

Operating considerations Notes to users

1. Important safety notes

・ Use this camera with a 12VDC 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 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. Contract a Hitachi Denshi

service representative.

2. Handling

・ Do not attempt to remove cover. ・ When installing or removing a lens, be sure to use care that water or dust dose not enter the inside of the camera.

3. 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.

When such a scene is shot, vertical trailing will appear. However, this is not due to failure. In case strong light enters camera through the lens, partial deterioration in picture quality will result.

4. 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℃.

5. Connectors

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

wires.

6. 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. If dirts are hardened, wipe them off with cloth moistened with neutral detergent

liquid; wipe the cover with dry cloth.

・ Do not use benzene, 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.

7. Attention about laser light

Laser light may do damage to CCD. When you use laser light, be careful not to irradiate it on the CCD surface. The CCD

breakage by laser light irradiation is out of warranty. (The repair is not free of charge.)

Remote control

1. Comms* specifications ・Control system : Start-stop synchronization system ・Transmission rate : 9600 bps ・Data length : 8 bit ・Star bit : 1 bit ・Stop bit : 1 bit ・Parity : None ・Bit transfer : LSB first *Comms: Communications

2. Comms control The remote control software controls all communications. Data send/receive (BSC handshake) is by transferring TEXT data to the camera controller chip.

3. Comms procedure

The following pages indicate the camera controller chip and remote control software data protocol. In the description, the

camera is designated as slave and the software as master. ･Receive protect timer (time out error) The receive protect timer for master and slave processes is 1 second. For example, if 1 block of TEXT data is being

received, if the data interval exceeds 1 second, error is produced and the data are lost. An acknowledgment of data receipt is not produced.

Page 17

(1) Transmission from master (normal process)

① Session starts when ENQ is sent from master to slave. ② Slave acknowledges by returning ACK to master. ③ Master sends data to slave. ④ Slave acknowledges receipt of data by again returning ACK to master and end the handshake.

(2） Master reads data (normal process)

① Session starts when ENQ is sent from master to slave. ② Slave acknowledges by returning ACK to master. ③ Master sends read command to slave. ④ Slave receives read command, then acknowledges by returning ACK code to master. ⑤ Slave sends read data to master. ⑥ Master receives read data, then acknowledges by returning ACK code to slave.

(3） Data transmitted by master (control abort process)

① Master sends ENQ code to slave. ② Since ACK code cannot be sent, slave sent NACK code to master. ③ Sequence is repeated 3 times in attempts to retransmit.

After receiving the 3rd successive NACK code, communications control is aborted

(4） Data transmitted by master (data error process)

① Session starts when ENQ is sent from master to slave. ② Slave acknowledges by returning ACK to master. ③ Master sends data, but slave detect error (framing, over-run error). ④ Slave detects error and does not accept data. ⑤ Sequence 3 and 4 repeats, then master transfers normal data. ⑥ Slave detects normal data and returns ACK code to master to end the session.

(5） Data frame error (Master transmission)

① Session starts when ENQ is sent from master to slave. ② Slave acknowledges by returning ACK to master. ③ Master sends data. ④ For some reason, slave does not receive data. ⑤ Master does not receive acknowledgment to the send code and repeats the sequence every 3

seconds for 3 times.

⑥ If unsuccessful after 3 attempts, master aborts the sequence and ends communication.

times.

2. Fixed shutter mode When external trigger signal is POSITIVE, after the trigger signal rise, exposure is start. The exposure time is set by the camera electronic shutter speed. The video output is obtained immediately after the end of fixed exposure. The strobe signal start/end can be set to shutter time.

3. ONE trigger mode When external trigger signal is POSITIVE, after the trigger signal rise, exposure is start. At the trigger signal falling edge, the internal VD signal is reset and the video data are transmitted. The trigger signal width equals the exposure time.
