Before using the camera, please read this operation manual carefully and
keep this manual on file for ready reference in the future.
Hitachi’s camera KP-HD20A is HD-SDI interface one
which support Full HD.
High definition
・They are high definition and wide viewing angle because
it is full HD.
・Low delay HD video signal and long-distance transmission
(at the time of multiunit connection)
High sensitivity
・1/3 type high sensitivity MOS sensor has made 0.2lux
high sensitivity.
High functioning
・Full HD and double shutter WDR function
・1080/30fps double shutter WDS function.
Coaxial superposition
・A simple system configuration is possible by one cable
connection.

* Actual distance changes with cable, connector, temperature, etc, because transmission distance is actual measurement
by sample cables.
* We recommend using cable of 7C-FB or 5C-FB at the time of using HD-SDI mode, because 7C-2V, 5C-2V and 3C-2V
are not guaranteed to support high-frequency signal transmission of HD-SDI mode.

Lens selection
1) Dimension A) of lens installation part should be according to
the figure below. When the lens with dimention more than the
following size is installed, the internal damage of camera may
occur.
2) Please do not install a lens which is heavier than the camera
body. In case of using such lens, please fix the lens to the
installation stand.
Caution
Use of heavy lens may damage the camera because of
unbalance.

Flange back adjustment
Flange back adjustment is needed after installation of lens or in
cases where focus cannot be obtained by normal lens focus
operation and focus is lost at the wide angle settings of a zoom
lens.
In such cases, open the lens iris (refer to page 9) and adjust as
follows.
1) Fixed focus lens
Set the lens focus ring to infinity and pickup a camera subject
at least 20 meters distant. Loosen the lens mount setscrews
(2 screws) and turn the lens and lens mount ring to adjust the
focus. After adjusting, tighten the lens mount setscrews.
2) Varifocal and Zoom lens
1) Set the lens to maximum telephoto and pickup a camera
subject at least 20 meters distant. Loosen the lens mount
setscrews (2 screws) and turn the focus ring to adjust the
focus while using care not to turn the lens and lens mount
ring.
2) Set the lens to maximum wide angle and pickup the same
camera subject. While using care not to turn the lens focus
ring, turn the lens and lens mount ring to adjust the focus.
Repeat these steps until focus is obtained at both telephoto
and wide angle settings. After adjusting, tighten the lens
mount setscrews.
※ The flange back adjustment can adjust C~CS mount range.
※ The angle of view is adjusted by turning the lens zoom ring.
Note
KP-HD20A camera has strucuture that user can change lenses.
Therefore dust may adhere to the CCD or the optical filter unit
depending on environmental conditions where lens are attached
to this camera. If you use this camera under the bright outdoor
conditions, dust may be seen depending on the aperture of lens
In such cases we recommend that you use AES & LENS mode.

Note
If an auto iris lens is used and the object distance is less
than few meters, due to focus length of lens, slight blurring
can occur at certain iris positions.
In such case, please refer to page 9[Lens open setting]
and set the lens to full open. At this time, AES is operated.
Auto Electric Shutter (AES)
AES is a function to automatically adjust the electronic
shutter speed according to the amount of incident light
and keeps the image level constant.
