Outline and features
The V-21W / V-21 is a new concept 2/3-inch 600,000 / 620,000 Pixel CCD camera that stresses fundamental camera performance.
Advanced functions are realized by the new single chip digital signal processor that improves gradation response, color reproducibility and perceived resolution. The DSP is fully digitized from processor to encoder and incorporates a built-in noise reducing function.
The design fully comprehends the needs of on-site camerawork, with a rugged diecast frame that is light, has a low center of gravity and is convenient to operate.
Premier Performance Starring the Hitachi V-21W / V-21 Digital Camera.
Outstanding Features
■Resolution
Horizontal resolution of 750 / 900 TV lines is achieved by the 2/3 inch 600,000 / 620,000 pixel CCDs with microlenses and digital double speed signal processing circuit.
■Switchable 16:9 / 4:3 (V-21W only)
The aspect vatio is switchable between 16:9 and 4:3
to provide broad freedom for program production. Picture quality is also preserved by using digital system.
■Newly crafted DSP
Hitachi's pinnacle holding LSI technology combines the entire system from processor to encoder into a single chip to even further reduce the size and power consumption, while enhancing stability.
The 10 bit A/D converter and 13 to 18 bit processor promote high S/N and wide dynamic range.
■ Signal to noise ratio
An S/N rating of 63 dB is attained by adding low noise circuit technology to a newly developed digital noise reduction circuit. Even at high gain, clear low noise images can be obtained.
■ Sensitivity (standard 2000 lux, F11)
High gain (+24 dB) and Ultra-Gain (+12 dB) can be combined for up to +36 dB gain increase. Operation is enabled down to 0.5 lux (F1.4) and
0.8 lux (F1.8).
■Setup card
Camera setup data can be saved to a setup card (Compact Flash) and recalled when required. Flexibility is offered to meet a wide assortment of scene environments.
■Versatile CCD drive functions
●Preset type 5-step electronic shutter speeds.
●Lock Scan to image computer monitors without flicker.
●Auto electronic shutter (AES) mode for maintaining a fixed video level.
●CC frame mode for improved vertical resolution.
■Better picture quality from digital processing
●Highlight chroma and auto knee
Color reproduction of highly luminous signals is improved by the highlight chroma circuit, while auto knee automatically compresses high luminosity signals. These add up to wide dynamic range.
●Flesh tone detail
Smoothed and softened complexion flatters the talent without sacrificing overall scene detail
●Variable detail boost frequency
The center frequency of the detail compensation signal is variable to allow selecting the proper signal to match the scene.
●6-vector and linear matrix
Full colorimetry control is built in with linear matrix compensation for color reproduction plus independently variable hue and saturation for six colors to provide wide latitude for subjective expression
●Special gamma
Adjusts the gamma rising gain to improve reproduction of dark scene components.
●Flare compensation

Note when using
NOTE
**********CCD characteristic phenomena**********
The following types of phenomena are innate characteristics of a charge coupled device (CCD) and are not malfunctions. Be aware of these when using a CCD camera for broadcast or other demanding applications.
Smear
When a bright object is picked up, thin trails appear above and below the image. The effect is more pronounced at high electronic shutter speeds.
Fixed pattern
When operate at high temperature, a fixed pattern (vertical stripes, white dots)
can appear. The pattern is more easily seen when the camera sensitivity is raised.

Lens installation
1.Raise the lens lever and remove the mount cap.
2.Align the lens center mark with the indent at the upper part of the lens mount and install the lens
● Refer to the lens instructions when using the lens. Notes:
The following adjustments may be required according to the type of lens.
1 Lens flangeback
2 Lens auto iris speed
3 Lens white shading (with camera)
3.Lower the lens lever to secure the lens.
4.Engage the cable with the cable clamp and connect it to the lens connector.
13
Lens flangeback adjustment
When operating a zoom lens, if the focus is not precisely aligned at both the telephoto and wide angle extremes of the lens, the flangeback (distance from the lens mounting plane to the focal plane) is adjusted. This adjustment is generally required only once unless the lens is replaced.
Reference
Refer to the lens operating instructions regarding the component positions for flangeback adjustment.
Flangeback adjustment
1.Set the lens iris for manual operation.
2.Open the iris. Set a flangeback adjusting chart about 3 meters distant and adjust the lighting to obtain the correct video output level. If the video level is too high, use a CC/ND filter or electronic shutter.
3.Loosen the Ff ring setscrew.
4.By hand or motor, set the zoom ring to the telephoto position.
5. Observe the flangeback chart image and
turn the distance ring to adjust the focus.
6.Set the zoom ring to the wide angle position.
7.Turn the Ff ring and adjust the focus. Use care not to turn the distance ring.
8.Repeat this process until focus is obtained at both telephoto and wide angle settings.
9.Securely tighten the Ff ring setscrew. ● Also, see the lens operating instructions.
14
White shading adjustment
White shading adjustment is recommended after replacing the lens. The adjustment relates to the camera vertical coloration. If the lens includes an extender, the shading can be optimized for both extender on and off modes.
(Vertical coloration refers to an effect whereby the image of an overall white sheet of paper tends toward green at the top and magenta at the bottom, or vice versa.)
Adjustment steps
1.Install the lens on the camera (be sure to connect the lens cable).
2.Set the electronic shutter to off and the gain to L (0 dB).
3.If provided, set the lens extender to off.
4.Notice that flicker can occur with fluorescent or mercury lighting. Therefore, use sunlight or halogen as the light source.
In the auto iris mode, check that the iris is between F4 and F11. If necessary, adjust the light source position (be sure the electronic shutter is off).
