Thank you for purchasing the

DZ-VCA1SE MICRO HD CAMERA.

● Compact, lightweight design

Thanks to the incorporation of 1/3-inch CCDs, the
camera head's outer dimensions have been reduced
to a compact 59 (W) x 70 (H) x 79 (D) mm and its
weight to only 230 g.

(1/3 the volume and 1/6 the weight of an ordinary HD

camera) The CCU (camera control unit) can be
mounted in a standard EIA 19-inch rack (2-unit size).

● High resolution

A total of four NTSC 1/3-inch CCDs are used (2 for G
and one each for R and B). Utilizing a newly-devel­oped 4-CCD dual green system and digital signal
processing, this camera is able to produce extremely
high horizontal resolution of more than 800 TV lines
and vertical resolution of more than 650 TV lines
(approx. twice that of NTSC). The aspect ratio is 4:3.

● System construction

HDTV studio standard (compliant with ITU-R Rec.

709) sync signals are used, allowing recorded picture
to be played back with high picture quality when an
HDTV VCR such as the W-VHS VCR is used.
A cost-effective, high-picture-quality system can be
configured using a multi-scan computer monitor.

● Automatic sensitivity control

The automatic sensitivity control combines automatic

sensitivity control with ALC and electronic iris (ALC +
EEI) to allow trouble-free shooting under lighting
conditions ranging from low to high intensity.

● Electronic shutter function

A built-in 1/2000-sec. electronic shutter function
allows capture and analysis of fast-moving subjects.

● Flicker-free mode

Greatly reduces the flickering caused by shooting
under a fluorescent lamp in locations using 50-Hz
cycles.

● Colour bar generator

A full colour bar generator is built in for easy system
adjustment.

● Switchable positive/negative signal

Signals can be inverted with a switch, allowing

conversion of a negative film to a positive picture.

● Automatic internal/external sync switching

Useful for systematic operations, such as multi-

camera video processing, in combination with other
devices.

● 2H contour provided as standard

Contour compensation is performed both horizontally

and vertically to assure sharp, clear pictures.

• JVC cannot be responsible for any loss or
damage to recorded material in the event
that the colour video camera, VCR, or video
cassette malfunctions during recording.

●When the SHUTTER switch 1 is set to [ON]

• Press the SHUTTER [UP] button 2 to decrease the
shutter speed.

• Press the SHUTTER [DOWN] button 2 to increase
the shutter speed.

Shutter speeds from 1/2000 to 1/30 sec. are avail-

able.

Usually shutter speed is not stored. If you want to
store it, set the shutter speed and then, switch a
cycle of change from [ON] to [OFF] of the 1 MENU
switch on page 16 in spite of the initial position.

●When the SHUTTER switch 1 is set to [OFF]
The shutter speed is fixed at 1/60 sec.

●When the SHUTTER switch 1 is set to [V. SCAN]

Set the shutter speed to match the scanning speed of

a computer monitor. When shooting a monitor, fine­adjust the shutter speed to eliminate bright and dark
bars running horizontally. When the shutter speed is
faster than 1/60 sec., it is possible to fine adjust it with
the SHUTTER [UP]/[DOWN] buttons 2.

2 SHUTTER UP/DOWN buttons

Flicker-free mode

Prevents flickering caused by fluorescent lighting in a
50-Hz area.
When the shutter speed is set to 1/100 sec. (Flicker-free
mode), flickering is eliminated.

• When looking at the picture on the monitor during
the use of the electronic shutter, the movement of
the subject may appear discontinuous. This
phenomenon occurs because the picture for
1/2000 sec. is taken out every 1/60 sec.

(e.g.: Shutter speed of 1/2000 sec.)

• When the shutter speed is set to 1/2000 sec., the
charge storage time of the CCD image sensing
device is reduced to approx. 1/32. As a result, the
sensitivity is 1/32 that for the ordinary normal mode
(1/60 sec.) and the light is insufficient.
When shooting, increase the illumination by a
factor of 32 or open the lens iris by 5 if sufficient
light is available to obtain the optimum exposure.

• As the shutter speed in the V. SCAN mode is not
displayed, set the speed by viewing the picture so
that a stable picture can be obtained.

When the SHUTTER switch 1 is set to [OFF] or
the gain control section is set to [ALC+EEI], the
SHUTTER [UP]/[DOWN] buttons 2 have no effect.

Remove the Isolation Transformer from the shipping
container and inspect it for shipping damage. Do not
install or operate the product if it appears to be damaged
in any way. If damaged, notify the carrier and seller
immediately.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

This Isolation Transformer has environmental require­ments similar to other medical devices. It has been
designed for indoor use only, in areas where it will not be
exposed to excessive dust or moisture. Make certain that
there is adequate air flow around the unit. Do not place

Observe that the front-panel green LED is illuminated.
Observe that the red LED (marked ) is not illuminated
(place the Isolation Transformer on a non-grounded
surface such as a carpet, wooden table, or magazine for
this test).

CAUTION:

If the red LED is continuously flashing, the wall receptacle
(powering the Isolation Transformer) is not connected to
the system safety ground. Immediately contact an electri­cian to correct the wiring discrepancy.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The red LED is not intended to test general wiring integ­rity. Hot-neutral reversal, neutral-ground reversal, and/or
other wiring errors will not illuminate the red LED.
