1. Introduction

Features

● The KY-F1030 is a digital camera employing a 1/2” CCD with 1.45 million effective pixels.

● Employment of RGB primary color filter CCD for color adjustment close to that of 3-CCD

cameras.

● Output of 1360 × 1024-pixel digital/analog video signal possible.

● Built-in DSP for real-time processing of the video signal that is output as a 7.5 frames-per-

second Y, Cb , Cr 4:2:2 digital signal enables real-time transfer to personal computer by means
of IEEE1394 host adapter.

● Using the designated scan rate converter enables display of the analog output on an SXGA­compliant monitor.

● Built-in IEEE1394 connector enables remote control from personal computer. (Software pro­vided.)

1. Introduction (continued)

Cautionary notes for the correct usage of this product

• Before recording an important event, etc., always check to mak e sure that this product is

working properly.

• We are not liable for any missed recordings caused by malfunction of this unit, etc.

 Phenomena unique to CCD

• Smearing and blooming

When using CCD to shoot a bright light source, a smearing effect may occur running a
white line vertical to the light source. In addition, a b looming eff ect ma y also occur when the
light source is extremely bright, spreading light to the source surroundings.

• Line distortion

Line and patterns may appear distorted when shot.

• White spots

White spots may appear on the screen when operating under high temperatures. Always
use the product under recommended ambient temperatures.
White spots may also appear at a slow shutter speed setting (1/8 s or higher).
To reduce this phenomenon, this product is provided with at built-in white spot compensa­tion function. ( Z page E28 White spot compensation)

 Cautionary notes

• Influence of strong electric waves and magnets

Screen noise and discolouration may occur when using the product near antennas of ra­dios and televisions or near transformers, monitors, etc. with strong magnetic force.

• Compatible lenses (  page E17 Mounting the lens)
Although the lens mount of this product is a type C mount, take caution as there are restric­tions on the lenses that can be used.

• To save electricity, turn off the system when not in use.

 Cleaning

When clean the equipment please use dry cleaning cloth or wet cleaning cloth with small
amount of alcohol.
Do not spill any liquid into KY-F1030.

 Do not install the KY-F1030 in a location where it is subject to radiation or x-ra ys or

where corrosive gasses are generated.

MEMO

• Special attention is required when mounting the unit to the wall or ceiling. Rather
than attempting to do it yourself, request a qualified person to perform such instal­lation. Falling of the unit may result in bodily injury.

• To prevent the unit from falling, connect the unit to a strong surface with a wire
chain, etc. When connecting such chain, use the br ac k et loc king scre w hole on the
side which the camera mounting bracket is not mounted.

• When mounted on top: M 2.6 × 10 mm (provided)

• When mounted on underside: M 2.6 × 6 mm

Take special caution to the length of the optional wire as well.

• For the fall-preventiv e wire , use the one with the strength that is more than 10 times
of a mass including the lens.
