White Spot Correction

As a peculiar common characteristic of CCD, white spots may appear on the screen when it is operated under high temperature or when shutter speed is prolonged during use. This unit comes with a white spot correction feature to reduce this phenomenon.

How To Use

䡵 Detection of White Spots

The quantity and size of white spots differ with the temperature and shutter speed during use. Before using the white spot correction feature, it will thus be necessary to detect the position of the white spots under the conditions of use.

Notes

● The white spot correction feature of this unit does not correct all white spots. Detection and correction of

white spots by this unit is performed under the following conditions. White spot correction will not be performed under conditions beyond those stated. In cases where conditions are fulfilled, correction may not be successfully performed depending on the nature of the white spots. In such case, perform the detection again until white spots are detected. Consult your JVC authorized dealer if white spots cannot be corrected. Quantity of Detection/Correction: 32 or less

● The screen on the right may be displayed during detection of white spots

in cases when light enters the CCD during detection or depending on the condition of white spots. In this case, check if there is light entering the CCD.

● During white spot correction, pixel data is obtained via interpolation of

pixel information from the surroundings. Thus data may not be accurate for fine images.

● Results of white spot detection will be stored until the next detection is

performed.

● During white spot detection, operation via the remote control will be dis-

abled.

Technical Information

 Slow Shutter Function

To brighten the images taken in dark places etc. This function is not achieved through the method of increasing gain electronically. It is accomplished by accumulating charges stored in the CCD imaging device. In addition, by lengthening the duration for accumulating charges, more charges could be stored in the CCD and hence allowing high sensitivity images to be taken under low lighting condition. The maximum accumulation timing is up till 240 frames (approx. 8 seconds).

WEN output signal

Caution

● Normal image level cannot be used under the auto iris mode. Please use the manual iris mode.

● Noise may increase when the number of frames increases, as such, set to an appropriate value.

 Random Trigger Function

For verifying the image of a fast moving object detected. If the trigger signal for the object detected is input, charges will start to accumulate in the CCD imaging device at the camera. The accumulated charges will be output following the next SYNC signal while simultaneously, the SI signal will be output as well, hence allowing the images to be stored in the memory.
