SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This equipment is in conformity with the provisions and protection requirements of the corresponding European Directives. This equipment is designed for professional video appliances
and can be used in the following environments:
5 Residential (including both of the location type class 1 and 2 found in IEC 1000-2-5)
5 Commercial and light industrial (including, for example, theatres)
5 Urban outdoors (based on the definition of location type class 6 in IEC 1000-2-5)
In order to keep the best performance and furthermore for electromagnetic compatibility we
recommend to use cables not exceeding the following lengths:
5 Where there are strong electromagnetic waves or magnetism, for example near a radio or TV
transmitter, transformer, motor, etc., the picture and sound may be disturbed. In such a case,
please keep the apparatus away from the sources of the disturbance.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE
THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.
This unit should be used with 12 V DC
only.
CAUTION:
To prevent electric shocks and fire
hazards, do NOT use any other power
source.
Note:
The rating plate (serial number plate) is on the
bottom of the unit.
CAUTION
To prevent electric shock, do not open the
cabinet. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer
servicing to qualified service personnel.

1. Getting Started
Features
● High quality images can be obtained through high sensitivity of 2000 lx (F11) and high resolution of
horizontal resolution at 800 lines via the newly developed 12-bit DSP.
● Miniature and Lightweight Camera that Employs C Mount
Employment of C mount and 1/3-inch colour separation optics, and compact design through high-density
mounting of the newly developed IC.
● Equipped with D-SUB terminal
Multiple types of output signals which include RGB, Y/C, composite video and composite sync signal
enable this unit to be connected directly to various types of device.
● Equipped with DV Terminal
Digital video signals can be sent to IEEE 1394 compliant devices.
● EBU-compliant Built-in Colour Bars Generator
Colour monitor can be adjusted with ease with the use of EBU colour bars.
● Variable Scan Shutter
Eliminates flicker when shooting screen pictures other than PAL, such as computer screens.
● Slow shutter
Accumulate up to 200 frames of image (approximately 8 seconds). Boosts the brightness of images during shooting for objects with insufficient illumination and little motion.
● Equipped with White Shading Function
Corrects colour shading triggered by optical characteristics.
● Black Stretch/Black Compress Feature
Stretches or compresses the gain of the dark section in an image to adjust the tone of that section.
● Negative
Used for special purposes such as shooting using films.
● AE (Automatic Exposure)
6 selectable modes in the AE area that are useful when there is a difference in brightness between the
object and its surroundings. In addition, exposure settings can also be performed according to shooting
conditions via selection of AE level adjustment or photometry detection.
● Random Trigger Correction Feature
Fast moving objects can be shot with triggering input timing.
● Freeze Correction Feature
Still images (frozen images) of the camera can be captured with triggering input timing.
● Built-in White Spot Correction Feature
● Equipped with Remote Terminal
Supports remote control via the remote control unit (sold separately).
E-6
Points to Note During Use
● For important shootings, perform trials in advance to ensure that they are properly recorded.
● We will not compensate for contents lost due to the malfunction of this unit.
䡵 Characteristic CCD Phenomena
● Smear and Blooming
When shooting a bright light source, the CCD may induce white streaks (smear) in the vertical direction
of the light source. When the light source is extremely bright, light of the surroundings may expand
(blooming).
● Aliasing
Note that a jagged effect may occur when shooting striped patterns or lines.
● White spot
Operating this unit under a high temperature may give rise to white spots in the image. Ensure to use
this unit within the specified range (–5˚C to 40˚C). White spots may also appear when set to slow
shutter.
This unit comes with the white spot correction feature that helps to reduce this phenomenon.
☞ Page 28
䡵 Precautions During Handling
● Strong Electromagnetic Waves or Magnetism
When placed near radios or TV transmitters, or transformers and monitors that emit strong magnetism,
noise or colour change may occur in the image. Ensure that this unit is kept away from the above
during use.
● Compatible Lens ☞ Page 17 ‘Mounting the Lens’
Lens mount of this unit makes use of C mount and there are restrictions on the type of lens to be used.
Pay attention to their performance, dimensions, length of the screw portion when lenses other than
those specified are used.
This unit is not equipped with back focus adjustment function. If zoom len is to be used, please use
only lens which are equipped with back focus function.
● Cleaning the Body of this Unit (Turn off the power before cleaning.)
Wipe using a soft cloth.
Do not wipe with thinner or benzene. These may corrode or tarnish the surface.
When it is extremely dirty, wipe using a neutral detergent diluted with water, follow by wiping with a
dry cloth.
● When not in use, turn off the power of the system to reduce power consumption.
● Do not mount unit at locations that emit radiation, X-rays or corrosive gases.
