1.Getting Started

Features

● Supersensitive and high-performance camera that realizes a horizontal resolution of 850 lines and F13/
2000 lx via three and a half inch CCD and 12-bit DSP processing.
Enables camera control and hence offers a wide range of uses via use of cameras for high resolution

monitoring, relay, data transmission, weddings and conventions with a swivel base.

● Miniature Camera that Employs Bayonet Mount
Employment of bayonet mount and 1/2-inch colour separation optics, and compact design through high­density mounting of the newly developed IC.

● Automatic Switching between Internal Sync/External Sync
Employs automatic switching between internal/external sync, which is useful for switching between mul­tiple cameras or system upgrade via connection with other 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.

● 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)
5 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.

● 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.

 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).
This unit comes with the white spot correction feature that helps to reduce this phenomenon.
☞ Page 26

 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 14 ‘Mounting the Lens’

Lens mount of this unit makes use of bayonet mount and there are restrictions on the type of lens to
be used.
Pay attention to their performance and dimensions when lenses other than those specified are used.

• 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.
