Letter box system implemented into
GY-DV5000 is simply masking the
upper and lower part of 4:3 picture
by black signal.
The DSP implemented into KY-F560
allows to convert 4:3 picture to 16:9
ratio electronically.
But, the vertical resolution of
squeezed 16:9 picture deteriorates
compared to the original 4:3 picture.

Power supply

and PT levers

Menu setting

indication

Shutter mode

Power is supplied via exclusive multi core cable from
AC adapter. The connector of this cable is reliable with
lock mechanism and easy to connect and disconnect.

The style of levers for Zoom, Focus and Pan/Tilt are
different each other and is easy to operate
ergonomically.
Menu cannot be adjusted from remote controller, but it
is possible to set locally without any restriction.

Optional tally is located at the top of PTZ and is large
and visible from every direction regardless of the
position of camera. Tally signal line is included in the
multi core cable and no necessary to connect another
line.
Shutter modes can be selected from controller except
1/100(120) mode.

Power is supplied via simple twist pair cable from AC
adapter. But, this cable looks cheap and is unreliable
without any connector and is recommended to be fixed
by soldering.

The style of levers for Zoom, Focus and Pan/Tilt is
completely identical and easy to misoperate.

Menu cannot be adjusted from remote controller.
Moreover, if remote interface cable is connected, it
also does not work. In order to set menu locally, it is
necessary to provide power from another AC adapter.
It is very incovenient.

Provided tallies are located at the front and back of
PTZ. But, both are too small and may not be visible
when the camera covers it. And, it is required to
connect another lines.

Shutter select items are 1/100(120) and EEL only from
controller.

[ NOTE ]

•This mode is to control a KY-F550 remotely via IEEE 1394.
Displaying the image from the KY-F550, snapshot or
operating a DVR is not allowed.

•During this mode, connect the video signal from KY-F550 to

SDK documentation for KY-F550

The SDK(Software Developers’ Kit) is available for the developers who
will integrate KY-F550 into their original system.
The sample application is also provided with this SDK.

SDK user will be not end users of KY-F550 but the developers or the
system integrators who are selling the system with KY-F550.
The users of the sample application will be the same. Therefore, the
purpose of the sample application is to show the example of application of

Ver1.1

the SDK usage. The priority of design is how easy to read source code
rather than how easy to operate application.

The SDK for KY-F550 consists of “Kyf550Ctrl” component and
“KyAviViewer” component and the sample application will be prepared
for every component.

Removable IR Cut Filter

In case of 1CCD camera, light will be
separated to RGB signals by on-chip filter
on the CCD. One pixel consists of R x 1, B x
1, G x 2.
Therefore, this filter cannot be removed
and the sensitivity of R channel is one
fourth.

In case of 3CCD, light will be separated to

Ver1.1

IR Cut Filter

RGB signals by prism and the CCD consists
of monochrome. In order to cut IR(Infra
Red) light, the filter is implemented before
the prism. This is so-called “IR cut filter”.
This “IR cut filter” on the KY-F550 can be
removed and changed to the dummy filter
consisting of transparent glass. As a result,
the sensitivity at the range of IR will be
dramatically increased. This picture is
monochrome.

Removable IR Cut Filter

The IR cut filter is built in the lens in some optical equipments and switched.
Therefore, color picture acquisition or high sensitive monochrome
acquisition can be possible with the KY-F550 with the dummy filter
consisting of transparent glass.

Auto shading compensation
system is to compensate the
white shading near the border of
two pictures occurred by
interference automatically.
This system works to adjust the
parameter of shading
automatically to equalize the
APL of area “A” and area”B” in
each RGB channels.

A<B:To increase parameter
A>B:To decrease parameter
A=B:Not to change parameter(based on the same judgment system with AW)

After finishing operation, the message will appear on screen.
OK:Completed
Low light/Over light:Same condition with AW detection
Object:When the deviation between max value and minimum value of APL of each block in
each channel of each A and B area is more than 5%. Or, when it cannot be detected even if
parameter was set to maximum value or minimum value.

For verifying the image of an object detected.
If the trigger signal for the object detected is input, 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.
The method of SYNC non-reset mode allows camera timing to be output
irrespective of trigger input signal.

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 taken under low light condition.
The maximum accumulation timing is up till 240(NTSC)/200(PAL)
frames.(approx 8 sec)

Note:Please use the manual iris mode. Noise may increase when the number of frames increases, as such, set to an appropriate value.
