1. Introduction
Features
● This digital camera uses three 1.45 million pixel 1/2 inch IT CDD.
● Newly developed 1/2 inch C mount Dichroic prism for the color separation prism.
● Capable of recording semi-animation (7.5 frames per second) and still images at resolution of
1360 × 1024 pixels.
● Image capturing capability using a capture board since video signals are processed in realtime by the built-in DSP and outputted as RGN analog signals of 7.5 frames/sec.
● Monitor output can be scan-converted to 640 × 480 pixels for output to a VGA monitor.
● 30 frame/sec. output capability to even a VGA real-time monitor (Draft mode).
@@@@@@
● Output digital still images to an MO drive or recommended printer using SCSI connection.
● Export digital still images to a PC using SCSI connection.
● Remotely control your PC using RS-232C connection.

Synchronizing flash and FREEZE
To activate the flash when inputting FREEZE, use the REMOTE terminal.
The REMOTE terminal located in the rear is also used to freeze an image using an external
device other than the FREEZE button on the rear of the main unit.
Explanation of terminals ( Z page 12)
● In response to FREEZE input, KY-F70 outputs a flash signal for the CCD accumulation period
of the next frame.
● The time required for flash output from FREEZE input depends on the timing of the FREEZE
@@@@@@
input and shutter speed. In addition, the pulse length of the flash output differs depending on
the shutter speed.
● The slow shutter will also be used when the unit is in the SXGA mode or FINE mode of the
VGA mode with shutter speed of 1/7.5 sec. or slower, or when in the DRAFT mode of the VGA
mode with shutter speed of 1/30 sec. or slower.
● Since the above diagram is the timing chart when in the SXGA mode, CCD OUT and ANALOG OUT are synchronous. However, the timing of ANALOG OUT will be asynchronous with
CCD OUT when in the VGA mode and there will also be no WEN output.
● When in the VGA mode, FREEZE input is ignored until the FREEZE screen is completely
displayed on the monitor.
● Even for the SXGA mode, FREEZE input f or continuous frames are not recognized and FREEZE
input interval for high speed shutters also require a minimum of 2 frames (270ms).
● When the FREEZE cancel mode is set to MANUAL, the FREEZE input for FREEZE cancellation will not output a FLASH signal or WEN.

About ALC and EEI operations
ALC refers to Automatic Level Control and EEI refers to shutter iris control.
The Automatic Lev el Control (ALC) oper ates under dark lighting and the electronic shutter (EEI)
operates under bright lighting. Furthermore, setting the IRIS mode to AUTO will synchronize
sensitivity, iris and electronic shutter and appropriate signal level can be acquired automatically
at all times.
The ALC mode increases sensitivity from 0dB (ISO100) to +12dB (ISO400) under dark lighting
and the EEI mode automatically adjusts the electronic shutter within the range of 1/7.5 to 1/
255.1 (calculated value) when in FINE under bright lighting (1/30.2 to 1/255.1 for DRAFT). In
other words, the signal lev el is adjusted in the range of 2 g raduations of the aperture under dark
lighting and 5 graduations when in FINE under bright lighting. When the iris is set to manual, the
sensitivity and electronic shutter are continuously changed without changing the iris setting.
This feature holds the advantage of being ab le to record under changing light conditions without
changing the depth of field.
