1. Introduction

Features

● This digital camera uses three 1.45 million pixel 1/2 inch 3-CCD.

● Newly developed 1/2 inch C mount Dichroic prism for the colour separation prism.

● The semi-animation of 1360 × 1024 pixels can be output with analog signal (7.5 frames/sec-

ond) and the still picture of 1360 × 1024 pixels can be captured.

● Image capturing capability using a capture board since video signals are processed in real­time by the built-in DSP and outputted as RGB analog signals of 7.5 frames/sec.

● Monitor output can be scan-converted to 640 × 480 pixels for output to a VGA monitor.

● Using the provided special application software [KY-SCSI] allows connection of a personal

computer via SCSI connection for remote control, display of preview image and capture of still
images.

● Output digital still images to an MO drive, Zip
tion.

● Remotely control your PC using RS-232C connection. (software not included)

Cautionary notes for the correct usage of this product

• Before recording an important event, etc., always check to make sure that this product is

working properly.

• We are not liable for any missed recordings caused by malfunction of this unit, etc.

 Phenomena unique to CCD

• Smearing and blooming

When using CCD to record a bright light source, a smearing effect may occur running a
white line vertical to the light source. In addition, a blooming effect may also occur when the
light source is extremely bright, spreading light to the source surroundings.

• Line distortion

Line and patterns may appear distorted when recorded.

• White spots

White spots may appear on the screen when operating under high temperatures. Always
use the product under recommended ambient temperatures.
White spots may also appear at a slow shutter speed setting (1/8 s or higher).
To reduce this phenomenon, this product is provided with at built-in white spot compensa­tion function. (  page 34)

 Cautionary notes

• Influence of strong electric waves and magnets

Screen noise and discolouration may occur when using the product near antennas of ra­dios and televisions or near transformers, monitors, etc. with strong magnetic force.

• Compatible lenses (  page 17 Mounting the lens)
Although the lens mount of this product is a type C mount, take caution as there are restric­tions on the lenses that can be used.
This product is not equipped with a back-focus adjustment feature. Please use a lens
equipped with the back-focus adjustment feature.

• To save electricity, turn off the system when not in use.

 Cleaning

When clean the equipment please use dry cleaning cloth or wet cleaning cloth with small

Inserting the lithium battery

The lithium battery is used to back up the time and date data.
Install the lithium battery (CR2025) before using the unit.
Replace the battery once two year.
If the BATTERY EMPTY message appears when turning on the power, replace the battery with
a fresh lithium battery.

MEMO

• The time and date will not be displayed correctly when the battery is not installed. When replacing the
lithium battery, reset the time and date.

Setting the time and date (  page 26)

• A BATTERY EMPTY message will appear immediately after replacing the battery and turning on the
power. This is not a malfunction. If the message continuously appears after turning on the power the
second time, consult your JVC dealer.

• The BATTERY EMPTY message will not appear when turning on the power immediately after turning
off the unit. Wait at least 20 seconds before turning the power back on.

E16

Mounting the lens

Follow the procedure shown below when mounting an auto-iris lens. For further details, see the
instruction manual of the lens and lens remote control.

CAUTION

• Perform mounting of the lens with the power of the camera turned OFF. Mounting with the power on
could result in damage.

• Lens is not included with this unit.
To avoid damaging the main unit, make sure that the lens mount of the lens to be
used is 4mm or less.

To mount the lens, lightly press the thread section of the lens mount onto the thread section
of the main unit, then turn the mount clamp ring slowly clockwise until it is securely tight­ened.

MEMO

To change the position of the lens rotation:

햲 First, turn the mount clamp ring counterclockwise (1/4 turns) with the lens facing you.
햳 Slowly turn the lens and after adjusting the position, retighten the mount clamp ring.

3.

Insert the camera cable of the lens into the lens connection terminal on the rear of the main
unit, then securely lock.
The iris control is made automatically from the camera.
When using a manual iris lens, set the IRIS MODE to MANUAL (  page 50).

4.

When using the lens remote control, connect the lens control cable (female) to the remote
control.

When operating the lens iris manually by lens remote control connection, set IRIS MODE to
manual. (  page 50)
