12 Trouble Shooting

12.1 Possible troubles during system initialization

A No image output

1 Reboot Camera and CCU as a whole system.

B Noise on image output. There are three ways to perform trouble shooting.

Try the following three measures.

1 Press ABB button on OCP.
2 If 1 does not solve the problem, reboot Camera and CCU as a whole system.

3 If 2 does not solve the problem, change the setting of FRAME RATE、SENSITIVITY、COLOR

TEMP etc. temporarily to see if the problem will be solved, and set it back to the previous
settings if solved.

C CCU repeats booting

1 Disconnect the GENLOCK signal. When the System Format and the GENLOCK signal are not

identical, the system does not boot up correctly when the GENLOCK signal is in. Check both
are identical first as you disconnect the GENLOCK signal after the system is initialized.

2 At normal mode when the System Format and the GENLOCK signal are identical, the system

does the second BOOTING… because the system first initializes with internal signal and then
initializes with external signal by recognizing GENLOCK signal.

3 When the Camera System Format is at 1080/50i or 720/59.94p, there will be BOOTING… for

two time after initialization, but this is not a failure. This is because Hi-MotionII first initializes
with 1080/59.94i then changes to the selected format after the system check.

D Screen Burn-In

1 Close the lens iris and press ABB button.

The lens iris automatically closed by pressing ABB button when the lens cable is properly
connected to the Camera.

12.2 Noise from Intercom on CCU
If you hear noise from the Intercom of CCU, check the following setting.

1 Turn ON LENS SERIAL I/F on the Camera Head ( MENU (2/2) > LENS SELECT > LENS

SERIAL I / F ).

2 Turn ON a serial communication switch of a box lens.

56

13 Precautions when using SHED-HDX. Systems of Telecast Fiber Systems, Inc.

13.1 Setup

A Hi-MotionII supports SHED-HDX. Systems of Telecast Fiber Systems, Inc. for IKEGAMI system.
B Set up and connect all the necessary cables according to its User Manual.
C Open the front panel of CCU and find AUX board. There are two red switches in the front part of AUX

board and set the one of the switch at upper part as “SINGLE MODE ON”.

13.2 Order turn on the power
When using the SHED-HDX. Systems, you can turn on the power of either the CCU or the

Camera Head first but check the following notes.

・ CCU : Turn ON both MAIN POWER switch and HEAD POWER switch on the front panel of CCU. As well as the

process without the SHED-HDX. Systems, HEAD POWER switch must be turned ON. When the switch is OFF, the
Camera Head does not boot up even if turning ON the power on the Camera Head side.

・ Camera :

Either the Camera Head or the SHED-HDX. Systems can be turned ON first.

13.3 Precautions

A When the system is powered on as SINGLE MODE switch on the AUX board is off, it starts to show

“alert” on Picture Monitors and OCP.
In this case, set the SINGLE MODE switch on the AUX board On, then reboot CCU so the “alert”

disappears.

B Depending on the timin g, it i s p oss ibl e that the Camera contr o l c anno t b e re cog niz ed as sh o wing “OFF

LINE” on the Slow Controller display. In this case, reboot the Slwo Controller first.
If it boots up prop er ly , Time Code is displ ay ed on the Slow Contr oll er. If it does not work, please reboot

all the system including the CCU.
