Introduction

Request

This unit is shipped with the frame frequency set to 59.94 Hz. Follow the procedure on page 7 to change the frame frequency to match the region of use.

This unit is a studio handy camera that supports the 1080i format. Combined use with Panasonic's peripheral equipment Camera Control Unit AKHCU200/S and Remote Operation Panel AK-HRP200G enables you to build an optical transmission studio camera system with high image quality capable of uncompressed long-distance transmission at a low cost. It uses a 2/3-type 2.2-megapixel IT-CCD imaging device in conjunction with a newly-developed 16-bit A/D digital signal processing circuit to achieve higher sensitivity than conventional cameras. Furthermore, it includes new functions such as CAC (chromatic aberration compensation function to compensate the chromatic aberration of the magnification of a lens) and scan reverse (a function to compensate the reverse video when using an anamorphic lens and film lens), in addition to multi-functionality, high quality, and improved stable operability that can be achieved only by digital processing.

1080i, 2.2-megapixel CCDs employed

• The standard sensitivity is F11 (F12 with 50 Hz). High sensitivity is also achieved. Furthermore, it can operate at 1080i (50 Hz/59.94 Hz switchable).

Digital signal processing with a 16-bit A/D converter

• A 16-bit A/D converter with a sampling frequency of 74 MHz converts the video signals into digital signals to reproduce fine and high quality images.

Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC) function

• This unit is equipped with a function to compensate the chromatic aberration of the magnification of a lens caused by the fact that the refractive index of a lens varies with the wavelength of light (hereinafter referred to as the chromatic aberration). The chromatic aberration of the magnification is caused by the differences in the red (R), green (G), and blue (B) refractive indexes of a lens. The lens itself corrects chromatic aberration but it remains, in particular, in the surrounding area. Furthermore, the zooming ratio, iris, and focal distance have a complicated relationship with this chromatic aberration in the case of a zoom lens. Images have registration errors.

B G R

Using this function enables the chromatic aberration around the lens to be compensated and high quality video signals to be obtained. However, a lens supporting chromatic aberration compensation must be used.

Digital extender function

• This function extends the image to twice its original size in the digital signal processing circuit. It enables shooting at a higher magnification. This function can be assigned to the assignable switches <USER 1, 2, and 3> and the external return control switches 1, 2, and 3.

Film-like gamma function

• In order to facilitate obtaining film tone in VariCam (AJ-HDC27 series), this unit is equipped with FILM-REC gamma that is almost equivalent to VariCam.

DRS (Dynamic Range Stretcher) function

• With this function, the dynamic range can be extended by compressing video signal levels in a high-brightness area while maintaining contrast to prevent blown out highlights that may occur in normal shooting situations.

Optical digital transmission

• High-quality uncompressed digital transmission is made possible by connecting this unit to a camera control unit (CCU) with an optical fiber multi cable. Furthermore, prompter and return signals input into the CCU can be output from the camera.

Connect an audio device or microphone to this connector. The gain

setting can be selected on the camera menu.

The power for the microphone is supplied from this connector,

enabling use of a phantom or AB powered microphone. Set the power

for a microphone after connecting the microphone.

23. External power supply input connector <DC IN>

Connect the input of the external DC power supply to this connector. (10.8 V to 17 V DC)

<Note>

• Inrush current occurs when the power of this unit is turned on.

Insufficient power supply capacity at power on may cause a failure. It is recommended to use an external DC power supply with a capacity that is at least double the total power consumption of this unit and components (viewfinder, etc.) whose power is turned on when the power of this unit is turned on. For the DC cable, use a 2-core shielded cable with a core cross section equivalent to or larger than AGW18 (nominal cross section 0.824 mm

• When using the external DC power supply, be sure to turn ON the

camera power switch <POWER> of the external DC power supply and then turn ON the camera power switch <POWER> of this unit. If you turn on the power in reverse sequence, the output voltage of the external DC power supply rises slowly so this unit may malfunction.

• Check the pin assignment of the DC output terminal on the external

DC power supply and the pin assignment of the <DC IN> terminal on this unit, and connect the terminals with the correct polarity. (→ page 17) Incorrect connection of the 12 V power supply terminal to the GND terminal may cause a fire or failure.

• Operation from the CCU and ROP while using an external DC

power supply is also possible when this unit and the CCU are connected, but operation is affected by the increase in distance between this unit and the CCU.

29. DC output connector <DC OUT 12V 1A>

12 V DC power (up to 1.0 A) can be supplied. If the current exceeds

the rating, the power is turned off forcibly.

R and G tally signals are output. (Open collector type)
