Thank you very much for purchasing the multi-purpose digital
camera.
Preface
This camera employs new 2/3q 1 million-pixel IT CCD [1280(H)k720(V)], realizing a compact light-weight system including the optical system.
Also, the newly developed CCD having an IT configuration suited for higher picture quality
and the development of low-noise, high-speed amplifiers have enabled the realization of
high sensitivity, high S/N ratio, and wide dynamic range.
With the newly developed digital signal processing LSI mounted on the camera head, it
performs signal processing such as GAMMA, KNEE and DTL matrix, and CCD flaw correction based on a new system, intending to improve the maneuverability with multi-function,
high-quality, and high stability peculiar to a digital system.
Making the best use of the features of a small-sized self-contain camera, it is accommodated in the camera housing and able to provide high-quality HD pictures as an multi-purpose digital camera.
Features
New 2/3q 1 million-pixel CCD is employed.
[1280(H) k720(V)]
≥ 1 million-pixel CCD is 2/3q in size, being
compact and light-weight.
The camera section is equipped with a
high picture quality digital signal processing LSI.
≥ 10 Bit, 74 MHz high picture quality digital
processing after the process circuit.
≥ New type CCD flaw correcting function.
≥ High reliability, multi-function, and im-
provement of maneuverability are realized.
≥ Max. +62 dB gain-up is possible.
(Memory addition, CCD pixel addition
mode included)
Performance improvement by new-generation IT
≥ High sensitivity, wide dynamic range and
low smear are realized by CCD most
suited for high-quality pictures.
≥ High response and high resolution are re-
alized by driving H-CCD at 74 MHz.
Multiple functions
≥ Multi-function DTL such as high-lumi-
nance DTL and skin DTL.
≥ Two HD-SDI output lines.
≥ Capable of coping with various variable
frames including 24P (option).
≥ Right and left, top and bottom picture re-
versing function.

Precautions
DON’TS DO’S
≥ Do not attempt to disassemble the cam-
era or other units. In order to prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or covers. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside.
≥ Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking,
shaking, etc. The camera contains sensitive components which could be damaged
by improper handling or storage.
≥ Do not let the lens remain uncapped when
the camera is not use. If the lens is not
installed, do not leave the lens mount hole
uncovered.
≥ Do not touch the surface of the lens or
prism.
≥ Do not use strong of abrasive detergents
when cleaning the camera body.
≥ Do not aim the camera toward the sun,
no matter whether it is turned on or not.
≥ Do not expose the camera to rain or mois-
ture, and do not try to operate the equipment in wet conditions. Do not operate the
camera if it becomes wet.
≥ Refer any servicing to qualified service
personnel.
≥ Handle the camera with care.
≥ Protect the precision made lens by plac-
ing the lens cap over when the camera is
not in use. If the lens is not installed, protect the surface of the prism by placing
the body cap into the lens mount hole.
≥ Use a mild blower or lens cleaning tissue
designed for coated lenses, to clean the
surface of the lens or prism in the event
that it should become dirty.
≥ Use a dry cloth to clean the camera if it is
dirty. In case the dirt is hard to remove,
use mild detergent and wipe gently.
≥ Use caution when operating the camera
in the vicinity of spot lights or bright lights,
as well as light reflecting objects and surfaces.
≥ Take immediate action if ever the camera
should become wet. Turn the power off
and have the unit checked by an authorized service facility.
≥ Do not operate the camera outdoors dur-
ing a lightning storm.
≥ Do not use the camera in an extreme en-
vironment where high temperatures or
high humidity exist.
≥ Do not leave the camera turned on when
not in use. Do not unnecessarily turn the
camera power on and off repeatedly. Do
not block the ventilation slots.
≥ Do not cover the port otherwise block ven-
tilation during operation. Internal heat
buildup can cause a fire.
≥ Follow normal safety precaution to avoid
personal injury.
≥ Use the camera in an environment where
the temperature is within 32°F – +104°F
(0°C – +40°C), and the relative humidity
is within 30% – 90% (no condensation).
≥ Always turn the power off when the cam-
era is not going to be used. Operate the
camera only when there is adequate ventilation.
≥ Cooling fan
There is internally provided a cooling fan.
Since the cooling fan is a consumable part,
replace it after about 50,000 hours of operation.
(Be sure to ask the dealer for the replacement.)
