Preface
Thank you very much for purchasing the multi-purpose digital
camera.
New 2/3q 2.2 million-pixel CCD is
employed.
[1920(H) k1080(V)]
• 2.2 million-pixel CCD is 2/3q 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
improvement of maneuverability are
realized.
• Max. +48 dB gain-up is possible.
(Memory addition, CCD pixel addition
mode included)
Performance improvement by newgeneration FIT
• High sensitivity, wide dynamic range and
low smear are realized by CCD most
suited for high-quality pictures.
• High response and high resolution are
realized by driving H-CCD at 74 MHz.
Multiple functions
• Multi-function DTL such as highluminance DTL and skin DTL.
• Two HD-SDI output lines.
This camera employs new 2/3q 2.2 million-pixel FIT CCD [1920(H)k1080(V)], realizing a
compact light-weight system including the optical system.
Also, the newly developed CCD having an FIT 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
multifunction, 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

• Do not attempt to disassemble the
camera 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
moisture, and do not try to operate the
equipment in wet conditions. Do not
operate the camera if it becomes wet.
• Do not operate the camera outdoors
during a lightning storm.
• Do not use the camera in an extreme
environment 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
ventilation during operation. Internal heat
buildup can cause a fire.
• Refer any servicing to qualified service
personnel.
• Handle the camera with care.
• Protect the precision made lens by
placing 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.
• Follow normal safety precaution to avoid
personal injury.
• Use the camera in an environment where
the temperature is within 32°F to +104°F
(0°C to +40°C), and the relative humidity
is within 30% to 90% (no condensation).
• Always turn the power off when the
camera 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.)
