Overview

This new-generation all-format HD camera is designed to support the 720P format. By way of providing support for the 720P format, this model uses newly developed 2/3z CCDs with a million pixels [1280 (H) x 720 (V)]. By taking a fresh approach to the on-chip lens, CCD structure and processes, these new CCDs embody dramatically improved sensitivity, smear and dynamic range specifications compared with conventional CCDs, and they achieve a high performance which is on a par with that of SD. Furthermore, the moire in the band has been slashed by offsetting the pixels by combining Panasonic’s unique horizontal line readout CCDs with high-accuracy signal processing. The newly developed digital signal processing LSI which supports 12-bit A/D conversion and which is provided in the camera head processes the gamma, knee, detail, matrix and other process signals and uses a new system for CCD defect correction to achieve improved operability with a greater number of functions, high quality and high stability which only digital systems can deliver. The 12-bit A/D converter yields a stable wide dynamic circuit with a high signal-to-noise ratio from the dark areas to the highlights. A newly developed casing is used to house the Multi-Format Camera head to achieve a compact size and light weight. The amount of heat generated has been significantly reduced by designing the new circuitry to consume less power and by adopting an efficient heat dissipation design for the new casing. SD signals (D1, VBS) can be output and RET images and PROMPT signals can be input by connecting the Multi-Format Camera to the CCU (AK-HCU931P, optional accessory). In terms of controlling the camera’s functions, the ROP (AK-HRP931P) or MSU (AK-MSU930P), also available as an optional accessory, can be connected to the CCU to control such analog functions as the camera head’s pedestal and iris and control such switches as the gain and output selector switches.

Features

Newly developed 720P, 2/3z million-pixel CCDs incorporated
This achieves a high sensitivity that surpasses the
standard sensitivity of F10 and is on a par with SD.
Smear has been cut to 130 dB and the number of white
marks has been drastically reduced by process improvements.
H-CCD drive is accomplished at a frequency of 74 MHz
to attain a high response and high resolution.
Digital signal processing LSI with high picture quality featured in the camera unit
After the process circuits, the signals undergo 12-bit, 74
MHz high-picture-quality digital processing, yielding a high reliability, more functions and enhanced operating ease as a result.
Multi-functional enhancer
In addition to the many functions such as chroma DTL,
skin DTL and dynamic DTL, there is a choice of 8 boost frequencies. (For both HD and SD)
Designed to achieve low noise levels of below NC15
The fan mode can be switched to suit the application at
hand, and measures to reduce the power requirements and improve the heat dissipation were adopted in the final design.
Fuller complement of control circuits and auto setup (ASU) function
The self-diagnosis functions have been enhanced, and it
has now become possible to select the ASU function by combining the external shooting chart and internal test signals as well as the normal, simplified or other mode.
Peripheral components
Ease of operation can be further improved by configuring
a system where the Multi-Format Camera is used in combination with the remote operation panel (ROP) and master setup unit (MSU).
Using the ROP matrix, for instance, ROP assignment is
enabled without connector patch switching.
Data trunk function
Two RS-422 circuits are provided as a standard feature.
They obviate the need for the cables used with virtual control, pan-tilt head and lens control, etc.
D/C output of camera supported (optional function)
The VF output or camera output can be selected as the
D/C output.
The VF images can be monitored on the NTSC LCD
monitor.

Adjusting the lens flange back

Adjust the flange back (distance from the surface where the lens is mounted to the surface where the images are formed) if the subject fails to be precisely focused at both the telephoto and wide-angle settings when zoom operations are to be performed. Once adjusted, the flange back does not need to be adjusted again unless the lens is replaced.
Adjustment method
1 Mount the lens on the camera. Do not forget to connect
the lens cable at this time.
2 Set the lens iris to manual, and open the iris.
3 Set the lighting in such a way that the appropriate video
output level is obtained at a distance of about 10 ft (3 meters) from the flange back adjustment chart. If the video level is too high, use a filter or shutter.
4 Loosen the screw that secures the F.f (flange focus)
ring.
<Note>
Depending on the lens concerned, this ring may be marked as the “F.b” (flange back) ring.
5 Set the zoom ring to the telephoto position either by
manual or electrical means.
6 Shoot the flange back adjustment chart, and turn the
distance ring to adjust the focus.
7 Set the zoom ring to the wide-angle position, and turn
the F.f ring to adjust the focus. Take care not to move the distance ring.
8 Repeat steps 5 to 7 until the chart is focused properly at
both the telephoto and wide-angle positions.
9 Tighten up the screw that secures the F.f ring.
<Note>
For details on the adjustment method and positions of the lens parts, refer also to the instructions that accompany the lens.

The MSU (AK-MSU930P) is not required unless a multiple number of cameras are to be controlled. The basic system configuration includes the lens, Multi-Format Camera, 2z viewfinder, camera control unit (CCU) and remote operation panel (ROP).

Outline of peripheral components
1 Camera control unit (CCU: AK-HCU931P)
This is the Multi-Format Camera’s camera control unit. It is connected to the Multi-Format Camera using an optical fiber cable (optional accessory). As a standard feature, it supports SD video input and output, and it can also support HD video input and output by connecting the HD output unit (AK-HHD931P).
2 Remote operation panel (ROP: AK-HRP931P)
The ROP is connected to the CCU using the ROP cable (optional accessory), and enables the camera, CCU and lens to be operated by remote control.
3 Master setup unit (MSU:AK-MSU930P)
When a multiple number of cameras and CCUs are used, the MSU can operate up to 15 units either separately or simultaneously by remote control. It can be operated together with the ROP.
4 2z viewfinder (2zVF: AJ-HVF27P)
This is the viewfinder for the Multi-Format Camera.
5 Build-up unit (AK-HBU931P)
This is an adapter used to mount a larger lens (optional accessory) on the Multi-Format Camera. Thereby, it affords the same level of operability as that provided by a larger camera.
6 LCD viewfinder (LCD VF: AK-HVF931P)
This is the LCD viewfinder for the Multi-Format Camera. It can be used at the same time as the 2z viewfinder. It can still be operated when the system is built up.
Component connections in an SD system
1 Component connections
Refer to pages 18 to 20 for the component connections. After all the components have been connected (the monitor system may be connected afterward), set the CCU’s main power switch to the ON position. Then turn on the camera’s power switch.
