Parts and their functions

3 Camera selector switches [CAMERA]

These are used to select one camera and one CCU as the pair which is to be controlled by the MSU. A camera is selected by pressing the camera selector switch with the same number as the camera to be selected (its lamp will light). The selection is released by pressing the camera selector switch of the selected camera (its lamp will turn off). When a camera selector switch is pressed, the MSU settings (such as the switch lamp lighting and selection) are performed using the information on the settings for the camera concerned. The details of the functions given below apply when one or more camera selector switches have been selected.

4 MODE ON/OFF switches

These switches are for setting the camera operation modes. The modes corresponding to the switches with the lighted lamps are selected.

5600K switch [5600K MODE]

This is used to change the amplification rate of the GBR signals by an electrical circuit to achieve the white balance that corresponds to the color temperature of 5600K. When it is pressed, the B video signal is attenuated by approximately -6 dB, the R video signal is boosted by approximately 3 dB, and the G video signal is not attenuated. Select this switch when shooting under a 5600K light source or shooting outdoors.

Lighted: 5600K Off: 3200K

Flare switch [FLARE OFF MODE]

This is used to cancel the flare correction function (which suppresses the rise of the pedestal in proportion to the light quantity). Lighted: Flare correction OFF (flare correction function

is canceled)

Off: Flare correction function is valid.

Black gamma ON switch [BLACK GAMMA ON MODE]

This is used to enable the black gamma function (which changes the video signal amplification rate in parts where the light quantity is low). Lighted: Black gamma ON (black gamma function is

valid)

Off: Black gamma function is canceled.

Gamma OFF switch [GAMMA OFF MODE]

This is used to cancel the gamma correction function (which provides the signal level of the video signals with the reverse characteristics matching the TV video signal input and light-emitting level characteristics). Lighted: Gamma correction OFF (gamma correction

function is canceled)

Off: Gamma correction function is valid.

Knee OFF switch [KNEE OFF MODE]

This is used to cancel the knee function that attenuates those parts of the video signals where a particular level (knee point) has been exceeded so that they will not become saturated as easily.

Lighted: Knee OFF (knee function is canceled) Off: Knee function is valid.

White clip OFF switch [WHITE CLIP OFF MODE]

This is used to cancel the white clip function by which the video signal output is clipped (saturated).

Lighted: White clip OFF (white clip OFF function is valid) Off: White clip ON

Matrix ON switch [MATRIX ON MODE]

This is used to enable the matrix function by which the chroma saturation is compensated for the G (green), B (blue), R (red), Ye (yellow), Cy (cyan) and Mg (magenta) signals and by which the chroma saturation and hue are compensated for the I (skin tone) signals.

Lighted: Matrix ON (color correction function is valid) Off: Matrix OFF

PM character display switch [CHARACTER]

This is used to set the characters to be displayed on the PM to ON or OFF.

HDTV detail OFF switch [HD.DTL OFF MODE]

This is used to cancel the detail enhancer function that enhances (adjusts the relative hardness/softness of) the picture quality in the detailed parts of the HDTV video output. Lighted: Detail enhancer OFF (function for enhancing

picture quality in detailed parts canceled)

Off: Detail enhancer ON

SDTV detail OFF switch [SD.DTL OFF MODE]

This is used to cancel the detail enhancer function that enhances (adjusts the relative hardness/softness of) the picture quality in the detailed parts of the SDTV video output. Lighted: Detail enhancer OFF (function for enhancing

picture quality in detailed parts canceled)

Off: Detail enhancer ON

HDTV skin tone detail ON switch [HD SKIN ON MODE]

This is used to suppress the detail in the skin color parts of the HDTV video output.

SDTV skin tone detail ON switch [SD SKIN ON MODE]

This is used to suppress the detail in the skin color parts of the SDTV video output.

5 EL display

When the control item selector switches are selected, the corresponding adjustment items and adjustment values appear on the EL display.

Black shading selector switch [BLACK SHADING CONTROL]

This is used to correct the black shading (the coloring of black images). When it is pressed (its lamp is lighted) and when one of the SHADING R, G or B switches is then pressed and selected, the adjustment items for the black shading appear on the LCD display. The black shading correction can be adjusted using the four neighboring adjustment rotary encoders. HSAW: Horizontal sawtooth wave correction

This is used to correct the coloring of black screen images in the horizontal direction. Adjustment range: –100 to 100

HPAR: Horizontal parabola correction

This is used to correct the coloring of black screen images in the horizontal direction. Adjustment range: –100 to 100

VSAW: Vertical sawtooth wave correction

This is used to correct the coloring of black screen images in the vertical direction. Adjustment range: –100 to 100

VPAR: Vertical parabola correction

This is used to correct the coloring of black screen images in the vertical direction. Adjustment range: –100 to 100

White shading selector switch [WHITE SHADING CONTROL]

This is used to correct the white shading. When it is pressed and its lamp is lighted and when one of the SHADING R, G or B switches is then pressed and selected, the adjustment items for the white shading appear on the LCD display. The white shading correction can be adjusted using the four neighboring adjustment rotary encoders. HSAW: Horizontal sawtooth wave correction

This is used to correct the coloring of white screen images in the horizontal direction. Adjustment range: –100 to 100 (0: Equivalent to OFF)

HPAR: Horizontal parabola correction

This is used to correct the coloring of white screen images in the horizontal direction. Adjustment range: –100 to 100 (0: Equivalent to OFF)

VSAW: Vertical sawtooth wave correction

This is used to correct the coloring of white screen images in the vertical direction. Adjustment range: –100 to 100 (0: Equivalent to OFF)

VPAR: Vertical parabola correction

This is used to correct the coloring of white screen images in the vertical direction. Adjustment range: –100 to 100 (0: Equivalent to OFF)

R, G, B shading switches [R, G, B]

These are used to select the video signals targeted for shading correction from among the R, G and B signals. The lamp of the selected switch lights.

The HD DETAIL switch will now be used as an example to describe the EL menu. When the HD.DTL control item selector switch is pressed, what is shown in the example in the figure above appears on the EL display. The adjustment item title appears on the first line. On lines 2, 3 and 4 are the adjustment item groups which can be selected each time an individual adjustment item is set. At the far left is the > arrow that indicates the adjustment item group now selected; on the third tier from the bottom is the adjustment item which has been selected; on the second tier from the bottom is the adjustment value level display; and on the bottom tier is the adjustment value itself. To select an adjustment item group, press the $ or # switch to move the > arrow to the far left of the line with the adjustment item group to be selected. Once the adjustment item to be selected is displayed, turn the adjustment rotary encoder to set the adjustment value. To return (initialize) the changed data to the original data, press the UNDO switch. If a control switch is pressed and its lamp is turned off or if another control switch is pressed and the menu screen has changed, the setting of the adjustment item so far will be stored.

6 Adjustment rotary encoders

The data of an adjustment item shown on the EL display can be changed using the neighboring adjustment rotary encoder.

7 Control item selector switches

When these switches are selected (their lamps are lighted), the corresponding adjustment items and adjustment values appear on the EL display. The adjustment values can be changed using the neighboring adjustment rotary encoder.

Undo switch [UNDO]

This is used to return the values controlled on the display to the statuses that existed prior to the control.

Flare OFF switch [FLARE OFF]

This is used to cancel the flare correction function.
