Before use

pwOverview

p This unit is a compact full HD camera integrated with a

pan-tilt head and featuring a 1/3-type full HD MOS sensor and digital signal processor (DSP).

p In addition to its optical 18 zoom lens, the unit comes

with a 10 digital zoom to achieve high-quality shooting that overflows with ambiance.

p The unit features a night mode, making it possible to shoot

even under very-low-brightness conditions by exposing subjects to infrared rays.

p Two models are available: the HDMI model AW-HE60H

which is ideal for distributing the signals of TV conference and other video events, and the SDI output model AW-HE60S which is ideal for creating content. IP video transfer and IP control can be performed for both models. It is also possible to connect to an existing camera controller using serial control.

pwManually adjusting the shutter

speed

The shutter speed can be set using two methods. One is a method that specifies the time (where a time such as 1/250 sec. is designated), and the other is a method that specifies the frequency (where synchro scan, 60.24 Hz*, etc. is designated). When shooting a TV screen or PC monitor screen, the horizontal noise generated when the screen is shot can be minimized by adjusting the frequency to the screen frequency using synchro scan.

*: This describes when the AW‑HE60HN/AW‑HE60SN is used.

When performing the operations

using the wireless remote control

Perform the adjustments on the Camera menu. For further details, refer to the [Shutter Mode] and [Step/Synchro] items on page 42.

Preset memories

This unit enables up to 100 settings for the camera direction (panning and tilting), zoom, focus, iris, gain and white balance to be registered in its preset memories, and called. However, the number of settings that can be registered and called depends on the type of wireless remote control or controller that is used for operation.

p The focus and iris operating modes (manual and auto

settings) are neither registered nor recalled. The current focus and iris values are registered.

p The focus and iris values can be recalled only when the

manual settings are applicable.

p AWB A, AWB B or ATW is registered as the white balance

setting. The values selected when AWB was established are recalled as the adjustment values of AWB A or AWB B.

p The AWB Mode (ATW, AWB A or AWB B) stored using

the AW-RP655 are recalled only when the AW-RP655 is connected.

Notes

p When there is a large difference in the environmental

temperature between the time of registration and the time the setting is called, displacement of the preset position may occur.

p If displacement occurs, perform registration again. p While preset settings are being called, it is not

possible to perform manual operations such as panning, tilting, zooming or iris adjustments.

p If, when one set of preset settings has been called,

another set of preset settings is then called, the first set of preset settings which have been called will take precedence.

When performing the operations

White balance adjustment

pwWhite balance adjustment

In order for the white to be reproduced accurately, the ratio between the three primary colors (RGB) is adjusted. If the white balance has shifted out of adjustment, not only will the white be reproduced poorly but the color tones of the entire screen will also be degraded.

p This adjustment must be performed when using the

unit for the first time or when the unit has not been used for a prolonged period.

p It must be performed when the lighting conditions or

brightness has changed.

As the type of adjustment used, AWB (automatic white balance adjustment) which is used to adjust the white balance when the AWB button on the controller is pressed, ATW (automatic tracking white balance adjustment) which is used to keep adjusting the white balance at all times, or manual adjustment can be selected.

The results of the AWB adjustment can be stored in two memories, A and B, when “AWB A” or “AWB B” has been selected for the white balance.

p Once the white balance values have been adjusted, their

setup procedure will be completed simply by selecting them using the camera menus or web settings, or by pressing the buttons on the controller, provided that they are going to be used under the same conditions as the ones established when the values were set. There is no need to set it again.

p Once a new setting is entered, the previous setting will be

erased.

Use the two memories to store settings corresponding to different shooting conditions.

Notes

p White balance may not be correctly set if the lighting

of the object is too weak.

p Since the unit has a built-in memory, the set white

balance will remain in the memory even if power is turned off. Therefore, it is not necessary to reset the white balance if the color temperature of those objects remains unchanged. However, it must be reset if the color temperature changes, such as when you move from indoors to outside, or vice versa.

pqAuto tracking white adjustment (ATW)

When the white balance adjustment is set to “ATW”, the white balance continues to be adjusted automatically all the time, and it is automatically corrected even when the light source or color temperature has changed to produce completely natural pictures.

This function works when “ATW” is selected instead of “AWB A” or “AWB B” by following the steps for “Automatic adjustment” in “White balance adjustment” (page 23).

Notes

p ATW might not function properly when high brightness

light (ex. fluorescent lamp) beams into a screen.

p White balance may not be accurately set if there is no

pqColor phase adjustment

The color phase adjustment must be performed if the pictures are to be switched using a video switcher or other device when the video output signals have been set as composite signals. It need not be performed when the video output signals have been set as component signals. The camera’s color phase is aligned with the program output (split color bar output) signals of a color special effect device or other color tones that will serve as the reference. (The color phase can be adjusted more accurately if a vectorscope is used for the adjustment.)
