eliminates need for camera power
*
configurations
• Configurations for camera’s power supply are not necessary when
the unit is connected to a network device that supports the PoE++
standard (IEEE802.3bt Draft ver.2.0 compliant)
<NOTE>
• When using a PoE++ device that requires software authentication,
it may take a few minutes after power supply starts before the unit
is operational.
• If the external DC power supply and a PoE++ power supply are
connected simultaneously, the external DC power supply will have
priority. If the external DC power supply is disconnected while both
power supplies are connected, the unit will restart automatically,
and the image will be interrupted.
• Use a Category 5e cable or higher when using a PoE++ power
supply. The maximum length of the cable between the power
supply unit and the unit is 100 meters (328 ft). Using a cable that
is lower than Category 5 may result in reduced power supply
capabilities.
• When a PoE++ injector is connected to a personal computer that
supports Gigabit Ethernet using a straight LAN cable, the personal
computer may not recognize the injector in rare cases. In such
cases, connect the personal computer to the unit using a cross
LAN cable (via cross connection).

Operating precautions
Shoot under the proper lighting conditions.
To produce pictures with eye-pleasing colors, shoot under the
proper lighting conditions.
The pictures may not appear with their proper colors when shooting
under fluorescent lights. Select the proper lighting as required.
To ensure a stable performance in the long
term
Using the unit for prolonged periods in locations where the
temperature and humidity levels are high will cause its parts to
deteriorate, resulting in a reduction of its service life.
(Recommended temperature: Max. 35 °C (95 °F))
Ensure that a cooling unit or heating unit will not blow any air
directly toward the installation location.
Do not point the camera at
Bright subject
strong lights.
When parts of the MOS sensor are
exposed to spotlights or other strong
lights, blooming (a phenomenon where
the edges of strong lights become
blurred) may occur.
Blooming
What happens with high-brightness subjects
Flare may occur if an extremely bright light source is pointed at
the lens. In a case like this, change the angle or take some other
remedial action.
When using the automatic functions
• The initial settings have been set to auto for some of the items
of the scenes on the camera menus and other menus, making it
impossible for these items to be operated manually. To operate
them manually, switch from the auto settings to the manual
settings as required.
• In some situations, it may be hard to focus at the auto setting. In
cases like this, select the manual setting, and focus manually.
Zooming and focusing
When the focus is set manually, out-of-focusing may occur during
zooming.
After zooming, if necessary, either adjust the focus or set the focus
to auto.
When using the focus at the manual setting, proceed with zooming
after setting the focus position at the Tele end where the focusing
accuracy is higher. (However, if the distance from the unit to the
subject is less than 1.5 meters (4.92 ft), the subject may shift out of
focus at the Wide end.)
If zooming is performed to the Tele end after having adjusted the
focus at the Wide end, out-of-focusing may occur.
About the pan/tilt operation and lens operation
when the power is turned on
When the unit’s power is turned on, the pan/tilt mechanism and the
zoom, focus, and iris of the lens are adjusted automatically.
The unit comes with the safe mode.
The safe mode is function designed to protect the unit from damage.
For further details, refer to “Concerning the safe mode”
(→ page 108).
Operating temperature range
Avoid using the unit in cold locations where the temperature drops
below –15 °C (5 °F) or hot locations where the temperature rises
above 45 °C (113 °F) since these temperatures downgrade the
picture quality and adversely affect the internal parts.
Color bars
Color bars are used to adjust the color phase, and the widths and
positions of these bars may differ from other models.
Concerning the IP video frame rates
The IP video frame rate may be slower depending on the network
environment, performance of your personal computer or mobile
terminal, subject of the video, and access volume.

12
Operating precautions (continued)
Do not touch the optical system parts.
The optical system parts are vital to the operation of the camera.
Under no circumstances must they be touched.
In the unlikely event that they have become dusty, remove the
dust by using a camera blower or by wiping them gently with a lens
cleaning paper.
Do not touch the glass surface or its screws when using the
defroster.
As the defroster heats the glass surface, it can become very hot.
Do not point the camera directly at the sun or a
laser beam no matter whether it is turned on or
not.
Taking images of the sun, laser beams, or other brightly lit subjects
for prolonged periods of time may damage the CCD.
Personal computer used
If the same image is displayed for a prolonged period on a personal
computer’s monitor, the monitor may be damaged. Use of a screen
saver is recommended.
Concerning the IP address setting
Do not run the Easy IP Setup Software on a multiple number of
personal computers for a single camera and set the IP address at
the same time.
Otherwise, you will be unable to complete the proper procedure and
set the IP address correctly.
Do not allow foreign matter to make contact
with the rotating parts.
Failure to obey may cause the unit to malfunction.
Do not turn the camera head by hand.
Turning the camera head by hand may cause the unit to
malfunction.
Use the unit in an environment with minimal
moisture and dust.
Avoid using the unit in an environment with high concentration of
moisture or dust since these conditions will damage the internal
parts.
About the dehumidifying element
The unit incorporates a dehumidifying element to maintain a low
humidity level inside the camera.
Condensation may form and dehumidification may take a while
depending on conditions such as the temperature, humidity, and
weather.
About cleaning the front glass
If the front glass becomes dirty, remove the dirt with lens cleaning
paper (paper used to clean cameras and glasses) or the like.
The front glass may be scratched if sand, etc. is adhered to it during
cleaning. If the lens is very dirty, we recommend washing it with
water.
Do not touch the glass surface or its screws when using the
defroster.
As the defroster heats the glass surface, it can become very hot.
About the lens/pan-tilt head
If the lens, pan-tilt head, and other parts are not operated for a long
period of time, the viscosity of the grease applied inside them may
increase and operation may become no longer possible. Move the
lens and pan/tilt head regularly.
Do not get close to the moving parts of the
camera head.
Do not put your fingers or body close to the unit while it is in
operation. Doing so may result in injury or cause the unit to
malfunction.
Furthermore, if the unit hits a person or obstacle, during the panning
or tilting operation, the unit will enter into the safe mode.
For further details, refer to page 108.
About the camera head
Snow, water, dust, etc. may accumulate on the hood of the lens.
Move the camera head regularly so that snow, water, dust, etc. do
not accumulate on the hood.
Maintenance
Turn off the unit’s power before proceeding with maintenance.
Failure to obey may result in injuries.
Wipe the surfaces using a soft dry cloth. Avoid all contact with
benzine, paint thinners and other volatile substances, and avoid
using these substances. Otherwise, the body may become
discolored.
About consumables
The following parts are consumables. Replace them using the
lifespans as a guide.
The lifespans may vary depending on the operating environment
and operating conditions.
The lifespans are a guide for when the unit is used at 35 °C (95 °F).

External DC power supply
Connect after making sure that the output voltage of the external DC
power supply is compatible with the rated voltage of the camera.
Select an output amperage for the external DC power supply with a
margin above the total amperage of the connected devices.
The total amperage of connected devices can be calculated with the
following formula.
Total power consumption ÷ voltage
When the power of the camera is turned on, inrush current is generated.
Insufficient power supply when turning on the power may cause a
malfunction. We recommend that you use an external DC power supply
that can assure double the capacity of the total power consumption of the
camera and connected devices that are turned on by interlock when the
power of the camera is turned on (such as lenses, wireless microphone
receivers).
• Make sure of the pin alignment of the DC output terminal of the
external DC power supply and the camera DC IN connector, and
connect the polarity correctly.
If the +12 V power supply is mistakenly connected to the GND terminal,
it may cause fire or malfunction.

Manual shooting
Manually adjusting the focus
The lens focus can be adjusted manually.
When using an AW-RP50, AW-RP120, or AK-HRP200
Refer to the operating instructions for the controller.
<NOTE>
• When the focus is set to manual, the subject may go out of focus
during panning, tilting and zooming. Therefore, the unit comes with a
function which compensates for this. (Focus ADJ With PTZ.)
This function was set to [On] at the factory.
If the function has been set to [Off], either adjust the focus, as
required, after zooming or set the focus to auto.
(→ page 49, page 78, page 81)
Manually adjusting the iris
The lens iris can be adjusted manually.
When using an AW-RP50, AW-RP120, or AK-HRP200
Refer to the operating instructions for the controller.
<NOTE>
• In the night mode, the iris is set to open as a measure to prevent video
spying.
Adjust the brightness at the light source.
Manually 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,
60.15 Hz, etc. is designated).
When shooting a TV screen or personal computer's 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.
The procedure is the same as for “Basic setup operations”
(→ pages 30 to 37).
When using an AW-RP50, AW-RP120, or AK-HRP200
Refer to the operating instructions for the controller.
Manually adjusting the gain
There are two ways to adjust the gain. One way involves using the
buttons on the controller; the other way involves using the Camera menu
or Web setup screen [Setup]. The gain can be adjusted more precisely
using the Camera menu or Web setup screen [Setup].
For further details, refer to the “Gain” (→ page 40, page 72).
<NOTE>
• When adjusting the gain, the light quantity may change suddenly
(causing the image output to be subjected to a shock).
When using an AW-RP50, AW-RP120, or AK-HRP200
Refer to the operating instructions for the controller.
Preset memories
This unit enables up to 100 settings for the camera direction (panning
and tilting), zoom, focus, iris, gain, white balance and digital extender 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 controller that is used for operation.
• The focus and iris operating modes (manual and auto settings) are
neither registered nor recalled. The current focus and iris values are
registered.
• The focus and iris values can be recalled only when the manual
settings are applicable.
• For the white balance, the current White Balance Mode adjustment
values are registered. If a preset value is recalled when AWB A
or AWB B is selected, the adjustment value selected when it was
registered as a preset will be recalled. The R Gain and B Gain values
return to 0 in such cases.
<NOTE>
• 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.
• If displacement occurs, perform registration again.
• When a manual operation is performed for pan, tilt, zoom, focus or iris
during preset recall, the preset operation for the pan, tilt, zoom, focus
or iris operation concerned will be aborted.
• If another preset has been recalled during an ongoing preset recall,
the preset being recalled is aborted, and operation for the preset called
last is performed instead.
In any case, the maximum gain of the automatic adjustment (AGC) can
be set by the camera menu or Web setup screen [Setup].
For further details, refer to the “AGC Max Gain” (→ page 40,
page 73).
When using an AW-RP50 or AW-RP120
Up to 100 entries can be registered/recalled.
For details, refer to the operating instructions for the controller.
When using an AK-HRP200
Preset memories cannot be registered or recalled.
White balance adjustment
Adjust the ratio between the three primary colors (RGB) to reproduce
white accurately. If the white balance is out of adjustment, not only will
white be reproduced poorly, but the color tones of the screen as a whole
will also be degraded.
• Perform adjustment when using the unit for the first time or when
the unit has not been used for a prolonged period.
• Perform adjustment when the lighting conditions or brightness
changes.
Either AWB (automatic white balance adjustment) which initiates
automatic adjustment when the <AWB> button on the controller has
been pressed or ATW (automatic tracking white balance adjustment)
which constantly adjusts the white balance can be selected for
adjustment purposes.
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.
• Once the white balance values have been adjusted, their setup
procedure will be completed simply by selecting them using the
camera menus or Web setup screen [Setup], 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.
• Once a new setting is entered, the previous setting will be erased.
• White balance adjustment is not possible in night mode.
Use the two memories to store settings corresponding to different
shooting conditions.
Automatic adjustment (AWB: AWB A or AWB B)
When using an AW-RP50, AW-RP120, or AK-HRP200
Refer to the operating instructions for the controller.
<NOTE>
• Proper white balance adjustment may not be possible if the object
lighting is too weak or a bright light (e.g., fluorescent light) enters the
screen.
• 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.
Auto 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.
<NOTE>
• ATW might not function properly when high brightness light (ex.
fluorescent lamp) beams into a screen.
• White balance may not be accurately set if there is no white object in
the scene being shot.
• The white balance may shift out of adjustment when different kinds of
light sources such as sunlight and fluorescent lighting are applied.
3200K and 5600K presets
When [3200K] or [5600K] is selected for the white balance, the white
balance is set using a color temperature of 3200 K (equivalent to
halogen light) or 5600 K (equivalent to daylight), respectively.
VAR
When [VAR] is selected for the white balance, you can select a color
temperature between 2000 K and 15000 K.
<NOTE>
• The displayed [VAR] value does not guarantee an absolute value. Use
the value as a reference.

Black balance adjustment
Adjust the zero levels of the three primary colors (RGB) to reproduce
black accurately. If the black balance is out of adjustment, not only will
black be reproduced poorly, but the color tones of the screen as a whole
will also be degraded.
Readjustment of the black balance is not required under normal
circumstances but is necessary in the following situations.
• Perform adjustment when using the unit for the first time or when
the unit has not been used for a prolonged period.
• Perform adjustment when the ambient temperature changes
significantly, such as during changes of the season.
Black level (master pedestal) adjustment
The black level can be adjusted when using a multiple number of
cameras including the unit. Ask your dealer to perform this adjustment.
(Use a waveform monitor for the adjustment.)
Adjust the black level in accordance with the units and devices used.
Genlock adjustment
The genlock adjustment is performed to achieve phase alignment by
applying external synchronization (genlock) when a multiple number of
cameras will be used or when the unit will be used in combination with
other devices.
This unit supports tri-level sync external synchronization signals.
Ask your dealer to perform this adjustment.
(Use a dual-trace oscilloscope for the adjustment.)
