PREFACE

The Panasonic Camera Control Unit GP-KS162CU is designed to use with the optional Camera Head GPKS162H.

This system overcomes space limitations that have complicated many video applications. Weight of only 16g (0.04 lbs.), this remarkably compact CCTV camera measures only two-thirds of an inch in diameter and less than two inches in length. GP-KS162CU Remote Control Unit (CCU) and optional camera head GP-KS162H can be extended up to 10-meter (33 feet) away, using an optional 10-meter (33-feet) cable. So the exceptionally manuerable GP-KS162 series lets you obtain a whole new world of camera angles and shots that were once quite difficult to achieve. With the 440,000-element, 1/2-inch CCD pick-up device, horizontal resolution is more than 480 lines, and signal-to-noise ratio is 50 dB. An Auto Light Selection Switch and lets you obtain clear, high-quality colour images in light as low as 3 lux at F1.4.

In addition, a small diameter wide-angle lens developed by Matsushita makes high resolution standard even with subjects as close as 4/5th of an inch away.

Colour changes are sensed instantly and compensated for by a microcomputer in the GP-KS162CU. Proper white balance is then obtained via the built-in-Auto Tracing White Balance (ATW) circuit. Both White Balance and R and B colour can also be adjusted manually, for optimum colour reproduction.

The camera head can be used with most existing camera systems. And VTR, video printer or floppy disk recorder, for a host of new and traditional applications.

FEATURES (With GP-KS162H)

1.1/2 inch Interline CCD image sensor with 752 (H) x 582

(V) pixels.

2.480 lines of horizontal resolution.

3.3 lux at F1.4 of minimum scene illumination.

4.50 dB of signal to noise ratio.

5.Selectable Through the Lens Auto Tracing White Balance (ATW), Auto White Balance Control (AWC) or Manual White Balance Control.

6.Auto Light Control Switch enables to control the video output level to constant level whatever the object brightness may be.

7.Video Level Control enables to adjust the video level to your preference.

8.The preset 1, preset 2 and automatic setting mode are provided for Back Light Compensation (BLC) function.

9.2-memory AWC mode is available.

10.DC 12V operation

11.10-meter (33-feet) of maximum cable length between camera head and camera control unit with optional camera cable.

12.S-VHS Video Output is provided.

PRECAUTIONS

Do not attempt to disassemble the camera.

To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

Do not expose the camera or camera control unit to rain or moisture, or do not try to operate it in wet areas. Do take immediate action if ever the camera or camera control unit do become wet. Turn power off and refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

Moisture can damage the camera and camera control unit and also create the danger of electric shock.

Ambient Temperature range

Do not install the camera in the place which is beyond −10°C - +50 °C (14 °F - 122 °F).

Do not drop anything inside the camera.

Dropping metal for example inside the camera could permanently damage the unit.

Never crush or pinch the camera cable.

Do not bend the camera cable into a curve whose radius is too small.

Never face the camera toward the sun.

Whether the camera is in use or not, never face it toward the sun.

Do use caution when operating the camera in the vicinity of spot lights or other lights and light reflecting objects.

How to take care of this camera.

After turning OFF the Power ON/OFF Switch, clean it with a dry cloth. If it is difficult to remove the dirt or dust, clean it up with a cloth applied the neutral cleanser.

Use the lens cleaning tissue paper (may be available at your local camera store) for lens cleaning.

Connect this to a DC12V, 0.5 A - 0.7 A CLASS 2 Power supply only.

After using the camera, turn OFF the power ON/OFF Switch and put the lens cap on the camera head.

Every necessary procedures with regard to install this product should be made by qualified service personnel or system installers.

Caution:

Connecting or disconnecting camera cable to/from the camera control unit must be done after turning OFF the Power ON/OFF Switch. Otherwise, the camera head may be damaged.

The white balance can be set by pressing this button when the White Balance Selection Switch (4) is set to the AWC position.

3.White Balance Indicator

4.White Balance Selection Switch (WHITE BAL, AWC/ATW/MANU)

AWC : The white balance is automatically set and fixed by detecting the characteristic / colour temperature of light source through the lens and controlling the gain of red and blue signal. The White Balance Indicator lights during the setting.

Note: When the White Balance Offset On/Off Switch is turned on, the fine adjustment for R/B gain is available by means of the R and B Gain Controls (5) after completing the white balance setting. The adjustable range is approx. 2,200K - 10,000K.

ATW : The white balance is automatically and continuously set by detecting the characteristic / colour temperature of light source through the lens and controlling the gain of red and blue signal even if the characteristic / colour temperature varies.

Note: When the White Balance Offset On/Off Switch is turned on, the fine adjustment for R/B gain is available by means of the R and B Gain Controls after completing the white balance setting. The adjustable range is approx. 2,300K - 6,000K.

MANU: The R/B gain of the white balance can be adjusted manually by means of the R and B Gain Controls.

The adjustable range of the white balance temperature is approx. 2,200K - 10,000K.

5.R / B Gain Controls (R/B)
