PREFACE
FEATURES (With GP-KS162 H)
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 0.04 lbs (16
g), 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
33 feet(10-meter) away, using an optional 33-feet (10meter) cable. So the exceptionally manueurable GP-KS162
series lets you obtain a whole new world of camera angles
and shots that were once quite difficult to achieve. With the
380,000-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 color images in light as low as 0.3 footcandle (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.
Color 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
color can also be adjusted manually, for optimum color
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.
