  • For signal to noise ratio the value is 62 dB typically.
  • Horizontal resolution has different values for different cameras: for GP-US522 it is 800 lines while for GP-US532 it is 750 lines.
  • There are three categories of White Balance: ATW Automatic Tracing White Balance, AWC Automatic White Balance and Manual.
  • In terms of black balance there are two controls available Automatic Black Balance Control ABC and a Manual one.
  • Automatic Gain Control AGC and Electronic Light Control ELC are two techniques for gain control.
  • The range for electronic shutter is from AUTO 1/60 untill 1/10,000 seconds, a range of STEP is also there comprising of various speeds.
  • The power supply consumed is around 12 volts DC.
  • The consumption of power is averaged 8.4 W.
  • In south America, a temperature range of 32 FT to 113 FT is optimum for working.
  • As per design, the camera head has dimensions of 34 mm by 44mm by 52mm.
  • the weight of the camera is 110 g.
  • The video outputs include a composite BNCx2, S-video mini DINx1 and RGB SYNC D-sub 9 pinx1.
  • As there is a gen lock capability, different inputs can be selected such as VBS VS HD VD.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: How do the GP-US522 and GP-US532 differ from one another?

A: The GP-US522 has an 800-line horizontal resolution of a 1/2" CCD sensor while the GP-US532 has a horizontal resolution of 750 lines of a sensor which is 1/3 of an inch wide.

  • Q: In what other ways does the device output video?

A: Composite video (BNC), S-Video and RGB/SYNC outputs are supported on the device.

  • Q: What is the minimum required scene illumination the camera can operate optimally with?

A: The GP-US522 requires a scene illumination of around 5 lux at F2.8 with respect to the illumination being 9 lux at F2.2 for the GP-US532 but with + 18 dB in both cameras; respectively.

  • Q: Explain the working of the electronic shutter.

A: In AUTO mode the shutter moves between 1/60 to 1/10,000 seconds and in STEP mode the shutter can be set to predetermined sections.

  • Q: Are there operational restrictions on the camera if it’s used outdoors?

A: The camera has limits that shouldn’t be exceeded. The camera exposure in rain or moisture is an impractical use, an ambient temperature exceeding 45 degrees Celsius and going below 0 degrees Celsius while using the minimal temperature may not be reasonable.

  • Q: What power supply/train is best suited for the camera?

A: The more voltage Input gets supplied, the more range suit the walls needed with 12V of DC. The walls suited for the camera lie in the range of 11.5V to 16V.

  • Q: Is there a warranty on the device?

A: Typically, Panasonic's customer care representatives or the retailer from whom you purchased the device can provide you with the warranty details.
