Panasonic's GP-US522/532 Industrial Digital Signal
Processing Color 3-CCD Camera overcomes space limitations that have complicated many video applications.
The GP-US522/532 incorporates Three 380 000-pixels (768
(H) x 494 (V)) Interline Transfer CCDs to give you a remarkable 800 lines (750 lines for GP-US532) of horizontal reso-
lution and a S/N ratio is 62 dB. This means a color picture
with high visual information content, for excellent image
detail.
Because it features digital signal processing, the GPUS522/532 provides an exceptionally stable picture.

Set this switch to BAR when making video monitor
adjustments and recording the color bar signal.
8. White Balance Selector (ATW/AWC/MANU)
This selector is used to select one of the following
white balance modes.
ATW: In this mode, the color temperature is monitored
continuously and thereby white balance is set
automatically.
AWC: In this mode, accurate white balance is
obtained.
The white balance settings are as follows:
1. Aim the camera at white chart.
2. Press the ITEM (AWC) button on the front
panel to set the white balance.

If the gen-lock signal is jittery (as in the case of a
VCR playback picture), the camera cannot be synchronized properly.
(External HD and VD Mode)
The horizontal and vertical pulse of the color video
signal is synchronized with the external HD fed to
this connector and external VD fed to the VD input
connector.
