PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not attempt to disassemble the camera or
camera control unit.
To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or
covers.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Ask a qualified service person for servicing.
2. Handle the camera and the camera control unit
with care.
Do not abuse the camera and the camera control
unit. Avoid striking, shaking, etc. The camera could
be damaged by improper handling or storage.
3. Do not exposé the camera or camera control unit
to rain or moisture, or try to operate it in wet
areas.
Turn the power off immediately and ask a qualified
service person for servicing. Moisture can damage
the camera and the camera control unit, and also
create the danger of electric shock.
4. Do not drop anything inside the camera or
camera control unit.
Dropping a metal part for example inside the cam
era and camera control unit could permanently
damage the unit.
5. Do not crush or pinch the camera cable.
Do not bend the camera cable into a curve whose
radius is small.
6. Never face the camera toward the sun.
Do not aim the camera at bright objects. Whether
the camera is in use or not, never aim it at the sun
or other extremely bright objects. Otherwise, bloom
ing or smear may be caused.
8. Clean the faceplate with care.
Do not clean the faceplate with strong or abrasive
detergents. Use lens tissue or a cotton tipped appli
cator and ethanol.
9. Put the tens cap on the camera after using the
camera.
After using the camera, turn the power of the cam
era control unit off, and put the lens cap on the
camera head.
10. Connect together only the camera head and the
GP-US522CU camera control unit.
Otherwise it may cause a improper operation.
11. Do not operate the camera and the camera
control unit beyond the specified temperature,
humidity, or power source ratings.
Use the camera and the camera control unit under
conditions where temperature is between 0°C -
+45°C (32“F - 113®F), and humidity is below 90%.
The input power resource is 12 V DC.
12. Ask a qualified service person for instailation.
All necessary procedures, with regards to instaila
tion of this product, should be made by qualified
service person for servicing or system installer.
— Cautions:
1. Connecting or disconnecting camera cable
to/from the camera control unit or camera
head must be done after turning off the
power of the camera control unit.
2. Use GP-CA522/4 (4 m/13 ft) camera cable
only to connect it between the camera head
and camera control unit. Do not extend the
cable.
7. Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when
cleaning the camera or the camera control unit
body.
Use a dry cloth to clean the camera or the camera
control unit when dirty.
In case the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild deter
gent and wipe gently.

CONNECTIONS
Cautions :
1. Keep the DC POWER ON/OFF switch in the OFF
position until all connections have been properly
made.
2. Connect the camera head and camera control unit.
Internal Sync Operation
1. Connect the camera cable between the camera
head and the camera control unit,
2,. Connect the coaxial cable with BNC connectors
between the video output connector of the camera
control unit and the video monitor or VCR,
1. Connect the camera cable between the camera
head and the camera control unit.
2.
Connect the coaxial cable with BNC connectors
between the video output connector of the camera
control unit and the video input connector of
Special Effects Generator (SEG), and between the
VBS/HD input connector of the camera control unit.
ecu
3. Connect the power cable between the DC 12 V
input terminals and the 12 V DC power supply unit
(obtained locally),
• Calculation method of maximum cable length
between camera control unit and power supply unit
is as follows,
11.5 V DC < Va - (R X 0.42 X L) < 16 VDC
L : Cable length (meter)
R : Resistance of copper wire (ii/meter)
Va : DC output voltage of power supply unit
L standard = Va - 12 / 0.42 x R (meter)
L minimum ^ Va -16 / 0.42 x R (meter)
L maximum ^ Va - 11.5 / 0.42 x R (meter)
Cautions:
1. Connect to 12 V DC (11.5 V - 16 V) class 2
power supply only.
2. To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, use a
UL listed wire VW-1, Style 1007 cable for 12 V
DC input terminals.
Connect the power cable between the DC 12 V

6. Synchronization Setting (SYNC)
This model accepts the VBS signal (color compos
ite video or blackburst signal) and VS signal (BA^
composite video or composite sync signal ) for the
gen-lock operation.
This camera also accepts the vertical drive pulse
(VD) with horizontal drive pulse (HD), and the verti
cal drive pulse (VD) only.
• The VS gen-lock mode has its own menu for hori
zontal and subcarrier phase adjustaments. When
the cable length of the video output or the gen-lock
input is changed, the horizontal phase must be re
adjusted.
• When the HD/VD or VD pulse is to be used, supply
them to the VBS/HD connector and the VD connec
tor on the rear panel of the camera control unit.

2. BAA/composite video signal (VS)
3. HD/VD signal
4. VD signal
5. Internal sync (INT)
• When the internal sync (INT) mode is to be used,
no gen-lock input signal should be supplied to the
gen-lock input connector on the rear panel of the
camera contrrol unit.
• When the VBS or VS gen-lock mode is to be used,
supply the gen-lock input signal to the gen-lock
input connector on the rear panel of the camera
control unit.
• The VBS gen-lock mode has its own menu for hori
zontal and subcarrier phase adjustments. When the
cable length of the video output or the gen-lock
input is changed, horizontal and subcarrier phase
must be re-adjustable.
6-2. VBS Gen-lock Mode (EXT(VBS))
1.
Move the cursor to the SYNC parameter.
2.
Connect the coaxial cable for the blackburst or
composite color video signal to the gen-lock input
connector.
Confirm that the INT parameter changed to
EXT(VBS) on the menu.
Caution: The gen-lock input signal should meet the
EIA RS-170A specifications and should not
contain jitter, such as a VCR playback signal,
as it could disturb synchronization.

►.)
Note;
After the fourth step, the adjustment returns to
the first step.
Notes;
• When the T cursor reaches the ■+' end, it jumps
back to ■-*. At the same time, SC COARSE is incre
mented by one step to enable a continuous adjust
ment. The reverse takes place when the T cursor
reaches
theend.
For more accurate adjustment, supply both the
original camera video output signal and the effect
output video signal (program output video signal)
of the special effects generator (SEG) to a vectorscope and compare the chroma phase of both
signals.
• To reset SC FINE to the values preset at the facto

PREVENTION OF BLOOMING AND SMEAR
When the camera is aimed towards spotlights or other
bright lights or light reflecting objects, smear or bloom
ing may appear.
Therefore the camera should be operated carefully in
the vicinity of extremely bright objects to avoid smear or
blooming.
If the camera is aimed at the sun or very bright light,
such as laser beam, for a long period of time, the CCD
image sensor may be burned in and blemishes(white or
black dots) appears on the monitor screen
