Panasonic's GP-US522/532 Industrial Digital Signal
Processing Colour 3-CCD Camera overcomes space limitations that have complicated many video applications.
The GP-US522/532 incorporates three 440 000-pixel 752
(H) x 582 (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 of 60 dB. This means a colour picture with high visual information content for excellent image
detail.
Because it features digital signal processing, the GPUS522/532 provides an exceptionally stable picture.

and wipe gently.
8. Clean the faceplate with care.
Do not clean the faceplate with strong or abrasive
detergents. Use lens tissue or a cotton tipped applicator and ethanol.
9. Put the lens cap on the camera after using the
camera.
After using the camera, turn the power of the camera
control unit off, and put the lens cap on the camera
head.
10. Do not connect units other than the camera head to
the GP-US522CU camera control unit.
Other connections may result in 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 installation.
All necessary procedures with regard to installation of
this product should be made by a qualified service person or system installer.
1. Connecting or disconnecting the 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 the GP-CA522/4 (4 m/13 ft) camera cable
only for connection between the camera head
and camera control unit. Do not extend the

adjustments and recording the colour 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 colour temperature is moni-
tored 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 a white chart.
2. Press the ITEM (AWC) button on the front
panel to set the white balance.
3. When the auto white balance is completed,
the auto warning indicator first blinks and then
goes off.
If the auto warning indicator remains lit, repeat the
above procedure for setting the auto white balance.
MANU : The white balance can be adjusted manually
with the red gain (R GAIN) and blue gain controls
(B GAIN).
9. Auto Warning Indicator
This indicator blinks while the white balance or black
balance is being automatically set. This indicator lights
continuously when the white balance or black balance
is set improperly. In this case, follow the auto white
balance or black balance setting procedure.
10. Red and Blue Gain Controls (R GAIN/B GAIN)
These controls are used to manually adjust the white
balance.
These controls only work when the white balance
selection switch (ATW/AWC/MANU) is set to MANU.
Turn the controls clockwise to increase the red and
blue signal levels, and counterclockwise to decrease.

disables Electronic Shutter Speed (SHUTTER)
mode.
OFF : Enables Electronic Shutter Speed (SHUTTER)
mode and disables Electronic Light Control (ELC)
mode.
