Getting Started

Phenomena Specific to CMOS Image Sensors

Precautions

Operating or storage location

• Operating or storing the camera in the following locations may cause damage to the camera: – Extremely hot or cold places (Operating

temperature: 0

– Exposed in direct sunlight for a long time, or close

to heating equipment (e.g., near heaters) – Close to sources of strong magnetism – Close to sources of powerful electromagnetic

radiation, such as radios or TV transmitters – Locations subject to strong vibration or shock

• Use of a mobile phone close to this camera may cause a malfunction of the camera or affect the quality of images. You are cautioned to turn off any mobile phone near the camera.

Ventilation

To prevent heat buildup, do not block air circulation around the camera.

Transportation

When transporting the camera, repack it as originally packed at the factory or in materials equal in quality.

°C to 40°C [32°F to 104°F])

The following phenomena that may appear in images are specific to CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image sensors. They do not indicate malfunctions.

White flecks

Although the CMOS image sensors are produced with high-precision technologies, fine white flecks may be generated on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic rays, etc. This is related to the principle of CMOS image sensors and is not a malfunction.

The white flecks especially tend to be seen in the following cases:

• when operating at a high environmental temperature

• when you have raised the gain (sensitivity)

This symptom may be improved by turning the camera off and then on again.

Aliasing

When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may appear jagged or flicker.

Focal plane

Owing to the characteristics of the pickup elements (CMOS image sensors) for reading video signals, subjects that quickly move across the screen may appear slightly skewed.

Getting Started

Cleaning

• Use a blower to remove dust from the lens or optical filter.

• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the external surfaces of the camera. Stubborn stains can be removed using a soft cloth dampened with a small quantity of detergent solution, then wipe dry.

• Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners as they may damage the surface finishes.

Maintenance

The camera mechanism may cause abnormal noise due to wear and lubrication loss after a long period of use. To maintain optimum performance, we recommend periodical maintenance. If abnormal noise occurs, consult with your Sony dealer.

Note on laser beams

Laser beams may damage a CMOS image sensor. You are cautioned that the surface of a CMOS image sensor should not be exposed to laser beam radiation in an environment where a laser beam device is used.

Flicker

If recording is made under lighting produced by discharge tubes, such as fluorescent, sodium, or mercury-vapor lamps, the screen may flicker, colors may vary, or horizontal stripes may appear distorted. In such cases, turn the FLICKER CANCEL function on (see page 34). In some cases, such phenomena may not be improved with the FLICKER CANCEL function. It is recommend to set the shutter speed to 1/100 sec. in the areas of 50 Hz power supply frequency and to 1/60 in the areas of 60 Hz.

or SD2) output without inserting an

Built-in interface card slot

The camera is equipped with an interface card slot for the optional BRBK-HSD1 HD/SD-SDI Output Card and BRBK-MF1 HD Optical Multiplex Card. Use of these Interface Boards gives the camera the capability of having versatile image output formats.

HD CMOS camera with high image quality and high-resolution remote shooting

• The newly developed 3CMOS camera system that incorporates 1/4-type ClearVid CMOS image sensors with a total of 1,120,000 picture elements allows shooting of high-definition images, providing superior picture quality with high sensitivity and lower smear level.

• Shooting an image using the 1080i (effective interlaced scanning: 1080 lines) high-definition format, which is equivalent to the HDTV broadcast, is enabled. The HD format can be switched (1080/59.94i or 1080/50i) with the switch at the bottom of the camera.

• A volume of information of four times the capacity of a normal TV broadcast and camera image shot in 16:9 aspect ratio provides a theater-like wide screen picture.

Excellent optical performance allowing superior quality shooting

• Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar ® T* lens is adopted. Use of the multi-reflection reduction coating minimizes unnecessary light reflection inside the lens and significantly reduces flare and ghost to provide a realistic image with high contrast and superior color reproduction.

• The lens has a focal length of 37.4 mm to 748 mm (equivalent to a 35-mm camera). Using the optional

Long-distance image transmission and pan/tilt/zoom control

• Combined use of the BRBK-MF1 HD Optical Multiplex Card, CCFC-M100HG Optical Fiber Cable and BRU-H700 Optical Multiplex Unit, and Sony’s unique camera connection technology and optical digital multiplex transmission technology allows a long distance transmission of camera images up to 1,000 m (3,281 feet) and pan/tilt/zoom control signals. Use of the optical fiber cable enables an economical and easy system configuration for long distance.

• The supplied ceiling brackets allow installation of the camera on a ceiling or a shelf, etc. in a high position.

VISCA camera protocol supported

• The camera is equipped with both RS-232C and RS422 communication interfaces. As the camera supports the industry-standard VISCA camera protocol, up to 7 cameras can be connected and remotely controlled at a high communication speed of 38,400 bps.

• The optional RM-BR300 Remote Control Unit allows easy camera operations.
