When performing adjustments using the 9 colors chart, adjust the picture frame as shown in Fig. 6-1-5. (Standard picture frame)

2) Clear chart (Standard picture frame (WIDE end))

Set the zoom to the WIDE end, and ensure the distance of about 5 cm from the lens front surface to the clear chart. Shoot the clear chart, and adjust the camera position so that a black part of the chart does not fall in all directions of the screen.

3) Clear chart (Standard picture frame (TELE end))

Set the zoom to the TELE end, and ensure the distance of about 30 cm from the lens front surface to the clear chart. Shoot the clear chart, and adjust the camera position so that a black part of the chart does not fall in all directions of the screen.

4) Clear chart (For low temp. def.)

Set the zoom to the TELE end, and ensure the distance of below 1 cm from the lens front surface to the clear chart. Shoot the center of the chart.

4. Preparation of Aging Environment

To detect a high temperature defect exactly, the aging environment in which the temperature is kept to 40°C - 45°C is required. If there is not the environment of temperature 40°C to 45°C, prepare the aging environment by the method given below.

Thermometer

Small pattern box (PTB-1450)

Cardboard box, etc.

Make a transparent window with film, etc.

Camera to be aged (Connect the USB cable and the AC adaptor to the camera)

Place cassette cases under the camera

Attach the height 40mm foot to the four corners

Fig. 6-1-8

1) Prepare a box (such as cardboard box) of 400 mm width × 300 mm depth × 350 mm height. And attach the height 40 mm foot to the

four corners of box.

2) Make a transparent window with film, etc. to check the camera status during the aging.

3) Make a small hole in the box and insert a thermometer to measure the inside temperature.

Note 1: Fix the thermometer at the position free from inter ference with the camera.

4) Cover the small pattern box (PTB-1450), which was turned on, with the prepared box, and wait until the temperature reaches 40°C to 45°C. Note 2: To adjust the temperature, move the box. Locating the box in the center of the small pattern box (PTB-

1450) allows the temperature to rise, or shifting it to either side allows the temperature to drop.

Temperature rises when the box is located in the center

Temperature drops when the box is shifted to either side

Fig. 6-1-9

5) When the temperature reached 40°C to 45°C, raise the box and place the camera which connects the USB cable and the A C adapter on the top surface of the small pattern box (PTB-1450), and after turning on the camera, cover with the box again. Note 3: As the top surface of the small pattern box (PTB-1450) is hot, place cassette cases under the camera,

avoiding a direct touch of camera to the top surface.

6) Adjusting the temperature to keep it to 40°C - 45°C, perform the aging for more than 30 minutes.

1-1-3. Using Method of SEUS

The application for adjustment (SEUS) is used to change the coefficient for calculating the signal processing or EVR data. The SEUS performs two-way communication between PC and set through the USB terminal. The two-way communication result data can be written to the nonvolatile memory.

1. Connection

1) Connect the HASP key to the USB terminal of the PC.

2) Connect the PC and set with the USB cable.

3) Confirm that the set starts in the USB mode.

4) Start the SEUS on the PC.

5) Click [Connect] on the SEUS screen. If the connection is normal, the SEUS screen will be as shown in Fig. 6-1-10, indicating the “connected” state.

Note: The SEUS will go in

turned off (for instance, by resetting the set). In such a case, click the “connected” state.

1-2. ADJUSTMENT PROGRAMS

The DSC-R1 is adjusted with the Automatic Adjustment Program and the Color Adjustment Program. The Automatic Adjustment Program automatically controls the adjustment operations that were formerly entered manually on the operation screen of the SEUS (some adjustments may be manually operated on the SEUS operation screen). The Color Adjustment Program automatically performs “Color Shading Adj. & Check” “AWB Adj. & Check” and “Liner Matrix Adj.” of Camera System Adjustment.

1-2-1. Automatic Adjustment Program

1. Precautions When Using Automatic Adjustment Program

1) The Automatic Adjustment Program writes the adjustment re-

sults such as EVR data to the set through two-way communication with the camera via the SEUS. Accordingly, the Automatic Adjustment Program must be used in the environment where the SEUS operates.

2) The program run time may vary depending on the environ-

ment of the personal computer used.

3) The SEUS must be already started on the PC when using the

Automatic Adjustment Program. With the SEUS not started, some adjustment items will take time in adjustment.

2. Start of Automatic Adjustment Program

Double-click the application file (DSC-R1 Auto-Adj Ver_1.[]r and the Automatic Adjustment Program will start.

9. Linear Matrix Adjustment 9-1. Preparation for Linear Matrix Adjustment (Getting

Reference Data)

This work gets the reference data used for linear matrix adjustment by using a camera on which the DSC-R1 runs normally. The gotten reference data is saved in a personal computer. Accordingly, once the reference data is gotten, this work is no longer needed unless the adjustment conditions (pattern box, 9 colors chart, etc.) are changed. The reference data is saved with the file name “GodRa wData.csv” in the directory where the color adjustment program (R1ColorAdjustment.exe) file exists. Note 1: The linear matrix adjustment will fail if an unadjusted

camera is used to get the reference data. The camera that has already been adjusted must be used.

[Adjusting method]

1) Start the color adjustment program (R1ColorAdjustment.exe).

2) Click the [Connect] button to activate the camera adjustment mode.

7) The camera capture picture is displayed on the screen to get and save the reference data.
