If you have selected the ENTRY 3, the frame flashes for about 5 seconds after the START/STOP button is pressed. Within that period, repeat changing the angle of the subject so that the camera recognizes the various brightness of the subject.

Notes

• If you use the ENTRY 2 or 4 mode for a subject that can be recognized even in the ENTRY 1 mode, the subject might be hardly recognized. This is because the color and brightness the camera can recognize are limited in the ENTRY 2 and 4 modes.

• Even if you try changing the ENTRY mode, a subject still might not be recognized depending on its characteristics. In such a case, try changing the subject to the one whose color is more bright or the one whose color is different from that of its backdrop, or changing the lighting.

• There might be a case in which the AT function will not activated in any way depending on the size, color, brightness and so on of a subject.

Change Taking Place in the Picture

— MD (Motion Detector) function

If the position of the camera is fixed, you can set the camera to detect a change taking place in a picture. When the camera detects a change taking place in the picture, the frame appears, showing the portion in which the change takes place, and the lamp at the side of the lens lights up red. (At that time, the detection signal is output from the VISCA IN.) You can specify up to two portions in which the change is detected, by using the two frames (FRAME 1 and FRAME 2) that you can change in position and size as desired.

Detecting the Change Taking Place in the Picture (continued)

Fine-tuning the settings

The MD function works in the following manner: the camera memorizes a picture of a certain moment as the “reference picture,” and compares the current picture with the reference picture to detect whether or not a change takes place. Although the camera is factory-set to refresh a reference picture after a certain period of time, you can change the timing when a reference picture is refreshed or can set the camera not to refresh the reference picture, according to conditions under which the camera is used. In addition, you can adjust the parameter that sets the camera to detect a certain kind of change such as color and brightness.

Adjusting the value of each parameter

At the step 5 of “Fine-tuning the setting,” you can adjust the value of each parameter as desired. Refer to the following information provided below and adjust the value of each parameter while checking how the detection operation is performed.

Parameter

BRIGHT* (Sensitivity to brightness)

HUE* (Sensitivity to hue)

SIZE* (Sensitivity to size)

REFRESH* (Reference picture refreshing timing)

DISPLAY (Signal output duration)

Content/Tips in setting

Sets the sensitivity to a change in brightness. The lesser the value, the more sensitively the camera detects the change. Adjust this value within the range in which an error does not occur.

Sets the sensitivity to a change in color. The lesser the value, the more subtle change in color the camera detects. Adjust this value when the camera hardly detects the change with only the BRIGHT adjusted, in such a case when the brightness of a subject to be captured is almost identical to that of its backdrop.

Sets the sensitivity to the size of the frame area being taken up by a changed portion. Adjust this value in such a case when you wish to have the camera detect only a greater change.

Sets the period of time for which the reference picture is retained.

Sets the period of time for which the detection signal continues to be generated once a change has been detected.

Adjustable range

0 to14, 15 (Parameter disabled)

0 (5°) to 14 (75°), 15 (Parameter disabled)

0 (approx.

0.3%) to 15 (approx. 20%)

0 (0.07 sec.) to 15 (60 min.)

0 (0.07 sec.) to 14 (30 min.), 15 (continuous)

*1 After the value of the BRIGHT has been changed, the

value of the HUE is automatically set to 15 and the value of the SIZE to 0.

*2 After the value of the HUE has been changed, the value

of the BRIGHT is automatically set to 15 and the value of the SIZE to 0.

*3 Be sure to adjust the value of the SIZE after adjusting

the values of the BRIGHT and HUE.

• The camera might not be able to detect a change if both the size of the frame and the value of the SIZE are too small.

*4 Can be adjusted only when the camera is in the MODE

1 or MODE 2.

Precautions

2 Remove the stopper and connector.

• The name plate indication operating voltage, power consumption, etc. is located on the bottom exterior.

• After operating the unit with an AC power adaptor, disconnect the AC power adaptpr from the wall outlet if the set is not to be used for an extended period of time. The POWER switch on the rear of the main unit, does not turn the AC adaptor off.

Brightness of a subject

Color Video Camera might not work with its best performance in a place where brightness exceeds the illumination range (such as a place exposed to direct sunlight).

Avoid specialized application

Avoid using Color Video Camera for monitoring application where it would be forced to focus on a stationary object for a long period of time. Also avoid focusing the camera on an extremely bright object such as sunlight or a fluorescent lamp. Otherwise the color filter might be damaged.

Precaution on copyright

Television programs, pictures, magazines, and other materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized recording or storing of such materials violates the provision of the copyright laws.

Connector

3 Remove the lithium battery together with the

board.

Dispose of the lithium battery according to the local law.

About backup

The memories of the settings such as the clock, camera's position and MD function are erased when the POWER switch on the main unit is set to OFF. To retain those memories, set the BACK UP switch, at the rear of the camera head, to ON.

When you discard Color Video Camera

For environmental reasons, take out a lithium battery from the camera and discard it accordingly.

1 Remove the screw at the rear of the camera head

using a Phillips type screw driver and detach the cabinet.

BACKUP

Notes

• In this unit, the built-in lithium battery acts as the power source for retaining the memories and is kept charged as long as the unit is used. If the unit is used for shorter period of time with the BACKUP switch set to ON, however, the battery is gradually discharged. Besides, if you do not use the unit at all for almost 12 weeks, the battery is completely discharged. To retain the memories of the settings, you should recharge the battery.

• To recharge the battery, plug in the unit to an AC outlet with the AC power adaptor and leave it for approximately 48 hours with the POWER switch on the main unit set to ON.
