Test Sawtooth
Lens matching
A test sawtooth signal is normally only used for
adjustment procedures. Jumper X3 on Video processor
1 board provides a choice between two internal signals
or an external signal.
Internal signals
Set jumper X3 to position BC to get the nominal
sawtooth. This is used for checking amplitudes.
Set jumper X3 to position AB to get a small sawtooth
(approximately 25% nom.). This small sawtooth is
used for checking painting or colour temperature
ranges.
External signal
To inject an external test signal first set jumper X3 to
position CD (test input). Connect the external test
signal to connector X4-1/2. The nominal value of this
signal is 700 mV without sync.
The test sawtooth signal is switched on by means of
the Operate menu of the camera or the Setup 1 menu
of the MCP.
When a camera is supplied with a lens it is not
necessary to perform any of the following adjustments
as the lens is already matched to the camera. However,
if you wish to change to a different type of lens or the
lens is not supplied with your camera, back focus,
white shading and auto iris adjustment procedures
may have to be performed.
• Colour balance.
If required, perform the gain adjustment of the
preprocessor board and/or white shading adjustment
procedures, described in section 4.
• Auto Iris Adjustment
If a different lens either works too slow or overshoots
too much with the auto iris control, adjust the
potentiometer on the lens to obtain acceptable
operation. Refer to the lens documentation.
• Back Focus Adjustment
To adjust the back focus of the lens refer to the
documentation of the lens.

Private Data
Private data channels can be used for the transmission
of serial data via the triax cable. For example, electronic
scriptboard or character data for a video display unit
can be transmitted to the camera.
The tracker microphone intercom channel is used for
the data channel from camera head to base station.
The program intercom channel is used for the data
channel from base station to camera head. The input
and output signals are available on the auxiliary
connectors of the camera and base station (for camera
see the connectors and cables section). If a channel
is used for private data, then of course the original
functions are no longer available.
To select the function of the base station to camera
channel use S801 on the Audio/intercom board. Position
AB selects the Progr function (factory setting); position
AC selects the private data function.
To select the function of the camera to base station
channel use S802 on the Audio/intercom board. Position
AB selects the tracker microphone function (factory
setting); position AC selects the private data function.
Remember that the propagation-delay times are different
for different triax cable lengths, especially if a return
signal is involved. At maximum lengths of 2400
metres the total delay is at least 25 µsec. and can be
more than 30 µsec, depending on the type of triax
cable.
Data signal specifications:
Baudrate: 2400
Input level: TLL, possible RS232
