1. CAUTIONS ON USE AND INSTALLATION

•Handlingtheunit.

Do not drop, jolt, or vibrate, as this may result in

damage to the unit and may cause problems. Treat the
camera cables carefully to prevent cable problems,
such as breaks in the cable and loose connections.

•Installthecamerainalocationfreefromnoise.

If the camera or the cables are located near power
utility lines or a TV, etc. undesirable noise may appear
on the screen. In such a case, try to change the
location of the camera or the cable wiring.

•Operatingambienttemperatureandhumidity.

Do not use the camera in places where temperature

and humidity exceed the specifications. Picture quality
will deteriorate and internal parts may be damaged.

Be particularly careful when using in places exposed
to direct sunlight. When shooting in hot en vironments,
depending on the conditions of the object and the
camera (for example when the gain is increased),
noise in the form of vertical strips or white dots may
occur. This is not a malfunction.

•Whennotusingthecameraforextendedperiods

of time.

Switch the control unit off and disconnect the power
supply.

•Avoidusingorstoringthecamerainthefollowing

places:

Places filled with highly flammable and corrosive gas.
Places near gasoline, benzene, or paint thinner.
Places subject to strong vibration.
Places containing chemicals (such as pesticides),

rubber or vinyl products for extended periods of time.

•Thisproductisforindooruseonly.

The following descriptions are for a camera head “IK­4KH” connected to this camera control unit.

•Donotshootintenselight.

If a strong light is imaged, vertical stripes or traverse
bands may appear on the screen but this is not a
failure.

•Moire

A moire pattern is an interference pattern generated
when two repetitive line patterns overlap. This is not a
malfunction. Eliminating the repetitive line patterns, or
aligning the two patterns, will eliminate the moire.

•Handlingofthecameraheadandprotectioncap.

Keep the camera head and protection cap away
from children as they may pose a choking hazard.
The protection cap protects the image sensing plane
when the lens is removed from the camera head, do
not discard the protection cap.

•Whencleaningthecamera.

Unplug the power source before cleaning. Clean

with a soft dry cloth only. Do not use chemicals or

chemically treated cloths. Chemicals may damage
coatings and printed letters. When cleaning the lens,
use lens cleaning paper.

•Installationwithoutatripod.

Before installing the camera head, make sure that the
location can withstand the total weight of the camera
head.
If this is not the case, reinforce the area to prev ent the
unit from dropping, which may result in damage to the
unit or personal injury.

5. 2 Cautions on Connection

• When connecting the camera cables, be sure to turn off the camera control unit and any other equipment

connected to it.

• For DC power supply connecting to DC IN 12V terminal, use class II DC power supply approved according

to EN60950-1 in Europe. or use UL listed and/or CSA approved ungrounded type AC adaptor with the
specifications described below in U.S.A. or Canada.

Power supply voltage : 12V DC ±10%

Current rating : More than 1.5A
Ripple voltage : Less than 50 mV (p–p)
Connector : HR10A–7P–4S by HIROSE electronics Co. Ltd

Pins 1, 2 : +12V

Pins 3, 4 : GND

• If the securing screw on the connector of the camera cable loosens, noise may appear on the screen. Be sure

to tighten the connector completely.

• Only use the specic optional camera heads with this camera controller.
The use of any other camera heads may cause damage to the control unit and camera head.

• The video signal output of this camera control unit has no function for automatically selecting output according

to the monitor TV. Therefore, be sure to switch the output mode of this camera control unit according to the
monitor as no image will be displayed on the monitor if the camera output mode and the monitor input mode
do not match. For switching, refer to the item 6.6 “Switching of Video Signal Output”.

• SDI interface

The SDI (serial digital interface) is a high-speed serial interface standard used mainly in commercial video
equipment. This unit supports both HD-SDI and 3G-SDI.
When image output is “4K” or “1080p”, 3G-SDI output is used. When image output is “1080i”, HD-SDI output

is used.

Use a 3G/HD-SDI compatible cable to connect to the 3G/HD-SDI terminal.

Note:

The image may not appear on the monitor's screen immediately, depending on the conditions and the type of
monitor.

5. 3 Connector Pin Assignments

The rear panel of the camera control unit has the following connectors:

DC IN 12V; REMOTE; SYNC IN/OUT and 3G/HD-SDI A, B, C, D terminals. Use the appropriate cables to connect

with these connectors.
