5. CONNECTIONS AND OPERATIONS

Notes on connecting

•Power plugs of connected equipment must be disconnected before installations.

•A 75-ohm coaxial cable with connector (3C-2V or 5C-2V) is required for standard
connection.

•For details of wiring and operation of equipment to be connected, refer to their
operation manuals.

• Lens, power supply with cable, connectors and coaxial cable are not supplied with
the camera.

CAUTION: Never input 24V AC and 12V DC at the same time.

Do not overload power supply

The recommended power supplies for this camera are 6 watt minimum for each 24V
AC UL Listed Class 2 power supply or 12V DC power supply.

5-2. Line-Lock Control

• Matching the vertical synchronization with the power frequency is called the Line-Lock.

• This function is activated when the SYNC menu is selected to LL.

• When two or more cameras are switched by the video switcher for viewing by a monitor TV, the
vertical sync. phase can be locked with the power frequency, and a stable vertical sync. is obtained
without being disturbed at the time of switching.

CAMERA1

CAMERA2 VIDEO SWITCHER

Note:

• The camera is synchronized to the power frequency of 60 ±1 Hz covering a normal fluctuation of
the power frequency. However, the camera may not cover a large fluctuation caused from the
power generated by an engine generator, etc.

•It takes about 10 seconds or more until a stable synchronization is obtained after the power is
turned on. This is normal, because several seconds are required to stabilize the camera against
power noise.

• Refer to "7. LINE-LOCK PHASE" for adjustment.

7. LINE-LOCK PHASE

If two or more cameras within a system have
different AC line phases are switched by the video
switcher, the picture on the monitor TV will fluctuate
vertically.
Connect 24V AC input lines of all cameras so that
they all share the same phase.
If you still have vertical fluctuation, adjust the
V.PHASE controller.
