1. CAUTIONS ON USE AND INSTALLATION

Carefully handle the units.

•

Do not drop, or give a strong shock or vibration to the camera. This may cause problems. Treat the camera cables carefully to prevent cable problems, such as cable breakdown and loosened connections.

Do not shoot intense light.

•

If there is an intense light at a location on the screen such as a spot light, a blooming and smearing may occur. When intense light enters, vertical stripes may appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. Ghosts may occur when there is an intense light near the object. In this case, change the shooting angle.

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.

Moire

•

When thin stripe patterns are shot, stripe patterns that are not actually there (moire) may appears as interference stripes. This is not a malfunction.

Operating ambient temperature and humidity.

•

Do not use the camera in places where temperature and humidity exceed the specifications. Picture quality will lower and internal parts may be damaged.

Be particularly careful when using in places exposed to direct sunlight. When shooting in hot places, 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.

Handling of the protection cap.

•

Keep the protection cap away from children. Children may put them into mouth or swallow them accidentally. The protection cap protects the image sensing plane when the lens is removed from the camera, do not throw away.

When not using the camera for a longtime.

•

Stop supplying power.

When cleaning the camera.

•

Always turn off the power and clean with a piece of soft dry cloth. Do not use benzine, alcohol, thinner, household detergents, chemically treated cloths, etc. If used, coating and printed letters may be discolored. When cleaning the lens, use a lens cleaning paper, etc.

Avoid using or storing the camera in the fol-

•

lowing places:

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

rubber or vinyl products for a long period of time.

5. 2 Cautions on Connection

• When connecting the camera cables, be sure to turn off the camera and the other equipment connected.

• We suggest using a C mount lens made for a 3CCD camera.

When using another lens, the best camera performance of this camera may not be obtained. (For example, low resolution may occur, focus may be lost through the range of a zoom lens, and

flare, ghost or shading may occur) Furthermore, in order to avoid damaging the mounting portion of the camera head, use a lens which

has projection dimension from the mounting base of less than 0.157"(4mm).

• For DC power supply connecting to DC IN 12V terminal, use UL listed and/or CSA approved ungrounding type AC adaptor with the specifications described below.

Notes

AWB (Automatic white balance)

• Set the MODE to AWB on the WHT BAL menu. Perform the C.TEMP (color temperature conversion) setting, if necessary. (Refer to the item "7.2 (3) WHT BAL (White balance)".) 3200K : Appropriate for indoor shooting. 5600K : Appropriate for outdoor shooting.

• If the index menu/menu is displayed, press the [DISP] button to disable the character display on the menu.

• Shoot a known white object that fills the screen and push [DATA UP] button for approx. 1 second.

• The character AWB blinks on the screen when the AWB starts.

• The character AWB stops blinking when the AWB finishes, and the result is displayed for approx. 1

second.

Adjust white balance by displaying the white object inside the area set by AWB menu and pressing the [DATA UP] button.

When the shutter mode is E.TRG, AWB is not available.

Meaning

6. 2 Gain

When the image is dark even if the lens iris is open, change the gain (video gain) to get the proper video level. For the gain adjustment of the unit, MANU (Manual) and OFF (0 dB) modes are provided. Select the mode on

the GAIN menu. (Refer to the item "7.2 (2) GAIN (Video gain)".)

MANU (Manual gain)

Gain adjustment is performed on the GAIN menu. The adjustment range is from -3dB to 18dB in 1dB steps. (Refer to the item "7.2 (2) (2.1) (a) Changing the gain in MANU mode".)

OFF

Gain is fixed at 0 dB.

6. 3 Shading Correction

Due to the lens used or the environmental condition, vertical color shading may occur at the top and bottom of the screen. In this case, the shading correction can decrease the color shading. For the shading correction of the unit, MANU (Manual shading correction) and OFF (no shading correction) modes are provided. Select the mode on the PROCESS menu. (Refer to the item "7.2 (4) (4.5) Changing shading correction mode".)

MANU (Manual Shading)

Perform the correction amount setting on the PROCESS menu, confirming with a monitor or a waveform monitor. (Refer to the "7.2 (4) (4.6) Changing the manual shading correction setting".)

OFF

The status is no shading correction.

* The shading correction is effective when the lens iris or zoom ratio is fixed. Use the unit with SHAD.

OFF for variable lens conditions.
