Genlock is delivered to the camera over Cat-5 with a level adjustment on the EZIM CCU. The ability to store settings on two discrete Scene buttons is included, and buttons for Auto White Balance, One Push White Balance and Auto Iris programming are also available.

The AW-HE120 HD PTZ Camera features a 20x zoom lens and a three (3), 1/3-type 2.2 megapixel CMOS imager sensors. The systems are available as a WallVIEW CCU HE120 System with the camera included, or as a Quick-

Connect CCU Kit, without the camera. The Quick-Connect CCU for the AW-HE120 has the ability to produce

Anatomy of the CCU Controlled Camera System

Image: The Quick-Connect CCU Front Panel Controls (left to right)

Tally Light: The blue LED tally light on the front panel is tied to the tally contacts on the rear panel allowing the

user to easily track which camera interface is being used in a multi-camera system by supplying a simple contact closure (i.e. from ProductionVIEW Super Joystick or ProductionVIEW HD).

LCD Display: Backlit (blue) display indicates which mode is active (CCU CONTROL or PTZ CONTROL). In CCU CONTROL mode, when a rotary encoder is touched, the name of the control being actuated and the value of that assigned parameter will be displayed.

Image: Magnification of Control Buttons and Rotary Encoders (from left to right)

CCU Control Switch: Backlit (blue) SPDT switch, lit when activated, blocks the incoming PTZ controls on the

RS-232 input and allows the end user to make adjustments to the camera image characteristics. When off or deactivated, PTZ information is passed to the camera and the front panel controls are deactivated to avoid latency.

Scene A and B: Two camera adjustment scenes (A & B) can be stored into microprocessor memory. When lit (backlit blue SPDT switch), the scene is activated. To store a scene, the user adjusts the controls and touches and holds the scene button down until the button blinks.

Detail: The Detail control sharpens or softens objects in the frame. Red & Blue Gain: The Red and Blue Gain encoders adjust the red and blue gain of the signal when AWB is

disengaged. Shift/WB Set: Shift on mode allows features that are below the CCU knob. Shift off mode allows features listed

above the CCU knob. The White Balance controls/adjusts the color levels automatically when engaged. Turn off AWB to manually adjust the Red and Blue gain.

WB Mode: Toggles between white balance modes AWB A, AWB B, ATW, 3200K, 5600K. AWB A or AWB B must be engaged to manually adjust the Red and Blue controls. See Panasonic manual.

Pedestal: Controls the absolute black level of an image. Chroma: Controls 7 levels of variability of the overall color of the image being captured. Gamma: Adjusts the overall brightness of an image.

Auto Iris: The Auto Iris mode automatically adjusts the iris and gain of the camera. To manually adjust the iris

or gain, turn off this control.

Manual Iris: The manual iris control allows the user to set the iris manual to one of the 18 settings available. Gain: The Gain control boosts the signal level when the iris is open all the way, and there is not enough lighting

available. To manually adjust the gain Auto Iris must be off.
