1. General
This color video camera employs a 1/3” SONY solid-state, charge coupled
imaging device, and is equipped with a newly developed DSP (Digital Signal
Processor) for video signal processing to provide high color fidelity and a
sharp, stable picture.
2. Features
1. Accepts IR illumination for surveillance in total darkness. Delivers color
images in daylight and automatically switches to black-white images at
night.
2. 420 lines of horizontal resolution and high quality video utilizing digital
processing
3. 0.015lux (@ F0.75) Minimum illumination and signal-to-noise ratio of 48 dB
is achieved by employing a highly sensitive image sensor with micro lenses
and low noise circuit design.
4. High quality picture –A digital signal processor performs digital horizontal
and vertical aperture enhancement to produce a high quality picture.
5. A newly developed intelligent wide range Auto Tracing White Balance (ATW)
that automatically adjusts the tone according to the color temperature of the
light source.
6. Smart digital control Auto BLC, the combination of Histogram equalizer and
Central windows weighting BLC functions ensure for use against any
unusual lighting conditions.
7. Advanced Auto Exposure System for both fixed iris and auto iris lenses
controls the amount of light to ensure optimum video signal.
8. Internal or Line-lock external sync.
To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or covers.
There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Contact a qualified service person if necessary.

In this mode, the color temperature is monitoring
continuously, and the white balance is set automatically by
internal microcontroller.
The operating color temperature range is from 2500°K to
9500°K (approximately.)
This mode is the default setting when shipped from the
factory.
1.4 AWB mode—Conventional auto white balance
WB1=0, WB2=1 , WB3=1
1.5 Push to lock mode --- set the Dip SW. WB1=0,
WB2=1 , WB3=1
If the camera is used in conditions as described below.
o The subject is illuminated by several different light sources
A sodium lamp, mercury vapors lamp or special effects lamp is
o
used.
o The subject has a single color, like blue, red, etc.
A picture with proper tone may not be obtained, in such case
o
please adjust the tone while observing the picture on a color monitor
1.6 After setting the dip switches into “push to lock” mode,
point the camera at a white object and bring it into focus.
Point at the subject to fulfill the TV screen.
Use a light to illuminate the subject.
1.6.1 Press the set button, to optimize the picture color.
1.7 Manual mode white balance - set the Dip SW. WB1=0,
WB2=0, WB3=1
1.7.1 When the dip SW. setting is set to MWB, use the
up/down SW. to adjust.

(CCD IRIS mode)
If you are using a fixed or manual iris lens, please select
this mode to control the exposure with the electronic
shutter. The range of the shutter speed is from 1/60 to
1/100,000 sec.
1.10 AES LOW Mode (AE/ME=AE, FLOFF/FL=FL
position)
In order to reduce blurring under low light, in this mode, the
shutter is set from 1/100 sec. NTSC to 100,000 sec
continuously.
1.11 Auto Iris Mode (AE/ME=AE, CCD-I / AUTO
IRIS = CCD-I position)
If you are using an auto iris lens, please select this
mode, In this mode, the shutter speed is fixed to 1/60 sec.
NTSC.
1.12 Auto iris With Shutter speed Mode
(AE/ME=AE, AI SHUT at “1” position)
This mode has same function as auto iris mode, but
with selectable shutter speed by user.
This mode is very useful for the application that allows
capturing of fast moving objects with higher shutter speed
and adequate depth of field. Please refer to table 1 in the
ME section for shutter speed selection.

7. Auto Back-light Compensation
BLC ON
BLC BLCOFF
This intelligent auto BLC is a newly developed digital light level control system, it is
activated automatically by screen histogram (contrast) and 225 area window
weighting integration to control iris gain and white balance simultaneously, so that
the optimum object light level can be achieved.
BLC BLCOFF
1.13 Central Window Weighted average Backlight compensation
This method is best used in cases where the main subject is fixed within the
screen.
BLC OFF
1.14 Histogram Backlight compensation
This method is best used in cases where the main subject moves about within
the screen image.
1.15 The combination of two types of Backlight makes it easier to arrange
the compensation operation to match the imaging conditions and installation
location.
Note: Compensation may be insufficient under extremely bright conditions.
8. Infra-Red projection
In a low light environment, a standard color camera cannot obtain a clear picture
with an IR illuminator. This camera has been specially designed with the capability
to accept most IR projection, delivering a clear black and white picture under
absolute darkness.
The Infrared wavelength is from 800nm to 1000nm.
The focus may vary slightly with IR wavelength due to lens diffraction to long-wave.
When installing the camera with an IR projector, please check the focus under IR
illumination and normal light conditions, to find an adequate medium focusing
position.
It is recommended to close the lens aperture one or two stops to increase the depth
of field and compensate for the lens diffraction.
