VTC-C594DN
1/3" Hi-Res Day/Night Color CCD Camera
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, do not expose
the appliance to rain or moisture
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.

1.2.2 Line-Lock Phase Adjustment
The vertical phase of the camera video signal can be matched to the phase of the
AC power line.
Using a dual-trace oscilloscope to observe the video output signal
PHASE
(V-rate) of the camera and adjust the Line-lock Phase control buttons
to line up the phase of both signals
Caution: The adjustment must be
made by qualified servicing
person or system installer.
