Introduction The DAGE-MTI DC-200 is a compact color camera based upon a single 1/3” Interline CCD that provides a high resolution color image. The CCD employs a state of the art microlens design to increase the light gathering capability of the CCD. Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is employed to provide ultimate video enhancement and function.

Power The red LED located on the camera front lights when power is supplied to the camera. The camera requires approximately 200mA at 12VDC. The external power supply, Dage P/N 738044-02, provides the correct power to the camera. Video The Video BNC connector provides a NTSC (or PAL) composite video signal to be terminated into 75 Ω. For improved video performance, the Y/C video output signal should be used when possible.
Operation Connect the DC-200 to the OSD Remote and Monitor, then apply Power. Push the MENU button on the remote to activate the On Screen Display Menu, which should be similar to the display shown in figure 2. By pressing the MENU button again, the settings displayed will be stored and menu display will turn off. Figure 2: OSD Menu The active editable menu function will be flashing. Use the UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT buttons to move through menu items and change settings.
For example, to change the shutter setting from off to auto: 1. Press MENU. WHITE BALANCE will be flashing. 2. Press DOWN. SHUTTER will be flashing. 3. Press RIGHT. OFF will be flashing. 4. Press UP or DOWN to scroll through the available settings, when AUTO appears, stop. 5. Press MENU to store AUTO and turn off display, or press LEFT then UP or DOWN to edit other menu items in a similar matter.
Auto (ATW): This setting places the camera into Auto Tracking White balance mode. In this mode the camera continuously measures the object color temperature and adjusts the white balance automatically. There must be adequate white area in the scene and illumination to perform the white balance. Manual: The Manual White Balance mode allows the user to set the white balance. Adjustment is confirmed with a monitor or vector scope. White balance must be readjusted when light intensity is changed.
Shutter (Electronic Shutter) Off: Camera is set to standard 1/60 (1/50 PAL) second shutter. No excessive light shuttering is performed. Camera gain can be in Auto or Manual (AGC ON or OFF), but if illumination exceeds the minimum gain of the camera, overload of the video signal results. If viewing high illumination scenes, then set shutter to AUTO or one of the manual settings. Auto: The exposure time is controlled automatically from 1/60 (1/50 PAL) to 1/10,000 second to obtain the video level set.
Back Light If the scene has too much Back Light (light behind the subject) the AGC (Automatic Gain Control) and Auto Shutter circuits may adjust to the back light instead of the subject. Use the Pattern which provides the best picture. The Back Light function works only when AGC and/or Auto Shutter are on and the illumination level is sufficient for the automatic circuits to function. Ptrn.1: Provides highest amount of compensation. Ptrn.2: Provides moderate amount of compensation.
Focus Adjustment (mechanical back-focus) The Back-Focus is calibrated at the factory and should not need readjustment, however if adjustment is necessary follow the procedure below: 1. Loosen the set screws on the top and bottom of front casting with a 1.5mm hex wrench. 2. Set the lens to maximum aperture and to ∞ focus position. 3. View an object which is 20M or more away, then adjust lens mount ring until the image is in focus. 4. Tighten the set screws.
