AUTO: If you select X32 AUTO, for example, the sensitivity is raised automatically to X32 max. When AUTO is selected, AGC is automatically set to ON. FIX: If you select X64 FIX, for example, the sensitivity is raised to just X64. Notes: • The higher the DNR level becomes, the more after images and the less noise you will see.
mode is automatically set to internal sync pulse, and the menu is not displayed.) Notes: • While the SENS UP function is active, the increased sensitivity may cause noise, spots or a whitish phenomenon to appear in the picture. This is a normal phenomenon. • X64 FIX does not appear for the SENS UP parameter on the system controller setup menu. • In case of using the WV-CU204 or WV-CU254 Controller, status does not appear correctly for the SENS UP parameter on the setup menu.
• Whenever the multiplexed vertical drive pulse (VD2) is supplied to the camera from an external equipment such as a Matrix Switcher, the camera sync mode is automatically switched to the VD2 mode. • When the VBS or VS gen-lock mode is to be used select INT from this menu and supply the gen-lock input signal to the Gen-lock Input Connector on the rear panel. • The VBS gen-lock mode has a submenu for horizontal and subcarrier phase adjustments.
8. Adjust the horizontal phase by pressing L or M. The adjustable range is 0 - 2.0 µs. 9. Move the cursor to SC COARSE. 10. Press L or M to match the chroma phase of the camera’s video signal, when observed at the output of the Special Effect Generator (SEG) or Switcher, as closely as possible to the colour of the original scene. (SC COARSE adjustment can be incremented in steps of 90 degrees (4 steps) by pressing L or M.) Note: After the fourth step, the adjustment returns to the first step. 3.
