This product is 3CCD color camera with digital video output. 1. CAUTIONS ON USE AND INSTALLATION • Carefully handle the units. • Do not drop, or give a strong shock or vibration to the camera. This may cause problems. Treat the camera cables carefully to prevent cable problems, such as cable breakdown and loosened connections. • Do not shoot intense light. If there is an intense light at a location on the screen such as a spot light, a blooming and smearing may occur.

7. MODE SETTING BY ON SCREEN DISPLAY Various settings can be controlled on the unit by using the on screen menu displayed on the monitor. The contents once set are memorized even if the power source is turned off, so it is unnecessary to set again when using the unit next time. When the setting is performed, select the menu of the item to be set. 7. 1 Using the Menus When the power is turned on, the normal screen showing only the video signal appears.
7. 2 Menus • Select the menu to change the setting by referring the item "7.1 Using the Menus".) • When the [MENU UP], [MENU DOWN] buttons are pushed, the "→" on the screen moves up and down.

7. 3 Synchro. Scan Operation The shutter speed can be set by the double horizontal scanning period (2H) or by the frame. ( 1 ) Setting by 2H 2H/1592H ~ 1590H/1592H (2H/1060H ~ 1058H/1060H at 30fps and E.30fps of Partial Scanning, 2H/774H ~ 772H/774H at 40fps and E.40fps of Partial Scanning) stands for the setting by the 2H and the shutter speed can be set by the 2H (62.8 µs). ( 2 ) Setting by the frame 2FRM to 512FRM stand for the setting (long period exposure) by the frame.
7. 4 E. TRG (External trigger) Charge begins to accumulate after the trigger input to CC1 of the DIGITAL terminal, and 1 frame images are output. There are four modes: 1P SNR, 1P SR, PW SNR, PW SR. ( 1 ) 1P SNR (1 Pulse Trigger Sync Non Reset) Charge begins to accumulate after the trigger input to CC1 of the DIGITAL terminal, and 1 frame images are output. (1.
( 2 ) 1P SR (1 Pulse Trigger Sync Reset) Charge begins to accumulate after the trigger input to CC1 of the DIGITAL terminal, the vertical sync signal is reset and frame images are output. (2.
( 3 ) PW SNR (Pulse width trigger SYNC-NON RESET) The trigger input to CC1 of the DIGITAL terminal develops 1 frame images. (3.
( 4 ) PW SR (Pulse width trigger SYNC-RESET) The trigger input to the CC1 of the DIGITAL terminal develops 1 frame images. (4.
7. 5 Partial Read ( 1 ) Partial Scanning OFF (All pixels scanning) In this mode, all pixels independent signal from the DIGITAL connector is output each 1/20 second (Line order output). Video interval image 1/20s (1592H) ( 2 ) Partial Scanning ON In this mode, the pixel signal of the vertical center portion from the DIGITAL connector is output. In the E.30fps or E.40fps mode, the partial scanning and the all pixels scanning can be switched by the DIGITAL terminal (CC2: partial scanning control signal).
