Preface This camera employs new 2/3q 1 million-pixel IT CCD [1280(H)k720(V)], realizing a compact light-weight system including the optical system. Also, the newly developed CCD having an IT configuration suited for higher picture quality and the development of low-noise, high-speed amplifiers have enabled the realization of high sensitivity, high S/N ratio, and wide dynamic range. With the newly developed digital signal processing LSI mounted on the camera head, it performs signal processing such as GAMMA, KNEE and DTL matrix, and CCD flaw correction based on a new system, intending to improve the maneuverability with multi-function, high-quality, and high stability peculiar to a digital system. Making the best use of the features of a small-sized self-contain camera, it is accommodated in the camera housing and able to provide high-quality HD pictures as an multi-purpose digital camera. Features New 2/3q 1 million-pixel CCD is employed. [1280(H) k720(V)] 1 million-pixel CCD is 2/3q in size, being compact and light-weight. The camera section is equipped with a high picture quality digital signal processing LSI. 10 Bit, 74 MHz high picture quality digital processing after the process circuit. New type CCD flaw correcting function. High reliability, multi-function, and improvement of maneuverability are realized. Max. +62 dB gain-up is possible. (Memory addition, CCD pixel addition mode included) Performance improvement by new-generation IT High sensitivity, wide dynamic range and low smear are realized by CCD most suited for high-quality pictures. High response and high resolution are realized by driving H-CCD at 74 MHz. Multiple functions Multi-function DTL such as high-luminance DTL and skin DTL. Two HD-SDI output lines. Capable of coping with various variable frames including 24P (option). Right and left, top and bottom picture reversing function. 4 Precautions DON'TS Do not attempt to disassemble the camera or other units. In order to prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking, etc. The camera contains sensitive components which could be damaged by improper handling or storage. Do not let the lens remain uncapped when the camera is not use. If the lens is not installed, do not leave the lens mount hole uncovered. Do not touch the surface of the lens or prism. Do not use strong of abrasive detergents when cleaning the camera body. Do not aim the camera toward the sun, no matter whether it is turned on or not. Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture, and do not try to operate the equipment in wet conditions. Do not operate the camera if it becomes wet. Do not operate the camera outdoors during a lightning storm. Do not use the camera in an extreme environment where high temperatures or high humidity exist. Do not leave the camera turned on when not in use. Do not unnecessarily turn the camera power on and off repeatedly. Do not block the ventilation slots. Do not cover the port otherwise block ventilation during operation. Internal heat buildup can cause a fire. DO'S Refer any servicing to qualified service personnel. Handle the camera with care. Protect the precision made lens by placing the lens cap over when the camera is not in use. If the lens is not installed, protect the surface of the prism by placing the body cap into the lens mount hole. Use a mild blower or lens cleaning tissue designed for coated lenses, to clean the surface of the lens or prism in the event that it should become dirty. Use a dry cloth to clean the camera if it is dirty. In case the dirt is hard to remove, use mild detergent and wipe gently. Use caution when operating the camera in the vicinity of spot lights or bright lights, as well as light reflecting objects and surfaces. Take immediate action if ever the camera should become wet. Turn the power off and have the unit checked by an authorized service facility. Follow normal safety precaution to avoid personal injury. Use the camera in an environment where the temperature is within 32°F ­ +104°F (0°C ­ +40°C), and the relative humidity is within 30% ­ 90% (no condensation). Always turn the power off when the camera is not going to be used. Operate the camera only when there is adequate ventilation. Cooling fan There is internally provided a cooling fan. Since the cooling fan is a consumable part, replace it after about 50,000 hours of operation. (Be sure to ask the dealer for the replacement.) 5 Major Operating Controls and Their Functions _ Front Panel 3 4 1 2 1 Lens Mount 2/3q standard bayonet type (B4 mount) lens is installed. 2 Lens Fixing Ring Knob Lens is fixed by turning the knob counterclockwise. 3 Cable Clamp Used to clamp the lens cable. 4 Lens Connector [LENS] Used to connect the camera cables of the lens.
