Chapter 4 Adjustments and settings for recording

4-8 Menu-driven function setup

The functions can be set up using the unit’s menus.

4-8-1 Setting the USER SW GAIN switching

In addition to the standard gain settings of L, M and H, the S.GAIN (super gain) mode function that provides an analog gain increase of 30 dB or more and the DS.GAIN (digital super gain) mode function that provides a cumulative-type gain increase can be used with this unit.

To select these functions, perform menu operations to open the <USER SW GAIN> screen from the OPERATION page and select the gain settings to be used using the S.GAIN item and DS.GAIN item.

If, for instance, the S.GAIN and DS.GAIN functions have been allocated to the USER MAIN button, USER1 button or USER2 button, three different types of gain increases can be made by the combinations of the three USER buttons.

1)To increase the gain without increasing the perceptible noise

Combine the L, M or H value with the DS.GAIN function.

2)To increase the normal analog gain (in which case, the amount of noise will increase)

Use only the S.GAIN function.

3)To use the unit in the ultra-high-sensitivity mode

Use the S.GAIN function and DS.GAIN function in combination. (This enables an increase in gain of up to 68 dB.)

However, caution should be observed since the higher the DS.GAIN increase, the more noticeable the after image

becomes with moving subjects.

Use a gain increase of up to +12 dB : with moving subjects.

Setting items and details

S.GAIN: An analog gain increase with an asterisk is one that is valid. One without an asterisk is invalid.

DS.GAIN: A cumulative gain increase with an asterisk is one that is valid. One without an asterisk is invalid.

4-8-2 Selecting the video output signals

The signals which are output from the VIDEO OUT connector and MON OUT connector can be selected. To select this function, perform menu operations to open the <OUTPUT SEL> screen from the SYSTEM SETTING page, select the VIDEO OUT signal for the VIDEO OUT SEL item, select the type of characters to be superimposed onto the VIDEO OUT signal and MONITOR OUT signal for the OUTPUT CHAR item and MONITOR OUT CHAR item, and select whether or

not the characters are to be superimposed onto the 4 MONITOR OUT signal.
