Features

Backlight compensation over a wide area is realized by the 14-bit Wide Dynamic Range feature.

The Wide Dynamic Range feature controls the exposure time using a maximum of 5 sampling timing for the image within a single screen. Even when shooting in areas with large difference in lightning, sub- jects with difference in brightness can be viewed in a clear and natu- ral state.

1/3-inch high-resolution DPS device adopted as shooting element to realize high picture quality with no smearing or blooming in areas with high luminance. In addition, 1.9lx (during F1.2, 50%, AGC HIGH setting) is realized for minimum subject brightness.

Horizontal resolution of 480 lines (typ.) and vertical resolution of over 400 lines allow display of finely detailed video.

New device adopted for use even under strong electric field condi- tions.

Compatible with CS mount and VIDEO auto iris/DC auto iris. * When using the C mount lens, C mount adapter is required.

Various settings in each menu screen are possible.

Menu settings can be performed easily using single button opera- tions.

INTRODUCTION

Operating Precautions

●To save energy, when it is not being used turn the system’s power off.

●This camera has been designed for indoor use.

When you use it outdoors, be sure to use an appropriate housing.

●Do not install or use the camera in the following places.

•In a place exposed to rain or moisture.

•In a place with vapor or oil soot, for example in a kitchen.

•When the ambient temperature rises above or falls below the ac- ceptable range (from –10°C to 50°C).

•Near a source of radiation, X-rays, strong radio waves or magne- tism.

•In a place where corrosive gasses are generated.

•In a place subject to vibration.

•In a place with excessive dirt.

●If this camera and the cables connected to this camera are used where there are strong electromagnetic waves or where there is magnetism present, for example near a radio or TV transmitter, power transformer or an electric motor, the picture may produce noise and the colours may be affected.

●This camera incorporates an AGC circuit. As a result, when it is used under low light conditions, the camera sensitivity is automati- cally boosted and the picture may look uneven. However, this is not a malfunction.

●When this camera is used in the ATW mode, the recorded colours may be slightly different from the actual colours due to the opera- tional principles of the auto-tracking white balance circuit. However, this is not a malfunction.

●Hunting may occur depending on the used lens. However, this is not a malfunction of the unit.

●The screen surroundings may appear dark depending on the used lens.
