Automatic adjustment and memory functions for black balance/white balance

The black set, black balance and white balance can be automatically adjusted by simple switch operations. Adjustment values are held in the memory even if the power for the unit is turned off, so there is no need to readjust the balance each time the power is turned on.

There are two memory systems for white balance which can hold four adjustment values each for the CC and ND filters, making a total of eight adjustment values. When adjustment values match- ing the illumination conditions are selected from among the values stored in the memory, the unit is automatically adjusted to the corresponding white balance. (A menu setting also allows adjust- ment of only two values instead of the values for each filter.) In addition, when the unit is shipped from the factory, the white balance value for 3200K is stored in the memory as a preset value. This value can be called when there is no time to adjust the white balance, etc.

Character display function

The unit is equipped with a function that displays switch settings, the automatic adjustment status for black balance and white balance, warning displays, etc. on the viewfinder screen.

In addition, when using an Anton Bauer Digital Magnum series battery as the unit’s power supply, the remaining battery level can be displayed numerically on the viewfinder screen.

Warning system for displaying the VTR section status

The unit informs of VTR trouble, the end of the tape, battery wear, etc. with various warning lamps and a warning tone. The remaining tape time can also be checked by the character display inside the viewfinder.

Four filter disks as standard equipment

CC(color temperature conversion) and ND (neutral density) filters are provided as standard equipment. This allows the optional filter setting to be selected from among four combinations in accordance with the brightness of the subject.

Fine adjustment of the automatic iris reference value

The reference value for automatic iris adjustment can be finely adjusted by setting menu oper- ations.

Auto close function

The unit is equipped with an auto close function which automatically closes the lens in the follow- ing cases.

ÁWhen the black balance is automatically adjusted. ÁWhen the power is turned off in the auto iris mode.

Generation of SMPTE/SNG color bar and reference audio signals

The camera section contains a circuit which generates an SMPTE type color bar signal to facili- tate color monitor adjustments, and a circuit which generates a reference level audio signal to facilitate audio level adjustments.

The unit also contains a circuit for generating SNG color bar signals which come in handy for sending signals to communication satellites.

Functions and circuits for assuring high picture quality

The AJ-D610WB is equipped with the following functions (and circuits) in order to assure high picture quality and is designed to make the fullest use of the advantages of the high-performance CCD.

ÁA built-in AUTO KNEE circuit achieves a wide dynamic range which allows large signals to pass through.
