2)Adjust the cable compensation, genlock, and total pedestal of the selected camera.

Cable Compensation

Signal degradation due to cable length between the con- trol panel and the pan/tilt head can be compensated for.

qIf the cable length from the pan/tilt head to the control panel is longer than 300 meters, set the cable com- pensation switch on the pan/tilt head to the ON posi- tion. For details, refer to INSTALLATION OF PAN/TILT HEAD at page 8 or the Operating Instructions for Pan/tilt Head.

wConnect a waveform monitor or a vectorscope to the video output connector on the control panel for the corresponding the camera pan/tilt head number ([1] to [5]), set the video output connector on the control panel, set the mode switch to the BAR position, then observe the color bar signals.

eAdjust the Y (luminance) signal level with the CABLE COMP Y control for the corresponding camera pan/tilt head number ([1] to [5]), then adjust the CABLE COMP Y control then adjust the C (chrominance) sig- nal level with CABLE COMP C control. Repeat this until the video output of the control panel is adjusted as shown in the figure below.

Note: Turning CABLE COMP Y control changes not only the Y (luminance) signal level but also the video signal levels as a whole.
