Panasonic WV-CS954 Adjusting the Phase for Line-lock Synchronization, On MID, Off

Notes:

•When AUTO is selected for the shutter setting, fluorescent lighting may cause flickering of the picture. If this happens, select OFF or 1/100 for the shutter speed setting.

•AUTO is disabled when MANUAL is selected for light control (ALC/MANUAL) and FIX is selected for electronic sensitivity enhancement (SENS UP).

(4)Gain Control (AGC)

1.Move the cursor to AGC, and then tilt the joystick left or right to select a gain control setting.

ON (LOW) : Low gain

ON (MID)	: Medium gain
ON (HIGH) : High gain
OFF	: Fixed gain

Note: When AGC is turned on, the noise reduction function automatically activates under low illumination to reduce digital noise. This also, however, can cause afterimages to be generated by moving objects, and by panning and tilting the camera. For more information, see the DNR setting (page 25).

(5)Electronic Sensitivity Enhancement (SENS UP)

1. Move the cursor to SENS UP, and then tilt the joystick left or right to select an electronic sensitivity enhancement setting.

The electronic sensitivity enhancement setting can be changed only when OFF or AUTO is selected for the shutter speed (SHUTTER) setting. Tilting the joystick cycles through the settings display in the sequence shown below.

When SUPER-D 3 is turned off

OFF ↔ X2 AUTO ↔ X4 AUTO ↔ X6 AUTO ↔ X10 AUTO ↔ X16 AUTO

↔					↔
X32 FIX				X32 AUTO
↔	↔ X10 FIX ↔	X6 FIX ↔	X4 FIX ↔	X2 FIX ↔	↔
X16 FIX					OFF

When SUPER-D 3 is turned on

OFF ↔ X2 AUTO ↔ X4 AUTO ↔ X6 AUTO

X32 AUTO ↔ X16 AUTO ↔ X10 AUTO

Note: The following are the differences between AUTO and FIX.

AUTO: Selecting X32 AUTO, for example, automatically increases sensitivity, up to a maximum of 32 times.

FIX : Selecting X32 FIX, for example, increases sensitivity 32 times.

The FIX settings cannot be selected when the shutter speed (SHUTTER) setting is 1/100.

Caution: Turning on SENS UP can cause digital noise and white spots (blemish) to appear in the picture.

(6) Synchronization (SYNC)

This camera supports the following three sync modes, which are listed in priority sequence from highest priority to lowest.

-24-

(1)Multiplexed vertical drive (VD2)

(2)Internal sync (INT)

(3)Line-lock (LL)

Input of a multiplexed vertical driver (VD2) signal automatically switches to VD2 sync, regardless of the camera's current sync mode (SYNC). In this case, the camera setting menu shows EXT (VD2) for the SYNC setting, which cannot be changed to internal sync (INT) or line-lock (LL).

The following procedures explain how to select internal sync (INT) and line-lock sync (LL), and how to perform phase adjustment when line-lock sync (LL) is selected.

1.Move the cursor to SYNC, and then tilt the joystick left or right to select the sync mode.

INT : Internal sync

LL: Line-lock (Cannot be used in areas with 50 Hz power.)

Selecting LL and pressing the CAM (SET) button will display the SYNC setting menu, which can be used for configuring detailed settings. (This page)

●Adjusting the Phase for Line-lock Synchronization

Connect the video output signal of the camera being adjusted and the reference video output signal to a two-input oscilloscope.

Set the oscilloscope to the vertical rate, and then expand the vertical sync portion on the oscilloscope.

1.Move the cursor to COARSE, and then tilt the joystick left or right to align the coarse adjustment of the vertical phases of the camera being adjusted with that of the reference camera.

Coarse adjustment be performed across 16 steps (1 through 16). Adjusting past step 16 returns to step 1.

	** SYNC **
V PHASE
COARSE		1(1--16)
FINE	••••I••••
	-	+

RET TOP

2.Move the cursor to FINE, and then tilt the joystick left or right to align the fine adjustment of the vertical phases of the camera being adjusted with that of the reference camera.

Notes:

•To reset COARSE and FINE to the preset values, press the F2 button. For WV-RM70, press the right and left switches simultaneously. COARSE is preset to zero-crossing of the AC line phase.

•If the AC line phase contains spike noise, etc., the vertical phase of the video output signal may be disturbed.
