Adjusting the Picture Tone in a Multi-Camera System

When configuring a multi-camera system, adjust all cameras to prevent camera-to-camera variations in picture tone. Before making the adjustments described below, supply the same sync signal to all cameras.

For more details, see “Connecting Two or More Cameras - Multi- Camera system” on page 45.

Connecting the cameras to video equipment with phase indication capability

When connecting to a special-effects generator, a chormakey unit, or other video equipment with phase indication capability, the basic adjustment procedure is as follows.

1 Turn on the phase indication capability of the connected video equipment.

2 Adjust the horizontal phase using the “H.PHASE” function on PAGE 3 menu.

For more details, see “Operation through Menus” on page 13.

3 Adjust the SC (subcarrier) phase using the “SC PHASE” function on PAGE 3 menu.

First set to between 0° and 180° for rough adjustment using the “SC PHASE Rough”, then use “SC PHASE Fine”.

For more details, refer to the instruction manual of the connected video equipment with phase indication capability.

Connecting the cameras to video equipment without phase indication capability

Use one of the cameras as a reference camera and adjust the other cameras to the reference camera one by one.

1 Adjust the horizontal phase using the “H. PHASE” function on PAGE 3 menu.

Using the “H. PHASE” function, adjust so that the reference video signal and the output signal have the same horizontal sync phase. Use a waveform monitor or an oscilloscope to check the phase.
