Use a dry cloth to clean the camera when
dirty.
Dynamic range of 40 dB.
(3) Auto/Manual White Balance Function
(4) Electronic Shutter Function
2. Signal-to-noise ratio of 50 dB
3. Minimum illumination of 5 lux (0.5 footcandle).
4. 480 lines of horizontal resolution
5. High quality picture:
In case the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild
detergent and wipe gently.
(a) 2H type vertical enhancer for greater pic-
ture sharpness
(b) Chroma averaging circuit for better color
signal to noise ratio
(c) Minimum of aliasing on fine objects
(d) Expanded dynamic range by use of knee
circuit
(e) Highlight aperture correction for greater
picture detail of bright object
5. Never face the camera towards the sun.
Do not aim the camera at bright objects.
Whether the camera is in use or not, never aim
it at the sun or other extremely bright objects.
Otherwise, blooming or smear may be caused.
6. Do not operate the camera beyond the
specified temperature, humidity or power
source ratings.
Use the camera under conditions where tem-
perature is between −10°C - +50°C (14°F -
122°F), and humidity is below 90%. The input
power source is AC 24 V.

The important object in a scene is usually placed in
the center of the monitor’s screen. In SUPER-D
mode, more photometric weight is given to the cen-
ter of the screen (where the important object is
located) than to the edge of the picture (where a
bright backlight would most likely be located). You
can use the SUPER-D function if you select ALC. It
eliminates interference by strong background light-

4. Supply the video output signal of the camera
to be adjusted and the reference camera video
output signal to a dual-trace oscilloscope.
You can select one of two modes for white balance
adjustment as follows:
5. Set the oscilloscope to the vertical rate and
expand the vertical sync portion on the oscillo-
scope.
• ATW (Auto Tracing White Balance)
In this mode, the color temperature is monitored
continuously and thereby white balance is set
automatically. The color temperature range for
the proper white balance is approximately
2 600 - 6 000K. Proper white balance may not
be obtained under the following conditions:
1. The color temperature is out of the 2 600 -
6 000K range.
6. Press

PREVENTION OF BLOOMING AND SMEAR
When the camera is aimed at a bright light, such as
a spotlight, or a surface that reflects bright light,
smear or blooming may appear. Therefore, the
camera should be operated carefully in the vicinity
of extremely bright objects to avoid smear or
blooming.
