Overview
The HV-D25 is a 3 CCD color camera featuring advanced picture quality and high stability. Each 1/2-inch CCD has 410,000 (470,000
PAL) picture elements (pixels), while the circuits from processor to encoder are organized onto a single semiconductor chip. The
precision C mount prism optics provide physical compatibility with a broad selection of general and special purpose lenses.
The exclusive 13-bit digital processor and flexible picture quality compensating functions result from extensive experience in the fields of
broadcast and industrial color cameras. Top level engineering gives this camera performance quality unmatched in previous analog
cameras.
Features
·
·
C mount
The C mount has become a de facto standard among industrial cameras. Together with the built-in flangeback adjustment mechanism,
the camera can accept both off-the-shelf lenses and sophisticated special-purpose optical systems.
Unitized signal processor
The entire circuit from processor to encoder is organized into a single high density (0.5 m precision) LSI chip that conserves both
space and power. Moreover, the 10 bit A/D converter and 13 bit signal processor provide high signal to noise ratio and wide dynamic
range.
·
High resolution
Precision matching of the 1/2-inch 410,000 pixel (470,000 PAL) CCDs with microlenses, plus digital double speed luminance signal
processing achieve a horizontal resolution of 800 TV lines (luminance channel).
1
·
·
Digital processing enables wide array of functions
Desired hue and tint can be adjusted with 6-vector independently variable masking. Even at wide dynamic range, auto-knee and
dynamic chroma can provide superbly colored images.
The versatile detail compensating functions allow optimum contour compensation to match the scene.
Intelligent automatic level control (ALC)
Digital light metering of either the overall image or an iris gate with variable size and position, computer chip driven automatic gain
control (AGC), lens iris and auto electronic shutter (AES) provide comprehensive control with respect to a wide variation in light. The
ALC level setting is also variable.
·
·
Three application files
Different setting data according to the application and scene can be stored in 3 application files.
Bi-directional data communication
The camera can be connected to a personal computer via RS-232C for two-way data communications to provide finely detailed camera
control. An identification (ID) code can be assigned to each camera in a system and allow remotely controlling multiple cameras from
a single computer.
Notes to users
Important safety notes
l Use this camera with a 12 VDC power supply.
l Observe that flammable objects, water or metal do not enter the camera interior. These may lead to failure or accident.
l Do not modify the camera or use the camera with external covers removed. These may cause failure, void any warranties and pose a
safety hazard.
l Stop using the camera at the approach of an electrical storm (thunder audible). Protect the camera from rain if using it outdoors.
l In event the camera shows any abnormality, switch off the camera and disconnect the power cord. Contact a Hitachi Denshi service
representative.
Operating considerations
l Power supply
Check that the supplied voltage is between 10.5 and 17 VDC. Inadequate voltage can affect color fidelity and cause noise,
while voltage over 17 V can damage the camera.
l Connectors
Confirm the power is off before connecting or disconnecting a signal cable. Grasp connectors by the body, not the attached
wires.
2
l Lens
The correct lens is important for deriving optimum performance from the camera. Consult a Hitachi Denshi dealer for a selection of
fine lenses according to the application.
l Installation and storage sites
The following types of environment can impair performance, lead to damage, pose safety hazards and shorten the useful life of the
camera. Select the sites for installing the storing the camera carefully.
·
·
·
·
·
·
·
Direct sunlight, rain or snow
Flammable or corrosive gasses
Very hot or cold (beyond -10 to 45 operating, -20 to 60 storage)
Humid or dusty
Exposed to vibration or shock
Strong electrical or magnetic fields
Exceptionally strong light
Continuous operation
In situations where the camera is used continuously for long periods of time, the ambient temperature should be kept below 40 in
order to avoid accelerated deterioration of internal parts and to derive maximum long-term reliability.
Cleaning
l A photographers blower or lens brush can be used for clearing dust from the lens and optical filters.
l Wipe dust from the case with a soft dry cloth. If soiling is severe, moisten the cloth with a solution of neutral detergent. Afterwards,
wipe the cover with a dry cloth.
l Do not use petroleum distillates, alcohol or spray type cleaners.
Transportation
Remove the lens (install lens mount cap) and other attachments. Pack the camera carefully in its original or equivalent container. Use
ample cushioning to protect the camera from physical shock.
CCD properties
The following phenomena are inherent to a charge coupled device imaging element and do not indicate malfunction.
1) Smear and blooming
Vertical bands are visible when a strong light enters the scene. Adjust the camera aiming direction carefully to avoid strong direct
or reflected light.
2) Fixed pattern noise
High ambient temperature can cause fixed pattern noise to appear throughout the scene.
3
3) Moire
Interaction between patterns can produce an additional "phantom" pattern to appear. The CCD picture elements (pixels)
are arranged in a pattern, which can interact with a pattern in the scene (e.g., a performer wearing a finely striped necktie)
to result in a Moire pattern. The effect should be considered when selecting costumes, props and other scene elements.
4) Ghosting
Strong direct or reflected light near an object of interest can cause ghosting of the object to appear in the picture. The
effect is more obtrusive with certain iris settings and lens types. Select the scene layout and camera pointing direction
carefully in order to avoid this effect.

Lens
Note when choosing the lens
The figure indicates the limiting dimensions of the lens
mounting structure. Use care, since an improper lens fitting can
damage both the lens and the camera.
1) The C mount threads must be less than 4.2 mm from the
flange plane.
2) An 18 mm diameter segment of the lens optical axis center
must be must be less than 3.8 mm from the flange plane.
Lens selection
1) Optical characteristics
The proper lens is vital for obtaining full performance from the camera. The exit pupil distance is particularly important for a 3 CCD type
camera. If too short, vertical color shading can appear in the picture.
Also, as the lens iris approaches fully open, problems such as loss of resolution, shading and flare (overall image "white-out") can detract
from picture quality. When using in applications that call for open iris, the following lenses are recommended. If another lens is
contemplated, check the performance beforehand.

The camera delivers intermittent video signal output. So, to view continuous images, it is required to use
the video memory. A clear image can be attained even if the subject is illuminated with a faint light source.
As the store time increases, the degree of after-image becomes higher.
(Note) With an increase in store time, the degree of characteristic pattern noise, white scratch, etc. of the
CCD image sensor will become higher.

How to Attain Better Images
Black Balance Adjustment
Adjust black balance to provide proper color tone at a dark part of video image. In the following cases, be sure to carry
out black balance adjustment.
·
·
·
When using the camera first after purchasing it.
When using the camera after it has been unused for a long time.
Wen the camera operating environment is changed (e.g., when the ambient temperature varies significantly).
Under normal condition, it is not required to make black balance adjustment at power-on.
1. In the Direct mode, hold the ABB button pressed for about 2 seconds for automatic black balance adjustment. With
MESSAGE RTN:ON, AUTO BLACK appears. At the end of successful adjustment AUTO BLACK:OK appears.
(Notes) 1) Where the lens having the auto iris function is used, the iris is closed automatically during adjustment.
Sometimes occurs when adjusted with the lens iris in the manual mode (lens iris switch set to M). Open
the iris for better exposure.
2) In combinational use with the manual iris lens or microscope, a full-black screen image is provided from
the CCD image sensor during adjustment. When picturing after adjustment, a white screen image appears
momentarily. This phenomenon is not a symptom of trouble, however.
3) In case that the manual iris lens is used, do not attempt auto black balance adjustment while taking an
image of subject having extremely high luminance such as the sun. This may deteriorate black balance
accuracy.
2. If black balance adjustment cannot be made, any one of the following messages will appear. Take a proper procedure
according to the error message, and then try black balance adjustment again.

White Balance Adjustment
Carry out white balance adjustment when the illumination condition (color temperature) is changed.
Adjust the white balance when using the camera for the first time or after replacing the lens.
1. In the MENU mode, set up WHITE BAL: MEM 3200K or MEM 5600K.
2. Turn off the MENU screen to select the DIRECT mode.
3. Provide a proper aperture value of lens using the auto iris function or manually.
4. Put an white object in the subject image, and zoom it up.
5. Hold the AWB button pressed for about 2 seconds for automatic white balance adjustment. With MESSAGE
RTN:ON, AUTO WHITE appears. At the end of successful adjustment AUTO WHITE:OK appears.
Note:
If adjusted under a light source that has a flicker component, such as fluorescent or mercury, the white balance accuracy
can be impaired. Change the electronic shutter mode (Sub-menu 1 Shutter or Variable) setting to reduce flicker before
engaging the auto white balance adjustment.
6. If white balance adjustment cannot be made, any of the following messages will appear. Take a proper procedure
according to the error message, and then try white balance adjustment again.

Realtime Auto White
The camera detects a white part in the image by itself, and its internal microcomputer automatically adjusts white balance in
realtime. Use this function in case that the color temperature varies with time (e.g., from morning to day to night).
1. In the MENU mode, set up WHITE BAL:AUTO.
(Note 1) If the color temperature of the scene being taken is changed abruptly (when the camera is oriented from indoor
side to outdoor side), the image may become bluish or reddish momentarily. This phenomenon is not a symptom
of trouble, however. Immediately after it, the optimum white balance condition is set.
(Note 2) If adjusted under a light source that has a flicker component, such as fluorescent or mercury, the white balance
accuracy can be impaired. Change the electronic shutter mode (Sub-menu 1 Shutter or Variable) setting to reduce flicker
before engaging the auto white balance adjustment.
Where the camera is mounted fixedly and the orientation and image-taking range of the camera remain unchanged. it is
advisable to use the white gate function in combination for attaining higher accuracy in white balance.
1. In the MENU mode, set up WHITE GATE:ON.
2. Using the WHITE GATE menu in the MENU mode, bring the display window to a monochrome part (white or gray
part) in the image.
For details of the WHITE GATE function, refer to p. 18. Be sure to set the WHITE GATE window to a white or gray part
in the image. Do not set it to a colored part.
Auto Shading Correction
Color shading may occur in the vertical direction on screen due to any characteristic of lens. This camera is equipped with
a function for correcting color shading automatically.
1. Provide a proper aperture value of lens using the auto iris function or manually.
2. Take an white image fully on screen. At this step, take care so that uneven brightness will not occur in the vertical
direction.
3. In the DIRECT mode, press the AWB button. White balance is adjusted automatically.
4. In the MENU mode, carry out AUTO SHADING. Thus, color shading in the image is corrected automatically.
(Note 1) When using the camera for the first time or after replacing the lens, just be sure above instructions.
(Note 2) If adjusted under a light source that has a flicker component, such as fluorescent or mercury, the white balance
accuracy can be impaired. Change the electronic shutter mode (Sub-menu 1 Shutter or Variable) setting to
reduce flicker before engaging the auto white balance adjustment.
36
ALC
In combination of GAIN:AGC, SHUTTER:AES and AUTO IRIS, the following four kinds of ALC (auto level control) can
be performed. This feature ensures stable video signal output according to a wide-range change in illumination.
Note:

2. If the display scanning frequency is below 60 Hz, the rolling horizontal bar cannot be stopped.
3. Raising the shutter speed improves resolution of moving objects, but loses sensitivity to the extent
auxiliary lighting may be needed for outdoor scenes. Also, vertical smear increases with higher
shutter speeds due to the physical properties of CCD cameras.
38
Long-Time Store Mode
In case that illumination on the subject is insufficient, just increasing the gain of the camera may cause an increase in noise,
resulting in an unclear image. In such a situation, it is advisable to select the long-time store mode using the external
memory. Thereby, the image can be brighter and clearer according to the stored amount of image. This camera is provided
with two kinds of image store functions (CCD MODE:FLD/FRM in SUB MENU 1). When one of these image store
functions is used, video signal output is delivered from the camera with the timing shown below.
Since the degree of after-image increases for a moving subject because of image storing, it is recommended to use the
image store function when taking a still picture or scene.
Field store mode
In the field store mode, both the CCD lines
A and B are read out simultaneously. After
