Installation  
Be sure to place the main unit on a flat surface.  
If you have a personal  
computer or audio/video  
equipment with the  
S-Video input  
You can connect it to your Color Video Camera  
with a commercially available S-video cable.  
Notes  
• You cannot connect your Color Video Camera to a  
personal computer that is not equipped with either audio/  
video input or S-Video input jack. And you might not be  
able to use your existing personal computer with your  
Color Video Camera unless you provide the computer  
with a video capture board, sound board, and/or  
software. Consult your computer dealer or manufacturer  
for details.  
Secure the camera in place with the supplied Velcro  
tape.  
• Use only the AC-EV2 (for EVI-D30)/AC-EV3 (for EVI-  
D31) AC power adaptor (supplied). Do not use any other  
AC power adaptor.  
Polarity of the plug  
• Do not grasp the camera head when carrying the video  
camera.  
• Do not turn the camera head manually. Doing so will  
result in the camera malfunctioning.  
If you operate more than one camera  
with the remote commander  
Notice the CAMERA NO. switch at the rear of the  
main unit. Set the CAMERA NO. switch to the  
position that is different from the positions to that  
of what the other cameras' CAMERA NO. switches  
are set.

— MD (Motion Detector) function  
If the position of the camera is fixed, you can set the  
camera to detect a change taking place in a picture.  
When the camera detects a change taking place in  
the picture, the frame appears, showing the portion  
in which the change takes place, and the lamp at the  
side of the lens lights up red. (At that time, the  
detection signal is output from the VISCA IN.)  
You can specify up to two portions in which the  
change is detected, by using the two frames  
(FRAME 1 and FRAME 2) that you can change in  
position and size as desired.  
If you have selected the ENTRY 3, the frame  
flashes for about 5 seconds after the START/STOP  
button is pressed. Within that period, repeat  
changing the angle of the subject so that the camera  
recognizes the various brightness of the subject.  
Notes  
• If you use the ENTRY 2 or 4 mode for a subject that can  
be recognized even in the ENTRY 1 mode, the subject  
might be hardly recognized. This is because the color  
and brightness the camera can recognize are limited in  
the ENTRY 2 and 4 modes.  
• Even if you try changing the ENTRY mode, a subject  
still might not be recognized depending on its  
characteristics. In such a case, try changing the subject  
to the one whose color is more bright or the one whose  
color is different from that of its backdrop, or changing  
the lighting.  
• There might be a case in which the AT function will not

the camera memorizes a picture of a certain  
moment as the “reference picture,” and compares  
the current picture with the reference picture to  
detect whether or not a change takes place.  
Although the camera is factory-set to refresh a  
reference picture after a certain period of time, you  
can change the timing when a reference picture is  
refreshed or can set the camera not to refresh the  
reference picture, according to conditions under  
which the camera is used.

Precautions  
• The name plate indication operating voltage,  
power consumption, etc. is located on the bottom  
exterior.  
Stopper  
• After operating the unit with an AC power  
adaptor, disconnect the AC power adaptpr from  
the wall outlet if the set is not to be used for an  
extended period of time. The POWER switch on  
the rear of the main unit, does not turn the AC  
adaptor off.  
Connector  
3 Remove the lithium battery together with the  
board.  
Brightness of a subject  
Color Video Camera might not work with its best  
performance in a place where brightness exceeds  
the illumination range (such as a place exposed to  
direct sunlight).  
Avoid specialized  
application  
Avoid using Color Video Camera for monitoring  
application where it would be forced to focus on a  
stationary object for a long period of time. Also  
avoid focusing the camera on an extremely bright  
object such as sunlight or a fluorescent lamp.  
Otherwise the color filter might be damaged.  
Dispose of the lithium battery according to the local  
law.  
About backup  
The memories of the settings such as the clock,  
camera's position and MD function are erased when  
the POWER switch on the main unit is set to OFF.  
To retain those memories, set the BACK UP  
switch, at the rear of the camera head, to ON.  
Precaution on copyright  
Television programs, pictures, magazines, and  
other materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized  
recording or storing of such materials violates the  
provision of the copyright laws.  
When you discard Color  
Video Camera  
BACKUP  
OFF  
ON  
For environmental reasons, take out a lithium  
battery from the camera and discard it accordingly.  
1 Remove the screw at the rear of the camera head  
using a Phillips type screw driver and detach the  
cabinet.  
Notes  
• In this unit, the built-in lithium battery acts as the power  
source for retaining the memories and is kept charged as  
long as the unit is used. If the unit is used for shorter  
period of time with the BACKUP switch set to ON,  
however, the battery is gradually discharged. Besides, if  
you do not use the unit at all for almost 12 weeks, the  
battery is completely discharged. To retain the  
memories of the settings, you should recharge the  
battery.  
w
• To recharge the battery, plug in the unit to an AC outlet  
with the AC power adaptor and leave it for  
approximately 48 hours with the POWER switch on the  
main unit set to ON.
