• When using a zoom lens, it is recommended to run the camera
with your zoom lens attached and check the backfocus before
camera installation. The same applies to lens attached and check
the backfocus before camera installation. The same applies to lens
level adjustment. (See the lens instruction manual for details.)
• Be sure to attach the provided ferrite core to the lens cable or
power cable to be connected with this camera to minimize unnec-
essary radiation.
• Avoid istalling in places where there is radiation.This could damege
CCD and other components and cause a malfunction.
• Avoid installing in places where there are strong electro-magnetic
waves or magnetism. the picture could be distorted.
• Avoid instanning in places where the camera would be subject to
strong vibrations. This could damage components and degrade
the picture.
• Avoid installing the unit in following locations.
• Places exposed to rain or moisture
• Places with an ambient temperature outside the range of –10
to 50°C (operation) or from 0 to 40°C (recommended).
• Places subject to excessive dust or to oil or gas.
• When this unit is used with AGC ON, an image recorded in a dark
place may look noisy due to the automatic boost in sensitivity.
This is not a malfunction.
• When this unit is used with the AUTO white balance control, the
recorded colours may differ slightly from the actual colours due to
the operation of the automatic-tracking white balance control cir-
cuit. This is not a malfunction.
• When a bright object (such as a lamp) is shot, a white, comet-tail
phenomenon may be observed above and below the bright object
on the screen. This is a phenomenon (called smear) inherent in
CCD image pickup devices and is not a malfunction.
• The electronic shutter speed of this unit has been set to 1/50 [1/
60] second at the factory. If you use this unit under fluorescent
lamps in an area with the local power frequency of 60 [50] Hz,
switch the shutter speed to 1/120 [1/100] sec. (The sensitivity will
be degraded slightly at 1/120 [1/100] sec.) E type [U type]
• Lens aperture will be open when the electronic shutter is oper-
ated on AUTO mode with an auto iris lens in use, To avoid this, set
the shutter to any mode other than AUTO or use a manual (fixed)
iris lens.
• When the electronic shutter is set to the AUTO mode while this
unit is used under fluorescent lamp illumination, flickering may be
observed in the picture. This is a phenomenon caused by the rela-
tionship between the light’s power frequency and shutter speed,
and is not a malfunction.

Connection
䡵System connection example
●Do not turn on the power of any component before all connec-
tions have been completed.
●Read the instruction manuals of the components to be connected
carefully.
Note:
•Genlocking is not possible with a signal containing too much
jitter, such as a VCR or videodisc playback signal.
Genlock connection
With some systems, genlocking by applying an external sync
input requires the horizontal phase (H PHASE) and/or color phase
(SC COARSE) (in case the external sync signal is a composite
video or black burst signal) to be adjusted.
Caution
•Be sure to observe the correct +, –polarity when connecting
a DC 12 V}power input.
•The DC 12 V}power should have a ripple voltage of no more
than 50 mV.
•Never connect the DC 12 V}and AC 24 V`power inputs

䡵Lens mounting procedure
1. Check the mounting of your lens before attaching it to the cam-
era. The camera has been set for a C mount before shipment
(Figure 1-1). When mounting a CS-mount lens, loosen the BF
LOCK screw ( on page 4) by turning it counter-clockwise and
turn the backfocus adjustment ring ( on page 4) in the direc-
tion of the arrow in Figure 1-1 to switch the mounting method.
(Figure 1-2 shows the camera set for a CS mount lens.)
Lens
Caution
•The ring cannot be turned by more than a certain amount with
your finger. Use a thin object (screwdriver tip, etc.) to turn the
ring (Figure 1-3).
•Distance L of the lens mounting section shown in the follow-
ing illustration should comply with the condition shown in the
following table. Never use a lens with a flange back distance
L greater than, the one Specified in the chart below. As this
will damage the inside of the camera or may make normal
mounting impossible. Also, be careful not to attempt to mount
a C-mount lens while the camera is set for a CS mount.

2. Mount the lens on the camera by turning the lens clockwise
and adjust its position.
3. When an auto-iris lens is used, also connect the lens cable to
the camera.
If the lens does not incorporate an EE amp, connect the
cable to the DC IRIS connector on the side panel (Figure 2-1).
If the lens incorporates an EE amp, connect the cable to
the VIDEO IRIS connector on the rear panel (Max 50mA).

•After completing connections as shown in “Connection”on page
13, supply power to the camera, display a picture on the monitor
and check the image.
Auto-iris lenses have generally been adjusted for the widest ap-
plicability before shipment, but readjustment may sometimes
be necessary depending on the conditions of the objects to be
shot and the lens combination. If the picture recorded using such
a lens looks unnatural, readjust as shown below.

Re-adjust as descried in “IRIS [Iris level]”on page 8.
Caution
Do not turn the LEVEL control too far towards “L”as this could
cause the AGC of the camera to increase the gain, making the
picture look rough.
䡵Backfocus adjustment
The backfocus has been adjusted before shipment so that the widest range
can be obtained with C-mount lenses, but readjustment is necessary when
the lens mount is switched to the CS mount or a combination lens is used.
When necessary, readjust the backfocus by the following procedure.
1. Loosen the BF LOCK screw by turning
it counterclockwise with a screwdriver.
2. Optimize the focus by turning the
backfocus adjustment ring.
3. Lock the BF LOCK screw by turning it
clockwise.
<When a fixed –focus lens is used>
Readjust the backfocus when the optimum focusing cannot be obtained
by adjusting the focusing ring of the lens.
<When a zoom lens is used>
Readjust the backfocus when focusing is lost during zooming (from wide angle
to telephoto).
1. Loosen the BF LOCK screw by turning it counterclockwise with a
screwdriver.
2. Shoot a fine pattern of as dark as possible an object at a distance of
more than 3 meters.
3. Set the zoom for telephoto and adjust the focus with the lens’s fo-
cusing ring.
4. Set the zoom for wide angle and adjust the focus by turning the backfocus
adjustment ring. (Refer to “When a fixed-focus lens is used”above.)
•Repeat steps 3 and 4 a few times.
5. Lock the BF LOCK screw by turning it clockwise.

To retain electromagnetic compatibility, use the provided ferrite cores when
connecting to the lens or the power source.
How to use the ferrite core
Notes:
Install the ferrite cores within 50 mm of the camera-side con-
nectors. (Fasten with the ferrite core with the wire clamp.)
For lens connection : Pass the lens cable through the fer-
rite core twice and connect it to the
camera.
For power supply connection : Pass the power cable through the
ferrite core three times and connect
it to the camera.
