CAMERA UNIT (CAMERA PCB)
The camera unit is composed a lens, color filter, CCD (IC802), driver (IC800) and signal
processor (IC802). It produces voltages R, B, and G, for the colors red, blue, and green
when light from a scene is focused on the surface. These voltage values vary according
to the intensity of the respective color being scanned.
The camera unit must be replaced with whole unit when it is defective, because the precise
adjustment is required when the individual parts are replaced, and can be done only at our
factory.

Digital PCB is composed Microprocessor (IC600), D RAM (IC601), Flash Memory (IC602), Gate Array (IC700),
and V RAM (IC701).
Microprocessor controls the CCD, D RAM, Flash Memory and key operation. Gate array compresses data
for the color and the luminance from the CCD to increase the number of memory, and up to 96 images can
be stored in flash memory. The color and the luminance data are mixed in the gate array to make the video
signal.
As to spare parts for digital PCB, Casio supplies PCB ass'y and the individual parts.
