1. Handling Precautions
The camera module must not be used for any nuclear equipment or aerospace equipment with which mechanical failure
or malfunction could result in serious bodily injury or loss of human life. Our warranty does not apply to damages or
defects caused by irregular and/or abnormal use of the product.
Please observe all warnings and cautions stated below.
Our warranty does not apply to damages or malfunctions caused by neglecting these precautions.
Do not use or store the camera in the dusty or humid places.
Do not apply excessive force, vibration, or static electricity that could damage the camera. Handle the
camera with caution.
Do not shoot direct images that are extremely bright (e.g., light source, sun, etc.), and when camera is
not in use, please put the lens cap on. When extremely strong light source is shot, smear or blooming
may occur.
Follow the instructions in Chapter 6. “External Connector Specifications”for connecting the camera
module. Improper connection may cause damages not only to the camera module but also to the
connected devices.
Confirm the mutual ground potential carefully before connecting the camera to other equipment.
AC leaks from the connected devices may cause damages or destroy the camera.
Do not apply excessive voltage. (Use only the specified voltage.) Unstable or improper power supply
voltage may cause damages or malfunction of the camera assembly.
Since VCC-HD3N is a highly-dense camera module, appropriate heat dissipation shall be considered.
We recommend using a metal base or others to install the camera.

<3G-SDI output Level A and Level B>
The difference between Level A and Level B is the way of mapping Y signal and Cb/Cr signal onto 3G-SDI standard signal.
The difference does not affect the resolution of the video signal. Some 3G-SDI receivers correspond to either Level A or B,
whereas other receivers correspond to both Levels, so please set the camera mode to match your 3G-SDI receiver.

･Input Black Burst signals for NTSC/PAL signal.
・Input 3-value SYNC signals for other than NTSC/PAL signal.
・EXT SYNC IN is terminated with 75Ω. (It becomes high impedance when camera power is OFF).
・When the external signals specified above are input, the camera becomes external sync mode automatically.
・When no external signal is input, the camera operates in internal sync mode.
・The image may be disturbed right after the external signal is input, but this is not malfunction.
・When a signal other than specified above combination is input to the EXT SYNC IN terminal, the image might be
disturbed or no image might be output.
8. LTC (Longitudinal Time Code)
・Time code can be inserted into 3G/HD SDI signals.
･Input LTC signals (time code) to the LTC IN terminal of the 6pins connector to insert external time code.
･And, when no signal is input into the LTC IN terminal, internal time code can be inserted.
･Internal time code starts with 00:00:00. 00 when power is ON, and when any signals are input into the
LTC IN terminal, it will be switched to the external time code.
･With this situation, if no signal is input into the LTC IN terminal, it starts self-running from the set time code.
･Signal Format: SMPTE Time code Signal Level: 0.5 ~ 2[Vp-p]

9. Defective Pixel Correction
9.1 Precautions:
When the user executes Defective Pixel Correction and “SAVE”, the data at the factory setting will be over-written,
so that the data cannot be back to the factory setting data even when “INIT” command was executed.
Execute “INIT”, then “SAVE” to overwrite the preset data (camera settings) with the factory setting data.
If you do not wish to overwrite the preset data, load the preset data before executing SAVE.
The defective pixel correction data will be saved in one area regardless of its preset number.
Since the function only supports the white defects correction, the black defects cannot be corrected. And, the
function is not necessarily able to correct all the white defects. In addition, due to the effect from the noises or the
temperature conditions, the correction result may not be always the same.
Please be noted that improper command execution such as under no light-blocking, or taking wrong procedure, may
cause incorrect operation of the executed command function or abnormal images.
9.2 How to execute “Defective Pixel Correction”
・Execute “INIT” to restore the factory settings.
・Attach the bundled cap to the lens mount for light-blocking, then wait for about 5 seconds.
・Execute “Defective Pixel Correction” and SAVE.

・Identifiable letters from the head are to be analyzed.
・Command from the head to the linefeed code, [¥r]or[¥n], is to be regarded as one command to be analyzed.
・The returned command from the PC will be received by the camera, and then echoed back. The line feed code when
echoing back shall be [¥r][¥n].
・Command completion shall be judged with >[sp]
・The next command shall be issued after completion of the prior command.
