1. Handling Precautions
1.1. Camera Handling Precautions
□ Do not use or store the camera in dusty or humid places.
□ Do not apply excessive force, vibration, or static electricity that could damage the camera. Please handle
camera with care.
□ Do not shoot direct images that are extremely bright (e.g., light source, sun, etc.) When extremely strong light
source was shot, smear or blooming may occur. Put the lens cap on or protect the lens with seal when camera
is not in use.
□ Follow the instructions in Chapter 3.2. “Part Names and Functions” for connecting the camera module.
Improper connection may cause damages not only to the camera module but also to the connected devices.
□ Confirm mutual ground potential carefully before connecting camera to other equipment. Any AC leak 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 module.
□ Since VCC-HD5 is a highly dense camera module, please apply appropriate heat dissipation such as installing a
metal base to the camera.
Our warranty does not apply to damage or defects caused by neglecting the instructions and precautions
explained in this manual.
1.2. Restrictions on Applications
□ 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.
□ Do not use the camera under conditions or environments other than those specified in this manual.
1.3. Disclaimers (Exception Clause)
CIS should not be liable for any damages or losses if;
□ damages or losses are caused by earthquake, lightning strike, fire, flood, or other acts of God.
□ damages or losses are caused by deliberate or accidental misuse by the user, or failure to observe the
information and instructions explained in this manual.
□ damages or losses are caused by repair or modification conducted by the customer or any unauthorized party.

4. Camera Functions
4.1. Genlock
□ Input analog external sync signals (black burst or 3-value SYNC) to the EXT SYNC IN terminal of 6pins
connector to enable Genlock function.
□ The corresponding external sync signals depend on its video output format, therefore, please refer to the chart
below and input appropriate signals.

[Note]
 Input Black Burst signals for NTSC/PAL signals. Input 3-value SYNC signals for other than NTSC/PAL
signals.
 EXT SYNC IN is terminated with 75Ω. (When camera power is OFF, mode becomes high impedance.)
 With inputting external signals specified in the chart above, the camera will automatically be in external
sync mode.
 When there is no external signal, the camera will operate in internal sync mode.
 Disturbance images occur immediately after inputting external signals, however this is normal.
 With a signal other than those specified in the chart above to the EXT SYNC IN terminal, disturbance
images may occur or there will be no image.
4.2. LTC (Longitudinal Time Code)
□ Supports Time code insertion to 3G/HD SDI signals.
□ Input LTC signals (time code) to the LTC IN terminal of the 6pins connector to insert external time code.
When there is no signal input to the LTC IN terminal, user can insert internal time code.
Internal time code starts with 00:00:00.00 when power is ON, and when signals are input to the LTC IN terminal,
time code switches to the external time code. Under this condition, if no signal is input to the LTC IN terminal,
internal time code starts with the set time code.
Signal Format: SMPTE Time code Signal Level: 0.5 ~ 2[Vp-p]

4.3. Defective Pixel Correction
In addition to the corrected defective pixel data registered at factory, we provide a method to update the defective
pixels data occurred after shipping out from our factory. User can acquire correction data for V Flip forward and V
Flip backword separately which changes automatically according to V Flip setting. User can register defective pixels
up to 128 points. Please refer to Section 5.2, Command List for details.
4.3.1 Defective Pixel Data Type
There are two types of defective pixel data.
 Defective pixel data registered at factory
These data cannot be over-written.
 Defective pixel data registered by user
These ata can be over-written.
4.3.2 Notes for Defective Pixel Correction
 To save the data registered or deleted with defective pixels correction command (SU 200~203), execute SAVE
command (SU 705).
 Init command (SU 700) does not restore defective pixel correction data. Use SU 203 to delete all data.
 Defective pixel correction data is not subject to Camera Setting Store/Load command (SU 100/101).
 Factory data and user-registered data cannot be the same. Therefore, if user detects the same defective
points as factory data, this function ignores those points.
 If user specifies a pixel data with the same coordinates as factory setting, error will occur.
 Specify coordinates with standard 1920×1080 regardless of frame rate settings.
 Please note that the detected results may not always be the same due to temperature, noise, and other
conditions.
 Inappropriate data registration of defective pixels may cause difficulties to acquire proper images.
Neglecting these instructions may cause not only incorrect pixel defect correction, but also failure of acquiring
proper images.

5. Serial Communication
5.1. Serial Communication Settings
(1) Please refer to the chart below for serial communication settings.
Baud rate 9600bps (factory setting), 38400bps, 115200bps
Data 8bit
Stop bit 1bit
Parity None
XON/XOFF No control
(2) Control code
・ Text-based communication executes camera control. Only ASCII 0x20~0x7E, 0x0A(LF=¥n), 0x0D(CR=¥r)
must be used. Do not use other than these codes.
・ By sending commands, parameters, and CR(0x0D) from host to camera, user can change camera settings and
acquire camera-setting parameters. (LF can substitute for CR).
・ There are two types of commands. One is SU command to send settings and instructions to the camera (“S”
for “Set”), and the other is GU command (“G” for “Get”) to obtain information from the camera.
Command Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Function
GU Address Normally None
(There are exceptions in some cases)
To acquire camera setting information.
SU Address Data (There may be more than one) To change camera settings.
(3) How to set a command
・ “>“ must be output from the camera as a prompt.
・ Commands are not case-sensitive.
・ Separate between a command and a parameter by single space (0x20).
・ From the head of the input character to the linefeed code (CR) is defined as a single serial command.
・ Parameters start with 0x are regarded as hexadecimal, parameters start with 0b are regarded as binary, and
others are regarded as decimal.
・ Commands analyze parameters from the head to identifiable letters.
・ Please refer to “Section 5.2. Command List” for details on address and data.
・ Do not input values and letters other than those explained in the above and those mentioned in “Section 5.2.
Command List”.
・ Camera receives the returned command from host, and echoes the command back. At this time, camera
converts the linefeed code (CR) to CR LF and echoes the code back.
(4) Setting examples
【Example of GU command】
To get the information of the address 10
[Send] GU[sp]10[¥r]
[Returned value] GU[sp]10[¥r][¥n] [Echo back]
[Returned value] 50[¥r] [¥n] [Acquired data + Linefeed]
[Returned value] [¥r] [¥n] [Linefeed]
[Returned value] >[sp] [Prompt (> and space)]
[¥r]=CR(0x0D)
[¥n]=LF(0x0A)
[sp]=Space(0x20)

VCC-HD5 Rev. 905-0273-Z1

【Example of SU command】
To set 30 to the address 10
[Send] SU[sp]10[sp]30[¥r]
[Returned value] SU[sp]10[sp]30[¥r][¥n] [Echo back]
[Returned value] [¥r] [¥n] [Linefeed]
[Returned value] >[sp] [Prompt (> and space)]
5.1.1 Changing Speed of Serial Communication
Baud Rate command (SU 725) changes transfer rate of serial communication out of 9600bps, 38400bps, and
115200bps.
 The changes made are reflected after rebooting camera, not immediately after executing the command.
 Execute SAVE command (SU 705) to save the setting values.
 Baud rate command is not subject to Init command (SU 700) so that executing Init command does not restore
settings.
 Baud rate command is not subject to Camera Setting Store/Load command (SU 100/101).
 Only when baud rate setting is 9600bps, user can use the optional remote controller RU-100.
