・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, it will be high-impedance.).
・When an external signal specified the above is input, the camera will be in external sync mode automatically.
・When no external signal is input, the camera will operate in internal sync mode.
・Right after external signals are input, images may be disturbed but this is not malfunction.
・When a signal other than the specified above chart is input to the EXT SYNC IN terminal, disturbed image or no
image may be shown.
・Right after when the camera was booted or when output format was changed, difference between the video signals
and the external sync signals would occur with the maximum differences of ±10 pixels. If this difference (error)
cannot be accepted, lock with external sync automatically, then tune it with user adjustment commands.
4.2 LTC (Longitudinal Time code)
Time code can be inserted to 3G-SDI signal.
External time code can be inserted with inputting LTC code to the LTC IN terminal of the 12pins connector. And,
when no signal is input into the LTC IN terminal, camera internal time code can be inserted.
Internal time code starts with 00:00:00:00 when power is turned ON, and when some signals are input into the LTC
IN terminal, it will be changed to external time code. With this situation, if no signal is input to the LTC IN terminal,
it becomes self-running from the set time code.
4.3 Defective Pixels Correction
In addition to the corrected defective pixels data registered at ex-factory, users can detect, register, or delete defective
pixels data occurred after shipping out from our factory. Please refer to the Section 5.2, Command List for the details.

4.3.1 Defective Pixels Type
There are two types of defective pixels data.
Defective Data at EX-Factory
Registered data at ex-factory, and these data cannot be over written.
Defective Data registered by users
Registered data by uses after shipment, and these data can be over written freely.
There are four groups of position data for defective pixels, No Flip, H Flip only, V Flip only, and both H/V Flip.
According to the combination of H Flip and V Flip settings, it changes automatically. When executing commands, the
data corresponds to the Flip settings at that time shall be the one to be detected, registered, or deleted.
4.3.2 Details on Defective Pixels Data
Defective pixels data are stored and controlled per four vertically divided area. Up to 64 points per reed, which makes
total 256 points, can be registered as user register data. Each area is overlapped with the adjusted area with 32
pixels width, and the points in the overlapped area shall be registered to both reeds. Please refer to the below for
the definition of reeds.
The coordinate system is based on the upper left origin. Each reed is defined as;
Reed Area 0 : (0,0) - (975, 2159)
Reed Area 1 : (944,0) - (1935 ,2159)
Reed Area 2 : (1904,0) - (2895, 2159)
Reed Area 3 : (2864,0) - (3839, 2159)
For example, if the defective pixel is at (943,0) position, the data shall be registered only to the reed Area 0.
However, if the defective pixel is at (944,0) position, the data shall be registered to both of the reed Area 0 and 1.
Area 0 Area 1 Area 2 Area 3

4.3.3 Notes for Defective Pixels Correction
Like other camera settings, the registered data cannot be saved unless otherwise SAVE command is executed.
Unlike other camera settings however, four kinds of data cannot be registered by using camera setting store.
(Defective pixels correction data are in common regardless of its preset number.) The same defective points cannot
be saved as both Ex-factory data and user registered data. Therefore, if the same defective points as ex-factory data
were detected, those points shall be ignored. If the user specify the pixel data with coordinates and ifthat coordinates
are the same as the one of ex-factory data, error shall be returned.
Please be noted that the detected results may not always be the same due to temperature, noise, and other conditions.
Even if the user specify a defective point with coordinate to register or delete, it cannot be executed if the data was
one of the ex-factory data. Neglecting this instruction may cause not only inappropriate pixel defect correction but
also failure of getting proper images.

3: Indicate the total number of all the
registered defective pixels per reed.
4: Indicate the number of user registered
defective pixels per reed.
This is to indicate the registered
defective pixels correction data.
(Dedicated to GU)
Note:
When "New registration" is specified with the defect detection command, only user registered data by defective pixels
detection shall be deleted, and no data registered by defective pixels registration command shall be deleted.
The registered defective pixels are classified to four types of attribute. Attribute [W] and [B] are for the data registered
at EX-Factory, attribute [U] is the data registered by user by defective pixels detection command, and attribute [P] is
the data registered by user by defective pixels registration command.
[GU 200] command shows the number of pixels classified with [U] attribute, and [GU 201] command shows the number
of pixels classified with [P] attribute.
Only user registered data can be changed, but the data at Ex-Factory would never be able to be changed.
The pixels which have already been registered as ex-factory data cannot be registered by user.
