of power source.
The back-focus setting is adjusted at the factory. It
should therefore not be necessary for the user to adjust
this setting.

1. General
The The HO-S321 LunaVision is a colour 480 TVL
1/2” electronic day/night camera designed to
deliver high performance in extreme
temperatures.
The camera is an electronic day/night camera,
meaning it can automatically switch between
colour and monochrome operation depending on
the light level. It also features an Extended Night
Mode, with up to 64 fields integration.
It is designed to operate in temperatures ranging
from -30°C to +70°C and is therefore suitable for
installation in e.g. areas with very warm climate
without the expense of installing a cooling
system.
Conducted cooling
The LunaVision camera uses conducted cooling to
remove heat from the CCD sensor. The main
benefit of this is that it reduces the noise from
the CCD thereby providing a better video image,
particularly in low-light conditions.
Precision mounted CCD
The CCD sensor of the HO-S321 is precision
mounted with reference to the lens mount which
makes bore-sighting of camera and optics
possible.

a. White balance
This function is to adjust the color temperature to make the color of the image correct.
3200 K: For incandescent lamp or halogen lamp*
4600 K: For white fluorescent lamp.
5600 K: For daylight.
Auto (AWB): from 3000K to 10000K
Manual: To adjust the color temperature between 2700K to 6700K.
b. Shutter
This function is used for "freezing" objects and for tight regulations. Nine exposure time settings are
available.
OFF : 1/60 sec. (NTSC), 1/50 sec. (PAL)
Selectable shutter: 1/125 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4,000, 1/10000 sec.
Flicker-less: 1/100 sec. (NTSC), 1/120 sec. (PAL). Used to eliminate flicker that can occur in the
image when operating with artificial light, such as incandescent bulbs or fluorescent
tubes.
CCD iris: Shutter speed changes automatically.
(1/60 sec. to 1/10000 sec. (NTSC), 1/50 sec. to 1/10000 sec. (PAL)
CAUTION:
Under certain unique light conditions, the following may appear.
- Strong smear and/or blooming on highlighted objects.
- Noticeable flicker in the picture.
CCD iris
Continuous variable electronic shutter controls the exposure time of the CCD sensor, depending on the
incoming light level. When this mode is selected, manual iris lens can be used instead of an auto iris
lens.
Auto iris lens can be used only when the CCD iris is OFF.

c. AGC (Auto gain control)
OFF : Gain is fixed at minimum 0 dB
+12dB: AGC ON (0 to +12 dB)
+24 dB: AGC ON (0 to +24 dB)
Manual: Manual gain
d. BLC (Back Light Compensation)
BLC circuit will compensate for extreme highlights in the field of view.
There are three pre-defined patterns that can be selected. These are shown below. The higher the value,
the more backlight compensation. Factory default is OFF.
CAUTION:
The BLC works under the following conditions :

Legend Ο = Effective X = Not-effective
It is recommended to switch "BLC OFF" when using the camera with pan/tilt head or if the scene
illumination changes rapidly.
With "BLC ON" the regulation speed of the iris is decreased.
e. Iris level
This is to set the video out level, when the camera is set at CCD iris or direct drive. Factory default setting is
in the middle of the adjustment range.

7. External appearance
8. Typical CCD Characteristics
The following effects may be observed on the video monitor screen. They do not indicate any fault of the
CCD camera, but do associate with typical CCD characteristics.
Vertical Smear
Due to an excessive bright object such as electric lighting, sun or strong reflection, vertical smear may be
visible on the video monitor screen. This phenomenon is related to the characteristics of Interline Transfer
system employed in the CCD.
Vertical aliasing
When the CCD camera shoots stripes, straight lines or similar patterns, jagged image on the monitor may
be appeared.
Blemishes
Some pixel defects can occur, but this does not affect the practical operation.
Patterned noise
When the CCD camera shoots a dark object at high temperature, fixed pattern noise (dots) may appear on
the monitor.
