Phenomena inherent to CCD imaging device
The following phenomena are inherent to a charge coupled device imaging element and do not indicate malfunction.
1) Smear and blooming
Vertical bands are visible when a strong light enters the scene. Adjust the camera aiming direction carefully to
avoid strong direct or reflected light.
2) Fixed pattern noise
High ambient temperature can cause fixed pattern noise to appear throughout the scene.
3) Moire
Interaction between patterns can produce an additional "phantom" pattern to appear. The CCD picture elements
(pixels) are arranged in a pattern, which can interact with a pattern in the scene (e.g., a performer wearing a finely
striped necktie) to result in a Moire pattern. The effect should be considered when selecting costumes, props and
other scene elements.
4) Ghosting
Strong direct or reflected light near an object of interest can cause ghosting of the object to appear in the picture.
The effect is more obtrusive with certain iris settings and lens types. Select the scene layout and camera pointing
direction carefully in order to avoid this effect.
5
）
White spot
Imperceptible white spots may rarely come up on the screen due to cosmic rays and so on. It becomes easy to appear
when the sensitivity of the camera is raised in the operation at the high temperature.
Combination with a microscope
The following phenomena occur by combining a camera and optical apparatus and do not indicate malfunction.
1) Vignetting
Depending on a microscope, light may enter into a camera at an angle larger than a lens for large view reservation,
and the portion which becomes dark at the screen upper and lower ends may occur. This phenomenon can be
reduced by the shading compensation function of a camera. However, this phenomenon cannot be rectified
completely. When accessories, such as a relay lens, are prepared for the microscope, vignetting may improve
optically.

K
Operating considerations Notes to users
1. Important safety notes
・
Please supply the direct current 12V of the camera input power supply within the range of 11 to 13V
・
Time will be needed for about four seconds by the time the camera works normally after turning on the power supply.
・
Observe that flammable objects, water or metal do not enter the camera interior. These may lead to failure or
accident.
・
Do not modify the camera or use the camera with external covers removed. These may cause failure, void any
warranties and pose a safety hazard.
・
Sop using the camera at the approach of electrical storm (thunder audible). Protect the camera from rain if using it
outdoors.
・
In event the camera shows any abnormality, switch off the camera and disconnect the power cord. Contract a Hitachi
Denshi service representative.
2. Handling
・
Do not attempt to remove cover.
・
When installing or removing a lens, be sure to use care that water or dust dose not enter the inside of the camera.
3. Installing and storage
Avoid installing or storing the camera in the following environments.
・
Environments exposed to direct sunlight, rain or snow.
・
Environments where combustible or corrosive gas exists.
・
Excessively warm or cold environment (Operating ambient temperature: -10 to 50
℃
).
・
Humid or dusty environment.
・
Place subjected to excessive vibration or shock.
・
Environment exposed to strong electric or magnetic field.
・
Do not aim the camera lens at the sun.
・
Do not shoot strong light.
When such a scene is shot, vertical trailing will appear. However, this is not due to failure. In case strong light enters
camera through the lens, partial deterioration in picture quality will result.
4. To obtain stable performance for long time
When the camera is used continuously for long time under high ambient temperature, the inside electrical parts
become deteriorated, resulting in shortening its life. To use the camera continuously for long time, the highest
temperature must be below 40
℃
.
5. Connectors
Confirm the power is off before connecting or disconnecting a signal cable. Grasp connectors by the body, not the
attached wires.
6. Cleaning
・
Use a blower or a lens brush to remove dusts on the lens or the optical filter.
・
Wipe dirts on the case off with dry soft cloth. If dirks are hardened, wipe them off with cloth moistened with neutral
detergent liquid; wipe the cover with dry cloth.
・
Do not use benzene, thinner, alcohol, liquid cleaner or spray-type cleaner.
・
In event dust or other debris is lodged between the CCD and optical filter, consult dealer for cleaning by an optical
technician.

Features
・High resolution and color fidelity
The 1/1.8-inch 2.0 million pixels square lattices progressive scan CCD and dichroic prism for RGB color achieves a high
resolution picture and good color reproduction.
・Small and lightweight
The small SDR connector for digital output allows the camera size and mass to be drastically reduced to 55(W) x 55(H) x
89(D) mm / approx. 370g.
・Various picture quality enhancement
Independent size color masking is the Hitachi innovation for optimizing color balance. Saturation and hue of 6 colors (Red,
Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow) can be adjusted independently to deliver the best color in image capture,
microscope and other applications.
In-out gradation control can be arbitrarily adjusted by using LUT.
・Auto shading correction
Color shading due to aberration of the lens is automatically compensated or reduced.
・Versatile CCD drive functions
Video frame capture on demand using external trigger signal
Long integration mode (max. 10 seconds)
Variable shutter mode (min. 1/100,000 second)
Auto electronic shutter mode

Camera mounting (Attention Hot!)
This camera has high data rate for high frame rate. A camera chassis will become a very high temperature by high data rate.
Please be careful about handling so that you don't get burned.
Please don't touch the camera a power supply is supplied with. Please wait a moment until a camera gets cold after stopping
supply of a power supply.
When doing the handling which touches a camera, a heat sink is needed.
The heat sink size : Like a size of t10mm x 170mm x 170mm by aluminum plate.

Lens
Selecting a lens
The proper lens is important for obtaining adequate performance from the camera.
Especially in the case of a three elements CCD system C mount camera, the lens
incidence and exit distances are important. If separation is too short, color
irregularity Is apt to occur at the top and bottom of the image.
Conversely if too long, where the lens iris is a nearly fully open, resolution is
impaired, while shading and flare can seriously detract from image quality. When
using 3 CCD color system camera, it is also recommended to use a lens designed
for this purpose.
