MAINTENANCE OF RoHS-COMPLIANT PRODUCTS
MAINTENANCE OF RoHS-COMPLIANT PRODUCTS
Pay attention to the following during maintenance of RoHS-compliant products.
1. Identification
- For products that comply with the RoHS directive, the letter "E" is appended at the end of the serial number on the label. If the
letter “E” cannot be appended to the serial number, it will be indicated at a distinguishable position on the label. An example of
its indication on a main label is shown below.

RoHS-compliant Product
Label
BS-***
- Print-circuit boards of RoHS-compliant products are manufactured by the following methods.
[1] Blue resist ink is used for the print-circuit board. (The color of conventional print-circuit boards is green.)
[2] They are indicated by one of the following marks in the form of screen printing or a label.
Phase3A Phase3
2. Soldering
Since the melting point of lead-free solder used for RoHS-compliant products is 20 to 45 degrees Celsius higher than that of
conventional lead solder (Sn-Pb eutectic solder), the soldering iron needs to be set to a high temperature. Taking into consideration
the upper temperature limit of the parts-and to ensure stable work, use a soldering iron with excellent thermal recovery
characteristics.
- Recommended solder composition is "Sn/3.0Ag/0.5Cu" or equivalent.
8VHDVHSDUDWHVROGHULQJLURQH[FOXVLYHO\IRU5R+6SURGXFWVWKDWLVGL൵HUHQWIURPWKHH[LVWLQJVROGHULQJLURQ
- Set the temperature of the soldering bit to 350 to 370 degrees Celsius.
The temperature may need to be adjusted according to the size of the copper foil land on the print-circuit board and the tip width
of the soldering bit.
/HDGIUHHVROGHU¿QLVKDSSHDUVGXOOHURUZKLWLVKLQFRORUFRPSDUHGWRFRQYHQWLRQDOOHDGVROGHU
- If the wiring of the main unit or the circuit board is polluted with lead solder by the user, repair of the product will not be covered
under the warranty as it is impossible to remove the polluted solder.
3. Parts
Be sure to use parts that comply with the RoHS directive.

Equipped with a video circuit that supports 3Gbps transmission
and the 3G-SDI format, the BSX-100 is half-rack size base
station that can be used with the 3G-compatible "Unicam HD"
camera series to construct a multi format system.
The base station and the camera head are connected using a
FRUHRSWLFDOFRPSRVLWHFDEOHWZRVLQJOHPRGH¿EHUVIRXU
power wire and two control wires). It can be extended to a
maximum of 2000m when a portable camera head is used and
up to 1000m(*) when operating using a large camera head and
build-up unit.

communication, the Ethernet communication function can also
be used for communication with the camera remote control.
■SDR / HDR Gamma Conversion,
BT.2020 Color Matrix Conversion
Flexible operation is made possible with gamma conversion
according to the HDR and the BT.2020 color matrix conversion
functions.
* It is necessary to connect this product to a camera head that
supports HDR.
■Supports Installation of 4K
Upconverter (Optional)
The 4K (UHD) format output is supported with the use of an
optional software.
12G-SDI output can also be supported by mounting a 12G-SDI
unit to the empty slot.
The 4K system can be made possible without changing the
usability of the existing HDTV camera system.
* It is necessary to set the camera head to the 1080p progressive
format.

■"Segmented Frame"
Segmented frame is a method for converting a progressive
video by extracting video signals for each line and converting
them into an interlaced video.

A characteristic feature of segmented frames is that there is no

progressive signal.
The PsF (Progressive segmented Frame) method has been
widely adopted since the appearance of the 24P format as

Also, as the 1080PsF29.97 signals can be processed as

is increasingly used in recent years for creating a time-lapse

3.2 GENLOCK System
3.2 GENLOCK System
This section explains the input/output synchronization signals
and illustrates examples on connection of the GENLOCK
system for this product.
■Input Synchronization Signal
The output video signal is synchronously coupled to
the reference synchronization signal that is input to the
"REFERENCE" connector. The phase between the output
video signal and reference synchronization signal can be
changed in both the horizontal and vertically directionsl from
the menu screen.
The REFERENCE connector supports the following
synchronization signals.
- HDTV PS/S (tri-level sync)
- SDTV BBS
■
Output Synchronization Signal
The "SYNC OUT" connector outputs the tri-level SYNC with
a phase that matches the output video signal.
Both horizontal and vertical output phases can be changed in
the BS MENU.

SYSTEM FORMAT of BS/CCU: 1080i59.94
Format of camera head: 1080i59.94
Synchronization signal input to the REF connector

- When format conversion is performed
The following example uses 1080P/23.98PD as the format of
the camera head.
In addition, 1080P/23.98 is used as the output of the format
conversion.
