one set of four DIP switches. An additional set of switches is located under a
narrow panel on the top of the camera body, and may be accessed by removing
the two small Philips screws.
The VIDEO connector provides a composite video signal which may be routed to a
monitor via the supplied BNC cable.
The circular 12 pin connector marked DC IN accepts the mating plug on the PP108A
power supply. This connector also includes an S-Video (or Y/C) signal which may
be routed from the 4 pin mini-DIN connector on the PP108A to an appropriate
monitor using the supplied S-Video cable. This is the preferred video connection.
Rotary Controls
The control in the lower left corner of the panel labeled GAIN may be used to
adjust the level of the video image in either manual or automatic smooth shutter
modes.
The control in the lower right corner of the panel labeled COLOR may be used to
adjust the red/blue color balance of the image to compensate for different color
temperature lighting systems.
DIP Switches
The first two DIP switches on the back of the camera are used to set the level of
edge enhancement. This ranges from soft to very harsh vertical edges useful in
bringing out details or determining a transition point. Move the switch levers up for
ON, or down for OFF. The possible setting combinations are:
Soft Edge SW1 = OFF SW2 = OFF
Normal Edge SW1 = ON SW2 = OFF (DEFAULT)
Moderate Edge SW1 = OFF SW2 = ON
Hard Edge SW1 = ON SW2 = ON
The third and fourth DIP switches are used to set gamma correction. Move the
switch levers up for ON, or down for OFF. The possible setting combinations are:
Gamma 1.0 SW3 = OFF SW4 = OFF
Gamma 0.6 SW3 = ON SW4 = OFF
Gamma 0.45 SW3 = OFF SW4 = ON (DEFAULT)
Gamma 0.2 SW3 = ON SW4 = ON

There are eight DIP switches located under a cover plate on the top of the camera
body. The first four of these are not used for normal operation and should be set
to the OFF position. Switches 5, 6, and 7 are used to set the shutter mode or
speed. The available settings are:
Manual 1/60 sec. SW5 = OFF SW6 = OFF SW7 = OFF
Manual 1/1000 sec. SW5 = ON SW6 = OFF SW7 = OFF
Automatic Shutter SW5 = OFF SW6 = ON SW7 = OFF
Smooth Auto Shutter SW5 = OFF SW6 = OFF SW7 = ON (*)
The back panel gain control will function normally in either of the manual modes.
When using the automatic (fast) shutter, the camera will override the gain
adjustment. In Smooth Auto Shutter mode (*DEFAULT), the control will override
the automatic setting.
Switch number 8 allows the camera to display a negative image when in the ON
position. The camera produces a normal image when this switch is in the OFF
position (DEFAULT).
