2. Resolution: 850 lines (HIGH BAND DTL: ON) S/N ratio: 67dB (DNR ON) (AW-E750, AW-E655, AW-E650) 66dB (DNR ON) (AW-E350) 3. Minimum illumination: 0.00005 lx (AW-E750, AW-E655, AW-E650) 0.00015 lx (AW-E350) 4. The built-in CCD storage function and digital gain up function provide an even higher degree of high sensitivity. -
Page 6: Special Notes On Operation
SPECIAL NOTES ON OPERATION • Turn power off before connecting or disconnecting cables. • Connection or disconnection of any studio cable, RCB cable or other cable to any unit of equipment must be performed while power is off. • While the camera is in automatic mode; Shooting of bright objects in ELC operation mode may result in a smeared picture unique to the CCD. -
Page 7: Precautions
PRECAUTIONS DON'TS • Do not attempt to disassemble the camera, Remote Control Unit (RCU) or other units. In order to pre- vent electric shock, do not remove screws or cov- ers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. • Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking, etc. - Page 8 • Refer any servicing to qualified service personnel. • Handle the camera with care. • Protect the precision made lens by placing the lens cap over when the camera is not in use. If the lens is not installed, protect the surface of the prism by placing the body cap into the lens mount hole.

Page 23: Adjustment
ADJUSTMENT AUTOMATIC WHITE BALANCE CONTROL (AWC) There are two white balance memories, “AWC A” or “AWC B” for two different light sources color tempera- tures, with the automatic white balance setting. Then, when the two different light sources are encountered, you may operate the camera properly by simply change the white balance mode to either AWC A or AWC B. - Page 24 Notes: • For white balance setting aim the camera at a white object and try to position it in the center of the monitor screen. The object must appear in over 10 % of the total monitor screen area. Try to avoid overly bright objects in the scene.
- Page 25 Minimize the carrier wave using the red & blue gain controls Waveform for white balance set chart RESET TO 3 200K OR 5 600K WHITE BALANCE When the white balance setting is set to either “P SET 3 200K” or “P SET 5 600K” the white balance will be automatically set to the color temperature 3 200K or 5 600K, respectively.
- Page 26 TOTAL PEDESTAL LEVEL ADJUST- MENT (Use an oscilloscope or a waveform monitor for this adjustment.) This step is to adjust the black levels (pedestal levels) of two or more cameras to be the same. [ADJUSTMENT by CAMERA] 1. Close the lens. 2.
- Page 27 GEN-LOCK ADJUSTMENT Phase adjustments must be performed with the camera or the RCU (RCB) when external synchronizing signals are supplied to the system in cases where multiple cameras are used or peripheral devices are connected. HORIZONTAL PHASE CONTROL Observe the waveform of the external synchronizing input signal (black burst signal) and video output signal on a two-channel oscilloscope.
- Page 28 CAUTION: When horizontal phase adjustment is required using RCU (RCB) or Hybrid Control Panel, BAR/CAM switch should be set to BAR. Horizontal phase cannot be adjusted if the switch is in the CAM position. After adjustment set BAR/CAM switch back to CAM.
