Features of the camera unit
Wide-ranging video gain selection
A value ranging from –6 dB to +30 dB can be selected
for the gain using the setting menu and GAIN switch.
Even when the gain is increased for shooting in dark
locations, images with minimal noise can be obtained
because of the high signal-to-noise ratio. The super
gain function can be allocated to the USER button,
and 30 dB can be selected using this button.
Automatic adjustment of black balance and white
balance, and memory function
The black balance and white balance can be adjusted
automatically by means of some simple switch
operations.
The adjustment settings remain stored in the memory
even after the power has been turned off so that the
need for the balance to be re-adjusted each time the
power is turned on is obviated.
Two memories, A and B, are used to store the white
balance, and it is possible to retain two adjustment
settings per color temperature conversion filter,
making for a total of 8 settings altogether.
When the color temperature conversion filter is
rotated, it is automatically adjusted to the white
balance. (Using menu settings, this can be set for two
filters only rather than for each and every filter.)
When the unit is shipped, 3200 K is stored as the
preset value for the white balance. This value can
always be recalled when no time is available to
perform adjustments.
(The preset value can be switched between 3200 K
and 4300 K.)
Character display function
The unit comes with functions for showing the switch
settings, automatic black balance and white balance
adjustment statuses, warning displays, etc. on the
viewfinder screen.
Moreover, when a battery in the Digital Magnum
Series made by Anton/Bauer Corporation is used as
the unit’s power supply, the remaining battery charge
can be displayed as a numerical value on the
viewfinder screen.
Warning system for indicating VTR unit statuses
The user is alerted to problems in the VTR, tape-end,
battery consumption, etc. by various alarm lamps and
alarm tones. The remaining tape time can also be
checked by a character display inside the viewfinder.
4-piece filter disc sets available as standard
accessories
The filter best suited to the subject’s brightness and
color temperature can be selected. Two independent
sets of filter discs, one for CC and one for ND, each
with four filter discs, are provided as standard
accessories.
Automatic aperture reference value finely adjusted
The reference value used for the automatic aperture
adjustment can be finely adjusted by performing
setting menu operations.
Generation of color bar signals and reference
audio signals
The unit contains a circuit for generating color bar
signals so that a color monitor can easily be adjusted.
It also incorporates a circuit for generating reference
level audio signals to enable the audio level to be
adjusted with ease.
