Highly Advanced Functions
While continuing to maintain the same superior sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio, horizontal resolution and
color reproduction capability as before, new camera heads have been added for use with this first in the industry
CCD drive system. To meet the metal fatigue test required for imaging dark areas and miniscule differences in
color shadings, appropriate solid images are provided for a wide variety of environments.
Super Compact and
High Performance
Gamma Correction, Improved Dynamic Range
Equipped with Mirror and Rotation Functions
The angle of photographed images can be altered
to make them easier to observe.
2-Dimensional Low-Pass Filter to Control Moire
The 1/2-type CCD Color Camera Head
GP-KS822H, weighing 14 g (excluding lens)
and capable of 480-line horizontal resolution, equipped with
a new function for rotating and reversing images in the camera control
unit GP-KS822CU, has succeeded in reaching a new level of high performance and microminiaturization.

The set-up menu includes a 2D Low-Pass Filter. You can turn ON or
OFF this function from the menu. The 2D Low-Pass Filter prevents
moire and improves image clarity.
Other Functions
Syncro-Scan adjusts the shutter timing for synchronization with a
computer display. Electronic Shutter (7 steps between 1/100 (PAL :
1/120) sec and 1/10,000 sec) ELC (Electric Light Control) Function.
Other functions include the freeze-image capturing function and 2.5 x
electronic zoom function. When the imaging subject is a moving object,
imaging it by the progressive system produces a high resolution image
that is free of blurs.
A Scene File Function for Storing and
Recalling Setting Information
Sensing Area Selection to Ensure Correct Exposures
You can select a sensing area from five presets: ALL, CENTER,
CIRCLE (Small), CIRCLE (Medium) and CIRCLE (Large), when AGC
or ELC is selected. Otherwise, it can be set for automatic or manual
operation.
This function is effective for microscopy or situations when you cannot
illuminate the subject area uniformly.
The set-up menu includes the gamma correction function. You can
select optimum contrast settings for both bright and dark areas. This
function prevents blurring and thus provides a clearer picture even in
bright or dark areas.
Over 800-Line Horizontal Resolution
GP-US522HB: The 1/2-type 3CCD with super high sensitivity pixels
provides the best picture quality. Horizontal resolution is more than 800
lines. The GP-US732H using a 1/3-type 3CCD has a horizontal
resolution of 750 lines.
Upgraded Contour Correction
The high-band aperture function increases the resolution by amplifying
the high frequency.
You can make horizontal and vertical contour adjustments separately to
ensure clear images.
Red Enhancement
By switching the RED DTL in the set-up menu to ON, you can enhance
only red colors; other details are adjusted as usual. Red colors are
reproduced by means of high resolution. This function is particularly
useful for biological research.
High Sensitivity, Clear Photography of Dark Areas
Both GP-US522HB and GP-US732H have high sensitivity level. With
sensitivity of F16 (2,000 lux), GP-US522HB can capture as scene with
minimum illumination reduced to 5 lux. These new cameras produce
clear images of areas that are typically lost in darkness because of
metal fatigue, particularly during research.
S/N (signal-to noise) Ratio of over 62 dB for
Better Picture Quality
The 3CCD Micro Camera Series has a high signal-to-noise ratio of over
62 dB.
Uses the progressive system for the first time
in the industry
Realizes sharp images with no flickering
For the first time in the industry, GP-US732H uses the progressive
system with a separated camera head and control unit. The progressive
system, compared to the former interlace scanning system which is
divided into two steps, accomplishes the scanning in one step by
dividing video images into even and odd fields. By so doing, the
resulting image is sharper with less flickering, making this an ideal
camera for use over a long period as a microscope camera for
research. Furthermore, because it is possible to switch the interlace
and progressive systems, when necessary, moving images can be
captured by the progressive system and image subjects with little
movement or where extra sensitivity is required can be captured by the
interlace system.
6-Axis Color Matrix Control
Function-Reproduction of Life-like Colors
Each color can be adjusted separately without changing the white
balance of the whole image. For red colors, very fine adjustment is
available, which is particularly useful for biological research. With this
function, you can make optimum color adjustments for various systems
and applications.
The camera control unit GP-
KS822CU uses a mirror function for
left-right reversal of images and a
rotation function for up-down, left-
right reversal. During operation, you
can manipulate an image to make it
easier to observe, resulting in
improved work efficiency.
Equipped with Freeze-Image Function
When necessary, you can freeze moving images in order to confirm
details.
Details may be adjusted using AWC/ATW
For your specific requirements, Camera Control Unit GP-KS822CU
facilitates detailed color adjustment by engaging Auto White Control
(AWC) or Auto Tracing White (ATW).

The on-screen menu facilitates simple and
efficient adjustment operations.
You can make these adjustments while
observing the object image. A list of the
functions of each camera is displayed on the
monitor screen. Simply select the appropriate
presets and press the appropriate buttons to
complete the setting of the Color Matrix Control, the Red
Enhancement, the Gamma Correction and many other highly advanced
functions.
You can store in the memory up to two
different scene files containing the settings
you have made in the on-screen menu. For
example, you can store the setting for imaging
bright subjects as Scene 1, the setting for
imaging dark subjects as Scene 2 and either
may be called up when needed.
