providing flicker-free operation. In the absence of a shutter
pulse (e.g., when the camera stops running) the Color Six
defaults to 30 fps.
2. FLKR: In Flicker, the Color Six runs at the NTSC standard
30 frames per second. This will produce at least some degree
of flicker in the scene through the taking lens of a running
film camera.
3. MAN: In Manual, the operator has the option of adjusting
the video frame rate from 1 to 99.99 in increments of .01 fps.
Color/Monochrome
The next option on this menu selects either COLOR or
BLK&WT video for all outputs.
Gain
The operator can select between AGC (Automatic Gain
Control) or MAN (manual). In the latter case, the number
immediately following MAN in the display can be changed
by the usual means. Note that the numbers displayed for this
and other gain parameters are relative indications only, and
do not reflect the actual system, channel or function gain.
Electronic Shutter
The electronic shutter can either be ON or OFF at the
operator’s choice. In the ON position, scenes with action will
show less motion blurring when viewed in slow motion or
frame by frame. The downside is less sensitivity at low light
levels.
