COLOR VIDEO CAMERA

Instructions

Thank you for purchasing the JVC color video camera.
To obtain the best results from your new camera, read these instructions carefully before use;
retain the manual for future reference.

WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE
TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

Due to design modification, data given in this instruction book are subject to possible change
without prior notice.

PRECAUTIONS

• If an AGC switch is turned on, the sensitivity increases automatically in dark places. It is not a

failure when the image looks grainy.

• If a zoom lens is used, check the back focus before mounting the camera. This also applies to

lens ALC and LEVEL. (See the instructions on lenses for details.)

• If a high-intensity object (such as a lamp) is shot, the image on the screen may have vertical

lines (smear) or blur (blooming) at its periphery (especially in AES mode). This is a character-
istic of the CCD, and is not a defect.

• If an EE lens is used, set the automatic electronic shutter switch (AES) to OFF. If set to ON,

flickering may occur. If a manual iris lens is used, set the AES to ON.

• The automatic tracking system may not function properly when shooting with non-standard

lighting or lighting with a color temperature which exceeds the capability of the camera. In such
a case, set to the “MANU” position.

• If the camera subject is a single solid color (other than white), the auto white circuit will nor-

mally attempt to change this color to white. In the case of this camera, if it cannot make a
correct prediction, the previous white balance setting will be maintained until the subject colors
become more varied.

• Where there are strong electromagnetic waves or magnetism, for example near a radio or TV

transmitter, transformer, motor, etc., the picture may contain noise and the colors may be
incorrect.

MOUNTING A LENS

1. Before mounting a lens, check whether it is a C-mount or CS-mount lens.

If a C-Mount lens is used, loosen the back focus locking screw (a), and then turn the
back focus adjustment ring with a screw driver or other tool with a tapered tip in the
direction indicated by the arrow to change the mounting method.

2. Dimension (b) of the lens shown in the illustration must be as shown in the table

below. If (b) exceeds the value in the table, it may damage the inside of the camera or
correct mounting may be impossible; never use such lenses. Do not attach the C-
mount lens when using a CS-mount.

The F mark indicates a focal point.

3. Mount the lens on the camera by turning the lens clockwise. Adjust its posiiton.
4. When using an auto-iris lens with an EE amplifier, turn the switch to the “VIDEO”

side. When no EE amplifier is equipped, turn the switch to the “DC” side.

5. If the lens has an auto-iris mechanism,

Connect the lens cable after checking the pin arrangement.
If the lens cable has a different type of plug, use the 4-pin plug supplied.

6. If the cable is too long, house it in the camera mounting bracket.

CONNECTION

1. When the camera is powered, the POWER LED lights up.

Power supply: AC 24V

(isolated power only) or DC12V

• Never connect the DC 12V and AC 24V power inputs simultaneously.
• Be sure to observe the c, – polarity when connecting a DC 12V power

input.

How to use the ferrite core

Make absolutely sure that the attached ferrite cores are installed near the iris con-
nector to reduce the emission of needless waves for the lens cable to be connected
to this unit.(Fasten the cable using the attached wire clamp.)

2. Connect to a video monitor, etc. (75

Ω

)

3. To install the camera onto a tripod, fixing unit, or pan/tilt unit, use the fall-preventive

socket (d) shown in the illustration.
Special precautions must be taken for mounting the camera on a wall or a ceiling.
We are not liable for any damage caused by improper installation.

4. Installation of camera

• Mounting from the bottom

This camera is originally designed to be mounted from the bottom, as shown

. The hole is

standard photographic pan-head screw size (1/4"-20). Example the Fixing unit or Pan/Tilt unit.

• Mounting from the top

Remove the CAMERA MOUNTING BRACKET (e) from the bottom of the camera by removing
three fixing screws as shown

. Attach the CAMERA MOUNTING BRACKET (e) to the top,

then mount the camera on the Fixing Unit as shown

. Make sure that three original screws

are used when mounting the CAMERA MOUNTING BRACKET (e); longer type screws (over
5mm) may damage inner components.
(This camera is used indoor and under similar conditions.)
