Parts and their functions

Camera selector switches [CAMERA]
These are used to select one camera and one CCU as
the pair which is to be controlled by the MSU.
A camera is selected by pressing the camera selector
switch with the same number as the camera to be
selected (its lamp will light). The selection is released by
pressing the camera selector switch of the selected
camera (its lamp will turn off).
When a camera selector switch is pressed, the MSU
settings (such as the switch lamp lighting and selection)
are performed using the information on the settings for
the camera concerned.
The details of the functions given below apply when one
or more camera selector switches have been selected.
4
MODE ON/OFF switches
These switches are for setting the camera operation
modes. The modes corresponding to the switches with
the lighted lamps are selected.
5600K switch [5600K MODE]
This is used to change the amplification rate of the GBR
signals by an electrical circuit to achieve the white
balance that corresponds to the color temperature of
5600K. When it is pressed, the B video signal is
attenuated by approximately -6 dB, the R video signal is
boosted by approximately 3 dB, and the G video signal is
not attenuated. Select this switch when shooting under a
5600K light source or shooting outdoors.
Lighted:
5600K
Off:
3200K
Flare switch [FLARE OFF MODE]
This is used to cancel the flare correction function (which
suppresses the rise of the pedestal in proportion to the
light quantity).
Lighted:
Flare correction OFF (flare correction function
is canceled)
Off:
Flare correction function is valid.
Black gamma ON switch [BLACK GAMMA ON MODE]
This is used to enable the black gamma function (which
changes the video signal amplification rate in parts where
the light quantity is low).
Lighted:
Black gamma ON (black gamma function is
valid)
Off:
Black gamma function is canceled.
Gamma OFF switch [GAMMA OFF MODE]
This is used to cancel the gamma correction function
(which provides the signal level of the video signals with
the reverse characteristics matching the TV video signal
input and light-emitting level characteristics).
Lighted:
Gamma correction OFF (gamma correction
function is canceled)
Off:
Gamma correction function is valid.
Knee OFF switch [KNEE OFF MODE]
This is used to cancel the knee function that attenuates
those parts of the video signals where a particular level
(knee point) has been exceeded so that they will not
become saturated as easily.
Lighted:
Knee OFF (knee function is canceled)
Off:
Knee function is valid.
White clip OFF switch [WHITE CLIP OFF MODE]
This is used to cancel the white clip function by which the
video signal output is clipped (saturated).
Lighted:
White clip OFF (white clip OFF function is valid)
Off:
White clip ON
Matrix ON switch [MATRIX ON MODE]
This is used to enable the matrix function by which the
chroma saturation is compensated for the G (green), B
(blue), R (red), Ye (yellow), Cy (cyan) and Mg (magenta)
signals and by which the chroma saturation and hue are
compensated for the I (skin tone) signals.
Lighted:
Matrix ON (color correction function is valid)
Off:
Matrix OFF
PM character display switch [CHARACTER]
This is used to set the characters to be displayed on the
PM to ON or OFF.
HDTV detail OFF switch [HD.DTL OFF MODE]
This is used to cancel the detail enhancer function that
enhances (adjusts the relative hardness/softness of) the
picture quality in the detailed parts of the HDTV video
output.
Lighted:
Detail enhancer OFF (function for enhancing
picture quality in detailed parts canceled)
Off:
Detail enhancer ON
SDTV detail OFF switch [SD.DTL OFF MODE]
This is used to cancel the detail enhancer function that
enhances (adjusts the relative hardness/softness of) the
picture quality in the detailed parts of the SDTV video
output.
Lighted:
Detail enhancer OFF (function for enhancing
picture quality in detailed parts canceled)
Off:
Detail enhancer ON
HDTV skin tone detail ON switch [HD SKIN ON MODE]
This is used to suppress the detail in the skin color parts
of the HDTV video output.
SDTV skin tone detail ON switch [SD SKIN ON MODE]
This is used to suppress the detail in the skin color parts
of the SDTV video output.
