7. Camera/Colour Bar Selector (CAM/BAR)

This selector is used to select either the video sig-
nal or the EBU colour bar signal which is output
from the video output connector (VIDEO), YC (S-
VIDEO) output connector or RGB (D-SUB, 9-pin)
output connector.

CAM :

The video signal from the camera is output.

BAR :

The EBU colour bar signal is output.

Set this switch to BAR when making video monitor

adjustments and recording the colour bar signal.

8. White Balance Selector (ATW/AWC/MANU)

This selector is used to select one of the following

white balance modes.

ATW :

In this mode, the colour temperature is mon-

itored continuously and thereby white balance

is set automatically.

AWC :

In this mode, accurate white balance is

obtained.
The white balance settings are as follows:

1. Aim the camera at a white chart.
2. Press the ITEM (AWC) button on the front

panel to set the white balance.

3. When the auto white balance is completed,

the auto warning indicator first blinks and
then goes off.

If the auto warning indicator remains lit, repeat
the above procedure for setting the auto white
balance.

MANU :

The white balance can be adjusted manu-

ally with the red gain (R GAIN) and blue gain

controls (B GAIN).

9. Auto Warning Indicator

This indicator blinks while the white balance or

black balance is being automatically set. This indi-

cator lights continuously when the white balance or

black balance is set improperly. In this case, follow

the auto white balance or black balance setting

procedure.

10. Red and Blue Gain Controls (R GAIN/B GAIN)

These controls are used to manually adjust the

white balance.

These controls only work when the white balance

selection switch (ATW/AWC/MANU) is set to

MANU.

Turn the controls clockwise to increase the red and

blue signal levels, and counterclockwise to

decrease.

(AWC).
