On-Screen Menu to Simplify the Setting of
Highly Advanced Functions
The on-screen menu makes adjustment operations simple and
efficient. You can make these adjustments while looking at the
object image. A list of the functions of each camera are shown on
the monitor screen. Simply select the
appropriate presets and press buttons in
order to complete the setting of the Color
Matrix Control, the Red Enhancement, the
Gamma Correction and many other highly
advanced functions.
A Scene File Function to Store and
Recall Setting Information
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,when using an
endoscopic camera,you can store the
settings for internal organ photography in
SCENE 1 and that for joint photography
in SCENE 2.
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, or set a sensing area manually.
This function is effective for Microscopy or whenever you cannot
illuminate the subject area uniformly.
2-Dimensional Low-Pass Filter to Control Moire
The set-up menu includes the 2D Low-Pass Filter. You can turn ON
1/3" GP-US532H and 1/4" GP-US542H. A single CCU allows
complete head interchargeability. The GP-US522H has a horizontal
resolution of over 800 lines, a minimum scene illumination of 5 lx,
and a standard sensitivity of F11 (2000 lx); it uses the special C-
Mount. The GP-US532H has a horizontal resolution of over 750
lines, a minimum scene illumination of 9 lx, and a standard sensitivity
of F8 (2000 lx); it uses a C-Mount. Both models offer a S/N ratio of 62
dB. The GP-US542HP has a horizontal resolution of over 700 lines,
a minimum scene illumination of 15 lx, and a standard sensitivity of
F7 (2000 lx).

Full-featured, easy-to-use Camera Control Unit (for all three cameras)
For those who demand the finest in high image quality
Three types of outstanding 3CCD micro camera heads
ideal which is for a broad spectrum of needs.
Equipped with image processing 10-bit DSP and Panasonic proprietary digital noise reduction circuit,
these cameras deliver true-like color. With its 800 lines of horizontal resolution,
the GP-US522 is definitely the leader in its class.
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 sec
and 1/10,000 sec) ELC (Electric Light Control) Function.
Frame Integration-Higher Vertical Resolution
In addition to field integration, frame integration is available to provide
a picture with high vertical resolution, which is ideal for Microscopy.
Doubled Sensitivity*-Clear Photography
of Dark Areas
*
Compared with our conventional models (GP-US522H only)
The GP-US522H, the GP-US532H and the GP-US542H have high
sensitivity level. The sensitivity of GP-US522 at F11*(2000 lx) is twice
as high as that of our conventional models. And, its high sensitivity has
reduced the minimum scene illumination to 5 lx. These new cameras
produce a clear image of areas that are typically lost in the darkness,
particularly during endoscopic surgery.

When the camera head GP-US522H is used.
S/N Ratio of over 62 dB-Better Picture Quality
The GP-US522H, the GP-US532H and the GP-US542H have a high
signal-to-noise ratio (6 dB higher than conventional models).
*
GP-US522H, GP-US532H…62dB/GP-US542H…60dB
Gamma Correction-Improves Dynamic Range
The set-up menu includes the gamma correction function. You can
select optimum contrast settings in both bright and dark areas. This
function prevents blurring and thus provides a clearer picture even in
bright or dark areas.
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 the red color, very fine adjustment is
available, which is particularly useful for medical applications. With
this function, you can make optimum color adjustments for various
systems and applications.
Over 800-Line Horizontal Resolution
GP-US522H: A 1/2" CCD with 410,000 pixels provides the best picture
quality. Horizontal resolution is more than 800 lines. The
GP-US532H using a 1/3" CCD has a horizontal resolution of 750 lines.
The GP-US542 using a 1/4" CCD has a horizontal resolution of 700
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, thus ensuring good image clarity.
Red Enhancement
By switching ON the RED DTL in the set-up menu, you can enhance
only the red color while adjusting other details as usual. The red
color is reproduced with high resolution. This function is particularly
designed for medical applications.
