Camera system setting [SYSTEM SETUP]
Performs the settings relating to the camera system such as synchronization, alarm input/output terminal, and privacy zone. 
The following settings can be configured on the "SYSTEM SETUP" screen displayed from the top screen. Refer to page 5 for how 
to call up the screen. 
10. Synchronization method selection [SYNC]
This unit supports the following 3 types of synchronization methods, and one of the following is selected. 
 (1)  Multiplexed vertical drive signal (VD2)
  (2)  Synchronization is performed on the basis of the power supply frequency. 
  (3)  Internal synchronization (INT) (default)
Input  of  a  multiplexed  vertical  drive  signal  (VD2)  automatically  switches  to  the  VD2  synchronization  even  if  the  camera  is  set  to 
other than the VD2 synchronization method. 
When other than the VD2 synchronization is selected, either the power supply synchronization or internal synchronization can be 
selected. 
Note:
	 •	 The	 power	supply	 synchronization	 (LL)	setting	 is	changeable	 only	in	the	 60	Hz	 areas.	 The	power	 supply	 synchronization	 (LL)	
cannot be setup in the 50 Hz areas. 
Setting of the power supply synchronization (LL) mode
The adjusting video signal of the camera and the criterial external synchronizing input signal (power) are connected to a 2-input 
oscilloscope and the phase is adjusted. 
Note:
	 •	 Movement	 of	the	 camera	 or	presence	 of	a	spike	 noise	 in	the	 power	 line	may	 cause	 vertical	 phase	change.	 In	such	 a	case,	
adjust the phase again. 
Follow the procedure below.

Back focus setting [BACK-FOCUS SETUP]
Selects  the  back  focus  setting  type  and  performs  fine  adjustment.  The  following  setting  can  be  configured  on  the  "BACK-
FOCUS SETUP" screen displayed from the top screen. Refer to page 5 for how to call up the screen. 
The lens adjustment (☞ Installation Guide) shall be performed before the back focus adjustment. 

The back focus adjustment is performed by changing the distance between the lens and focal point. 
Follow the procedure below. 
Important:
	 •	 The	auto	back	 focus	 function	 is	used	 for	back	 focus	 adjustment	 at	installation	 and	for	focus	 correction	 at	switching	 between	
the color and black-and-white modes after installation. This function is not a function that is supposed to be operated contin-
uously such as the auto focus function. 
	 •	 When 	focus 	missing 	occurs 	due 	to 	secular 	change 	in 	the 	lens 	and 	installation 	environment 	or 	peripheral 	temperature	
change, the back focus adjustment is required again. 
Note:
	 •	 The	back	focus	adjustment	can	be	also	performed	through	the	operation	buttons.		(+ Installation Guide.)
Step 1
Move the cursor to "PUSH SW" of "ABF" and press the setting button. 
  →  The auto back focus function provides back focus adjustment to automatically focus on a subject located in the center of the 
screen. 
Step 2
To  fine  adjust  the  back  focus,  move  the  cursor  to  "MANUAL-ADJ",  press  the  setting  button,  and  use  the  right  or  left  button  to 
adjust the back focus manually. 
Note:
	 •	 Pressing	 the	right	 and	left	buttons	 simultaneously	 for	more	 than	2	seconds	 resets	the	back	 focus	 position	 to	the	 CS	mount	
default position.
	 •	 The	value	of	"INDICATOR"	is	a	guide	to	adjust	the	back	focus.	The	larger	the	value	is,	the	sharper	the	image	becomes.

Step 3
Move the cursor to "C/L ← → B/W" and select the back focus adjustment type from the following: 
AUTO  (default):  Adjusts  the  back  focus  function  automatically  and  corrects  out  of  focus  when  switching  between  color  and  black-and-white images. 
PRESET:  Performs  the  preset  movement  to  each  specified  back  focus  position  when  switching  between  color  and  black-and-
white  images.  The  preset  position  is  the  back  focus  position  specified  last  time,  which  was  automatically  memorized  for 
each of color images and black-and-white images. 
FIX: Fixes the position after adjusting the back focus either automatically \
(ABF) or manually. 
Step 4
Moving the cursor to "SETUP-SW LOCK" and selecting "ON" allow users to disable the back focus adjustment with the operation 
buttons (default: OFF). 
Important:
	 •	 The	following	are	recommendation	for	back	focus	setting	in	accordance	with	subjects.	
 
	 •	 We	 shall	not	responsible	 for	any	 inconvenience,	 loss,	or	damage	 caused	by	the	 settings	 or	results	 of	the	 back	 focus	 func-
tion.  For such case (subject conditions)

Special menu setting [SPECIAL SETUP]
The  special  menu  setup  is  performed  including  the  setting  of  the  camera  image  quality  and  the  communication  configuration 
when  a  receiver  is  used.  The  following  settings  are  to  be  configured  on  the  "SPECIAL  SETUP"  screen  displayed  from  the  top 
screen. Refer to page 5 for how to call up the screen. 
Chroma level adjustment [CHROMA GAIN]
Use	the	right	 or	left	 button	 to	adjust	 the	color	 density	 of	the	 camera	 image.	When	the	level	 indicator	 moves	in	the	 "+"	direction,	
the	 color	 becomes	 deeper,	and	when	 the	level	 indicator	 moves	in	the	 "–"	direction,	 the	color	 becomes	 lighter.	Be	sure	 to	view	 a	
vector chromaticity indicator or a monitor when the adjustment is performed. 
Aperture level adjustment [AP GAIN]
Use	 the	right	 or	left	 button	 to	adjust	 the	image	 quality.	 When	the	level	 indicator	 moves	in	the	 "+"	direction,	 the	image	 becomes	
sharper,	 and	when	 the	level	 indicator	 moves	in	the	 "–"	direction,	 the	image	 becomes	 softer.	Be	sure	 to	view	 a	monitor	 when	the	
adjustment is performed. 
Note:
	 •	 Moire	 (interference	 fringes)	may	be	observed	 when	shooting	a 	subject	 with	fine	pattern	 such	as	a	carpet	 or	a	curtain.	 In	
such a case, move the indicator in the "-" direction to reduce moire. 
Pedestal level adjustment [PEDESTAL]
Use	 the	right	 or	left	 button	 to	adjust	 the	pedestal	 level	of	the	 camera.	 When	the	level	 indicator	 moves	in	the	 "+"	direction,	 the	
image	 becomes	 brighter,	and	when	 the	level	 indicator	 moves	in	the	 "–"	direction,	 the	image	 becomes	 darker.	Be	sure	 to	view	 a	
waveform monitor or a monitor when the adjustment is performed. 
Chroma phase (hue) adjustment [HUE]
Use the right or left button to adjust the pedestal level of the camera. Be sure to view a vector chromaticity indicator or a monitor 
when the adjustment is performed. 
Note:
	 •	 Holding	 down	the	right	 and	left	buttons	 for	more	 than	2	seconds	 simultaneously	 restores	the	settings	 of	"CHROMA	 GAIN",	
"AP GAIN", "PEDESTAL", and "HUE" to the default settings.
