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	 50	Hz	 areas.	 The	power	 supply	 synchronization	 (LL)	can-
not be setup in the 60 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 oscil-
loscope 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  continuously 
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:
	 •	 Holding	 down	the	right	 and	left	buttons	 for	more	 than	2	seconds	 simultaneously	 resets	the	back	 focus	 position	 to	the	 CS	mount	
default position.s
	 •	 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:

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	 sharp-
er,	 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. 
Note:
	 •	 Holding	 down	the	right	 and	left	buttons	 for	more	 than	2	seconds	 simultaneously	 restores	the	settings	 of	"CHROMA	 GAIN",	"AP	
GAIN", and "PEDESTAL" to the default settings.
