							-32- 6. Set the oscilloscope to the horizontal rate and
expand the horizontal sync portion on the oscillo-
scope.
7. Move the cursor to H PHASE.
8. Adjust the horizontal phase by pressing Lor M.
The adjustable range is 0 - 2.0 µs.
9. Move the cursor to SC COARSE.
10. Press Lor Mto match the chroma phase of the
camera’s video signal, when observed at the output
of the Special Effect Generator (SEG) or Switcher,
as closely as possible to the color of the original
scene. (SC COARSE adjustment can be increment-
ed in steps of 90 degrees (4 steps) by pressing L
or M.)
Note:After the fourth step, the adjustment returns
to the first step.
1 (1 - - 4): 0 degrees
2 (1 - - 4): 90 degrees
3 (1 - - 4): 180 degrees
4 (1 - - 4): 270 degrees
11. Move the cursor to SC FINE.
12. Press Lor Mto match the color (hue) of the
camera’s video signal, when observed at the output
of the Special Effect Generator (SEG) or Switcher,
as closely as possible to the color of the original
scene.
The SC FINE adjustment has a range of 90 degrees
of color shift.
Notes:
•When the “I” cursor reaches the “+” end, it
jumps back to “–”. At the same time, SC
COARSE is incremented by one step to enable
a continuous adjustment. The reverse takes
place when the “I” cursor reaches the “–” end.
•When Lor Mis kept pressed for a second
or more, the “I” cursor moves faster.
•For more accurate adjustment, supply both the
original camera video output signal and the
effect output video signal (program output
video signal) of the special effects generator
(SEG) to a vectorscope and compare the chro-
ma phase of both signals.
•To reset SC COARSE and SC FINE to the val-
ues preset at the factory, press Land M
simultaneously.

7. White Balance Setting (WHITE BAL)
7-1. Auto-Tracing White Balance Mode (ATW)
You can select one of four modes for white balance
adjustment as follows:
•ATW1 (Auto Tracing White Balance 1)
In this mode, the color temperature is monitored
continuously and thereby white balance is set auto-
matically. The color temperature range for the prop-
er white balance is approximately 2 600 - 6 000K.
Proper white balance may not be obtained under the
following conditions:
1. The color temperature is out of the 2 600 - 
6000K range.
2. When the scene contains mostly high color
temperature objects, such as a blue sky or sun-
set.
3. When the scene is dim. 
In these cases, select the AWC mode.Move the cursor to the WHITE BAL parameter and
select ATW1. The white balance of the camera is
automatically set.
•ATW2 (Auto Tracing White Balance 2)

8. Motion Detector Setting (MOTION DET)
The motion detector detects the moving objects in the
scene by monitoring changes in brightness level. You
can select the level of sensitivity for motion detection.
When this camera is connected to a compatible intelli-
gent CCTV system, the camera transmits an alarm sig-
nal by multiplexing it with the video signal.
1. Move the cursor to the MOTION DET parameter
and select ON.
2. Press I. The MOTION DETECT menu appears
on the monitor screen.3. Move the cursor to MASK SET and press I.
MASK SET lets you set 48 mask areas. To set
MASK SET, proceed as described in steps 2 to 4 of
“ALC mode with PRESET OFF” (See page 26 and

1. Move the cursor to the BW parameter.
2. Select AUTO1, AUTO2, EXT, ON or OFF using L
or M.
Default: OFF
AUTO1:The camera selects black and white mode
if the picture is dark, or color mode if the pic-
ture is bright enough.
Note:Color picture switches to black-and-
white picture and vice versa in approxi-
mately 1 or 2 minutes after recognition of
illuminance.
AUTO2:Applying AUTO1 may cause malfunction
when using a source of near-infrared light at
night because the illuminance changes signifi-
cantly when switching between the color pic-
ture and the black-and-white picture.  But
AUTO2 allows the unit to prevent malfunction
because it simply recognizes a source of light.
Note:Because a source of light is simply rec-
ognized based on the information from
CCD image pickup element, an object
sometimes can not be recognized suc-
cessfully when the object is always mov-
ing or the object and its background have
the same color.
When you apply this mode, AUTO2, the
wavelength of the light source should be
800 nm or more.
