nCONNECTION WITH MULTIPLE CAMERASnAn example of connection for VBS/BB input (Color lock
mode).
• A special effect generator is used as the source of refer-
ence signals.
• Supply a synchronizing signal (VBS/BB) to the GEN-LOCK
Connectors of both the RCU and the camera.• Adjust the SC phase and H phase at the Program Out
Connector.
There are two other modes such as VS input (No color lock
mode) and HD/VD input (monochrome mode), which
can be selected for your application.

• Connect the camera AW-E560 to the receiver WV-RC100 with the CA28T103 cable according to the cable connecting instruc-
tions.
• Connect the camera AW-E560 to the remote control box WV-CB550 with two coaxial cables (video signal and G/L signal).
(PSF 1/2M, maximum total length 300 m)
• Use Model AW-E560 for camera. In case of using a pan/tilt head, the receiver WV-RC100 and the pan/tilt head control cable

ADJUSTMENTColor temperature and adjustment of white balance
When carbon is burnt, it develops various colors of light
depending on the temperature.   Natural light can be spec-
ified by color temperature referring to the color developed
when carbon is burnt.
The light of 3,200K (K=Kelvin, -273C equals to absolute
zero temperature 0K) represents the same value (color) as
what develops when carbon is burnt at 3,200K (2,927C).
The relationship between the color temperature of the light
source and weather condition is indicated in the right fig-
ure.  Let’s study the difference of shooting an indoor object
from shooting one outdoors.  Studio are usually lighted
with incandescent lamps and the color temperature of a
white object in a studio is around 3,000K.  The color tem-
perature of a white object outdoors is around 6,500K.  The
former may look a little yellowish while the latter appears
somewhat bluish when they are shot by a camera.
However, human eyes do not recognize the color differ-
ence between these objects even under different ambient
lighting conditions because of their adaptability to light.
The video camera reproduces color differences with high
fidelity and the color of an object somewhat different from
what appears to the human eyes.
Therefore, there is a need to adjust the white balance in
order to correct their differences of color temperature.
NOTE:Color temperature outdoors may vary depending
on weather conditions.

							-26- nAUTOMATIC WHITE BALANCE CONTROL (AWC)
There are two white balance memories, “AWC A” or “AWC
B” for two different light sources color temperatures, with
the white balance setting.  Then, when the two different
light sources are encountered, you may properly operate
the camera by simply change the white balance mode to
either AWC A (A CH) or AWC B (B CH).  There is no need
to readjust the camera to the ambient conditions.
* The preset conditions will be renewed whenever you
input new conditions.
1. Turn the white balance selection switch to either “AWC
A” or “AWC B” of RCU or select the white balance
mode either A CH or B CH by SETUP menu.
2. Aim the camera at a white object (a white wall or a
white handkerchief) and zoom in to enlarge the image
as much as possible.
[ADJUSTMENT by CAMERA]
3. In normal shooting mode:
Press the AWC (Item) switch for over 1 second.
In SETUP menu mode:
Select WHITE BAL and press the page switch for over
1 second.
In either case white balance is automatically set in 2
seconds.[ADJUSTMENT WITH THE RCU (RCB)]
4. When the auto white/auto black set switch is turned to
AWC, the white balance will be automatically set
regardless of camera operation mode. While the sys-
tem is being set, auto warning indicator (LED) blinks
and it goes out when the white balance setting is com-
pleted.  If the lamp remains lit, setting must be tried
again.
5. If the painting mode is ON in the page No.1 of the INI-
TIAL SET menu white balance fine adjustment can be
performed with the red gain/blue gain adjustment con-
trol.

							-27- NOTES:
• For white balance setting aim the camera at a
white object and try to position it in the center of
the monitor screen.  The object must appear in
over 10% of the total monitor screen area.  Try to
avoid overly bright object in the scene.
• White balance may not be correctly set if the light-
ing of the object is not strong enough.
• Since the camera has a built-in battery, the set
white balance will be kept in the memory even if
power is turned off.  Therefore, it is not necessary
to reset the white balance if the color temperature
of those objects remains unchanged.  However, it
must be reset if the color temperature changes
such as when you move from indoors to outside
or vice versa.
• When the camera is used without an RCU or RCB
red/blue adjustment of painting setting will be
automatically reset to its center after setting the
white balance.nAUTOMATIC TRACKING WHITE BALANCE SETTING
(ATW)
White balance will be automatically set to continuously
match changes of light source and color temperature while
the white balance setting is set to ATW in the SETUP
menu.
Note:White balance may not be accurately set if there is
no white object in the scene being shot.
nMANUAL WHITE BALANCE SETTING
1. Set the white balance setting to MANU in the SETUP
menu.
2. Aim the camera at a large white object.
3. Adjust the red gain/blue gain control in the page No.1
of INITIAL SET menu until the carrier wave of the white
portion of the video signal is at the minimum width or
the white object in the monitor screen appears pure
white.  (Use an oscilloscope or a waveform monitor for
precise adjustment.)
Note:It cannot be manually adjusted if the camera is
controlled by RCU or RCB.
Minimize the carrier wave using
the red & blue gain controls

When the white balance setting is set to either “P SET
3.2K” or “P SET 5.6K” the white balance will be automati-
cally set to the color temperature 3,200K or 5,600K
respectively.
nBLACK BALANCE ADJUSTMENT
[ADJUSTMENT by CAMERA]
Press the ABC (UP) Switch for over 1 second and the
black balances for 0dB, 9dB and 18dB will be automatical-
ly set in 5 seconds.
If the painting switch is ON in the page No.1 of INITIAL
SET menu, black balance fine adjustment can be per-
formed with the red gain/blue gain control.
[ADJUSTMENT WITH RCU OR RCB]
Set the auto white/auto black set switch to ABC and the
black balance will be automatically set regardless of cam-
era mode. While the system is being set, the auto warning
indicator (LED) blinks and it goes out when the black bal-
ance setting is completed.  If the lamp remains lit, ABC
should be tried again.
nTOTAL PEDESTAL LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
(Use an oscilloscope or a waveform monitor for this adjust-
ment.)
[ADJUSTMENT by CAMERA]
1. Select the page No.1 of the INITIAL SET menu on the
monitor screen.
2. Select “T PED” with the item switch.3. Set the pedestal level to 7.5IRE (0.050V) with the Up
switch and the Down switch.
[ADJUSTMENT WITH RCU (RCB)]
Adjust the total pedestal level to 7.5IRE with the total
pedestal adjustment.
