Panasonic Color Video Camera Aw E560 Operating Instructions

							-29- nGEN-LOCK ADJUSTMENT
Phase adjustments must be performed with the camera or
the RCU (RCB) when external synchronizing signals are
supplied to the system in cases where multiple cameras
are used or peripheral devices are connected.
nHORIZONTAL PHASE CONTROL
Observe the waveform of the external synchronizing input
signal (black burst signal) and video output signal on a
two-channel oscilloscope.  Then match the horizontal
phase of both signals by adjusting them with the cameras
or RCUs horizontal phase control.[ADJUSTMENT by CAMERA]
1. Press the BAR (DOWN) switch for over 1 second to
display the color bar.
2. Select page No.4 of INITIAL SET menu.
3. Select “H PHASE” with the item switch.
4. Adjust the horizontal phase with the Up switch and
Down switch.

Supply the output signal (split color bar) from the color
special effect generator to a color monitor or vectorscope.
Adjust the color phase of the camera with either the cam-
era controls or the RCU (RCB) control.
[ADJUSTMENT WITH RCU (RCB)]
Use the subcarrier phase coarse adjustment control and
subcarrier phase fine control located in the pocket.
* It is recommended that a vectorscope be used for
maximum accuracy in color phase adjustment.
[ADJUSTMENT by CAMERA]
1. Press the BAR (DOWN) switch for over 1 second for
the color bar mode.

							-34- 1Gain Up Control Setting [GAIN: AGC LOW, AGC
HIGH, 0DB, 9DB, 18DB]
When the mode is set to AGC LOW or AGC HIGH, the
AGC with a maximum gain increase of about 9 dB/18
dB operates to control gain up and automatically reg-
ulate the amount of light.
Normally, the mode should be set to 0DB. If a suffi-
cient video output is not obtained in shooting a dark
object even when the iris is fully opened, set the mode
to the 9DB or 18DB position.
• AGC convergence level, photometric method, and
detecting ratio can be set by INITIAL SET menu.
Note:
In using the AGC, it may not function when the iris
switch is in the manual position on the lens with
auto iris ON in the SETUP menu.
2Iris Control Setting [IRIS: MANU, AUTO]
When the mode is set to AUTO, lens iris is controlled
automatically with lens iris is A (auto) position.
• Auto iris convergence level, photometric method, and
detecting ratio can be set by INITIAL SET menu.
Note:
When the iris control is set to AUTO in this menu,
set the iris switch on the lens to the A (auto) posi-
tion. If the iris is set to MANU in this menu, set the
iris switch on the lens to the M (manual) position.3Electronic Shutter Speed Setting [SHUTTER: ELC,
OFF, 1/100, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000,
1/10000, SYNCHRO]
When the mode is set to ELC, the electronic shutter
speed is automatically controlled to regulate the
amount of light.
When the mode is set to OFF, the electronic shutter is
turned off.  The mode is set to between 1/100 and
1/10000 represent respective shutter speeds.
Set the mode to SYNCHRO (synchro scan) for fine
adjustment of shutter speed.
* Refer to the table below for the relative light quantity
required for each setting of shutter speed and synchro
scan.
Shutter Speed Synchro Scan Required Light Ratio
OFF -- 11/100 159/525 21/250 63/525 41/500 31/525 81/1000 15/525 161/2000 7/525 321/4000 3/525 64
1/10000 1/525 160
* ELC convergence level, photometric method, and
detecting ratio can be set by INITIAL SET menu.
When the mode is set to SYNCHRO, shutter speed
can be set by INITIAL SET menu.
Note:If the camera is used with an RCU (RCB), shut-
ter speeds of 1/250, 1/2000, 1/4000, 1/10000 can-
not be selected. 
						

							-35- When the mode is set to ELC, the electronic shutter
may not function if the iris is set to AUTO in the SETUP
menu and the lens iris switch to M (manual). Make
sure that the camera and lens settings are the same. If
ELC is selected, flicker may increase under fluores-
cent lights.
4White Balance Setting [WHITE BAL: ATW, A CH, B
CH, MANU, P SET 3.2K, P SET 5.6K]
When the mode is set to ATW, white balance is auto-
matically adjusted at all times.
When the mode is set to A CH or B CH, with SETUP
menu OFF, white balance is automatically adjusted
with the AWC switch on the back of the camera. Color
temperature conditions of two scenes can be stored in
the A CH/B CH memories. When the painting mode is
ON, fine color adjustment can be made by red/blue
gain setting of INITIAL SET menu after AWC.
When the mode is set to MANU, white balance can be
adjusted by red/blue gain setting of INITIAL SET
menu.
When the mode is set to P SET 3.2K, white balance is
adjusted to 3200K illumination.
When the mode is set to P SET 5.6K, white balance is
adjusted to 5600K illumination.
Note:
When the camera is used with an RCU (RCB), the
switch cannot be set to MANU, P SET 3.2K, or P
SET 5.6K.5Detail Level Setting [DTL LEVEL: OFF, LOW, HIGH]
