Adjustment$Automatic white balance control (AWC)There are two white balance memories, “AWC A” or “AWC
B” for two different light sources color temperatures, with the
automatic white balance setting. Then, when the two
different light sources are encountered, you may operate the
camera properly by simply change the white balance mode
to either AWC A or AWC B. There is no need to readjust the
camera to the ambient conditions.
❈The preset conditions will be renewed whenever you input
new conditions.

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 objects in the scene.
• White balance may not be correctly set if the lighting of the
object is too weak.
• Since the camera has a built-in memory, the set white
balance will remain in the memory even if power is turned
off. Therefore, it is not necessary to reset the white...

Adjustment$Total pedestal level adjustment(Use an oscilloscope or a waveform monitor for this
adjustment.)
This step is to adjust the black levels (pedestal levels) of two
or more cameras to be the same.
[ADJUSTMENT by CAMERA]
1. Close the lens.
2. Select Pedestal item in the brightness setting Sub Menu.
(Select [Pedestal] in the [Iris, Shutter, Gain Set] sub

$Gen-lock adjustmentPhase 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.

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 RCU’s

Caution:
• When horizontal phase adjustment is required using RCU
(RCB) or hybrid control panel, BAR/CAM switch should be
set to BAR. Horizontal phase cannot be adjusted if the
switch is in the CAM position. After adjustment set
BAR/CAM switch back to CAM.
• When horizontal phase adjustment is moved, color phase
