PREFACE
The Panasonic Camera Control Unit GP-KS162CU is
designed to use with the optional Camera Head GP-
KS162H.
This system overcomes space limitations that have compli-
cated many video applications. Weight of only 0.04 lbs (16
g), this remarkably compact CCTV camera measures only
two-thirds of an inch in diameter and less than two inches
in length. GP-KS162CU Remote Control Unit (CCU) and
optional camera head GP-KS162H can be extended up to
33 feet(10-meter) away, using an optional 33-feet (10-
meter) cable. So the exceptionally manueurable GP-KS162
series lets you obtain a whole new world of camera angles
and shots that were once quite difficult to achieve. With the
380,000-element, 1/2-inch CCD pick-up device, horizontal
resolution is more than 480 lines, and signal-to-noise ratio
is 50 dB. An Auto Light Selection Switch and lets you obtain
clear, high-quality color images in light as low as 0.3 foot-
candle (3 lux at F1.4).
In addition, a small diameter wide-angle lens developed by
Matsushita makes high resolution standard even with sub-
jects as close as 4/5th of an inch away.
Color changes are sensed instantly and compensated for
by a microcomputer in the GP-KS162CU. Proper white bal-
ance is then obtained via the built-in-Auto Tracing White
Balance (ATW) circuit. Both White Balance and R and B
color can also be adjusted manually, for optimum color
reproduction.
The camera head can be used with most existing camera
systems. And VTR, video printer or floppy disk recorder, for
a host of new and traditional applications.
