Panasonic WV-CP474H - Manual (Page 4)

2-2. ALC Mode with SUPER-D2 OFF and ELC Mode
Note: If ELC is selected, set MASK SET according to this procedure.
1. Move the cursor to SUPER-D2 and
select OFF. (When you select ELC,
SUPER-D2 is not available.) The MASK
SET appears on the menu.
2. Move the cursor to MASK SET and
press SET . The 48 mask areas appear
on the monitor screen. The cursor is
blinking in the upper left corner of the
screen.
3. Move the cursor to the area where
backlight is bright and press SET to
mask that area. The mask turns to
white. (When the cursor is moved on
an area that has already been masked,
the mask and cursor start blinking.)
4. Repeat step 3 to mask the desired
area. To cancel masking, move the
cursor to that area and press
SET .
5. After masking is completed, press SET
for 2 seconds or more. The ALC CONT
menu appears.
6. If you want to change the video output
level (picture contrast), move the “I”
cursor for LEVEL and adjust the level.
Note: If ON is selected for SUPER-D2, a shadow (black line) may appear at the boundary
between the bright and the dim scene. This is a natural phenomenon and does not indi-
cate trouble.
3. Shutter Speed Setting (SHUTTER)
Note: When ELC is selected for ALC/ELC on the CAM SET UP menu or ON is selected for
SUPER-D2 on the ALC CONT menu, this item is not available.
To select electronic shutter speed, select OFF for SUPER-D2 in the ALC CONT menu.
Move the cursor to SHUTTER and select the electronic shutter speed.
The preset values for SHUTTER (electronic shutter speed) change by pressing L or R as fol-
lows:
The factory default setting is ---.
4. Gain Control Setting (AGC ON (DNR-H, DNR-L)/OFF)
AGC (Automatic Gain Control) automatically controls the gain (an image brightness level).
Move the cursor to AGC and select automatic level adjustment ON (DNR-H), ON (DNR-L), or
OFF. The factory default setting is ON (DNR-H).
ON (DNR-H): This setting raises the gain and brightens the image under low light con-
ditions.
ON (DNR-L): This setting reduces an afterimage sometimes caused by a moving object
when ON (DNR-H) is activated.
OFF: This setting does not control the gain.
Notes:
• When ON (DNR-L) is selected, noise can slightly increase than ON (DNR-H).
• DNR-H and DNR-L do not appear on the system status display of the connected equip-
ment.
5. Electronic Sensitivity Enhancement (SENS UP)
There are two modes for SENS UP.
AUTO: If you select X10 AUTO, for example, the sensitivity is automatically raised to
X10 max. When AUTO is selected, AGC is automatically set to ON.
FIX: If you select X32 FIX, for example, the sensitivity is raised to just X32.
The factory default setting is OFF.
Move the cursor to SENS UP and select the parameter for electronic sensitivity enhance-
ment.
The preset values for SENS UP (electronic sensitivity enhancement) change by pressing L
or R as shown right:
Notes:
• When ON is selected for SUPER-D2 in the ALC CONT menu, FIX is not available for this
item.
• When you select AUTO for SENS UP and ON for SUPER-D2, the SENS UP function has
priority so that the SUPER-D2 function is not activated automatically.
• While the SENS UP function is selected, noise, spots or a whitish phenomenon may
appear in the picture when the sensitivity of the camera is increased. This is a normal
phenomenon.
SETTING PROCEDURES
6. Synchronization Setting (SYNC)
You can select internal sync (INT) mode, line-lock (LL) mode or the VD2 signal (multiplexed
vertical drive signal) mode.
1. Move the cursor to SYNC and select LL or INT.
The factory default setting is INT.
2. Press SET .
If LL is selected, the SYNC menu appears. (If VD2 or INT is not selected, the synchro-
nization mode automatically set and the menu does not appear.)
Important Notices:
1. The priority for the sync modes is as follows:
(1) Multiplexed Vertical Drive (VD2) (Highest priority)
(2) Line-lock (LL)
(3) Internal Sync (INT) (Lowest priority)
2. The line-lock mode has a submenu for line-lock vertical phase adjustment. If the cam-
era installation is relocated, check the vertical phase adjustment again since the AC
line phase may be different.
Whenever the multiplexed vertical drive pulse (VD2) is supplied to the camera from
external equipment such as a matrix switcher, the camera sync mode is automatically
switched to the VD2 mode.
6-1. Line-lock Sync Mode (LL)
1. Move the cursor to SYNC and select
LL.
Note: The settings in this menu can be
made only when the multiplexed
vertical drive signal (VD2) is not
supplied to the camera.
2. After confirming that the cursor is on
LL, press SET . The vertical phase
adjustment menu appears on the moni-
tor screen.
3. Supply the video output signal of the camera to be adjusted and the reference camera
video output signal to a dual-trace oscilloscope.
4. Set the oscilloscope to the vertical rate and expand the vertical sync portion on the
oscilloscope.
5. Move the cursor to COARSE. The cursor is highlighted.
6. Press
L or R to match the vertical
phase for both video output signals as
closely as possible. (COARSE adjust-
ment can be incremented in 16 steps
by 22.5 degrees by pressing
L or R .)
Note: After the sixteenth step, the
adjustment returns to the first step.
7. Move the cursor to FINE.
8. Press
L or R to match the vertical phase for both video output signals as closely as pos-
sible.
(FINE adjustment can be made by up to 22.5 degrees by pressing
L or R .)
Notes:
• When the “I” cursor reaches the “+” end, it jumps back to “–”. At the same time,
COARSE is incremented by one step to enable a continuous adjustment. The
reverse takes place when the “I” cursor reaches the “–” end.
• When L or R is kept pressed for a second or more, the “I” cursor moves faster.
• To reset COARSE and FINE to the values preset at the factory, press L and R
simultaneously. COARSE and FINE adjustments are preset at the factory to zero-
crossing of the AC line phase.
• If the AC line contains noise (spike noise, etc.), the stability of the vertical phase of
the camera video output signal may be disturbed.
7. White Balance Setting (WHITE BAL)
7-1. Auto-Tracing White Balance Mode
(ATW)
You can select one of three modes for
white balance adjustment as follows:
The factory default setting is ATW1.
• ATW1 (Auto-Tracing White Balance
1)
Move the cursor to WHITE BAL and
select ATW1.
In this mode, the color temperature is
monitored continuously and thereby
white balance is automatically set. The color temperature range for the proper 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 - 6 000K range.
2. When the scene contains mostly high color temperature objects, such as a blue
sky or sunset.
3. When the scene is dim.
In these cases, select the AWC mode.
• ATW2 (Auto-Tracing White Balance
2)
Auto-tracing white balance in sodium
lamp mode (ATW2)
When you select ATW2 for sodium
lamp, white balance is automatically
set (no operation needed).
Note: ATW1 and ATW2 do not appear
for WHITE BAL on the system con-
troller setup menu.
• Automatic White Balance Control Mode (AWC)
In this mode, accurate white balance is obtained within a color temperature range of
approximately 2 300-10 000K.
1. Move the cursor to WHITE BAL and select AWC → PUSH SW.
2. Press SET to start the white balance setup. The PUSH SW is highlighted to indicate that
the white balance is being set.
3. When the white balance setting is completed, the PUSH SW returns to normal display.
Note: If white balance is not set, the PUSH SW is being highlighted.
