SECTION 1:INTRODUCTION

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The KC552xCx/KC752xCx DSP color securitycameras provide true-color images especiallydesigned for closed-circuit television (CCTV) andsecurity surveillance applications.

FEATURES

The cameras include the following features:

• High sensitivity. 1/3" DSP color CCD technologythat provides high sensitivity down to 1.25 lux(F1.2) for the KC552xCx and 1.6 lux (F1.2) for theKC752xCx.

• High quality image. High resolution, highsensitivity design with a standard horizontalresolution of 330 TV lines or a high horizontalresolution of 470 TV lines.

• Backlight compensation. When strong lightenters the scene background, such as from aspotlight or window, the backlight compensationfunction automatically adjusts the video level topreserve visibility in important sections of theimage.

• Iris function. Iris function provides a drive outputfor video-type and DC-type lenses. A built-inelectronic shutter also allows shutter speeds inthe range of 1/60 to 1/100,000 for and 1/50 to1/100,000. CCD iris function automatically setsthe brightness of the picture by changing theshutter speed of the camera according to theincident light when using a manual iris lens.

• White balance. Both automatic and manualwhite balance modes are provided as well as fouravailable white balance settings.

SECTION 2CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS

CAMERA – TOP

1. Auto-iris Lens Connector – This 4-pin femaleconnector allows the user to connect an auto-irislens. The connector supplies the power and avideo signal or DC control signal to the auto-irislens. (A 4-pin male connector is supplied.)

2. Camera Mounting Bracket – This threaded 1/4”-20 hole is used to mount the camera onto amounting bracket or tripod.

3. Function Switches – A switch is in the ONposition if it is positioned toward the font of thecamera. If the position is set toward the back ofthe camera, the switch is OFF. The switchesinclude the following:• SHTR Switch (AES/MES) – This switch

allows the user to choose between autoexposure (AES) and manual exposure(MES). Position the switch toward the front ofthe camera for auto exposure, whereby theexposure is performed by the electronic irisand AGC control. Position the switch towardthe back of the camera for manual exposure,whereby the shutter speed can be set by theshutter adjust.

CAMERA – TOP, continued

• Flickerless Switch (Off/On) – (SW1 = AutoExposure). This function is used to removeflickering when the camera signal formatdoes not coincide with the power sourcefrequency being used.

• BLC Switch (On/Off) – (SW1 = AutoExposure). This On/Off switch controlsbacklight compensation. When set to ON,the camera will automatically try to maintainproper exposure in the specific area even ifthe lighting level changes.

• E/I (On/Off) – (SW1 = Auto Exposure).When set to the ON position, the electroniciris switch automatically varies the camera’sshutter to mimic auto-iris control, allowingfixed or manual iris lenses to be used in awider range. When this switch is set to ON,turn the F/F switch OFF.


5 KCMU00000506/08/01


• A/I Switch (DC/Video) – The auto-iris switchallows the user to select the supplied auto-iriscontrol signal for the lens. Position the switchtoward the front of the camera to choose DCwhen the auto-iris control lens requires DCcontrol signal. Position the switch toward theback of the camera to choose Video when theauto-iris control lens requires video signal.

• Gamma Switch (On/Off) – The gammacorrection switch allows .45 correction fornon-linearity gain response in the monitorwhen set to ON. When set to OFF, there isno gamma correction.

• AGC Switch (On/Off) – The auto gain controlswitch allows the video signals to maintain aconstant level. This switch is useful whenusing the camera at low-light levels and whenlighting levels change over time. For best lowlight conditions, this switch should be set toON.

• AWB1 and AWB2 Switches (On/Off) –These cameras have four white balancesettings:

1) ATW (auto tracing white balance) –The camera automatically aims tomaintain white objects as white even ifthe light color changes.

2) AWB (auto white balance) – QuickATW.

3) Indoor – Improves the color balance inareas where a mixture of light sourcesexists.

7. Iris Adjustment Pot (Potentiometer) – Thiscontrol allows the user to adjust the level of theauto-iris when the A/I lens selection switch is setto DC and a DC lens is mounted on the camera.The switch should be in the Video position whenan auto-iris video lens is mounted on the camera.If a video auto-iris lens is used, this control has nofunction.

8. Phase Adjustment – Phase adjustment is usedin multi-camera systems when power is suppliedfrom different sources, thus causing the camerato be out of phase. This situation affects auto-switching of the cameras by causing a vertical flipor roll of the video during the switch interval. Thevertical phase adjustment allows the camera’sline lock sync to be adjusted from 0 to 360degrees with reference to zero line crossing of theAC power source. To effectively use the phaseadjustment, ensure that all cameras are poweredfrom the same electrical source and that they arewired in a similar fashion. Then, adjust the phasecontrol on the back of the camera until there is novertical flip or roll on the monitor when using theauto-switcher.
