Thank you for purchasing this product. (These instrustions are for TK-C1480U, TK-C1480E and TK-C1481EG) Before beginning to operate this unit, please read the instruction manual carefully in order to make sure that the best possible performance is obtained. CONTENTS INTRODUCTION Features ............................................................................................................................... 6 Operating Precautions ......................................................................
INTRODUCTION Features A new DSP (Digital Signal Processor) features a Extended Dynamic Range (ExDR) and enables to shoot both bright and dark locations. The use of a new CCD with a SENSE UP (X32) function realized the minimum luminous flux density for subject of 0.8 lx (F1.2, 50%, AGC 20dB) and 0.025 lx (at slow shutter). A motion detector function detects the motion inside an image and emits alarm signals.
Operating Precautions ● To save energy, when it is not being used turn the system’s power off. ● This camera has been designed for indoor use. When you use it outdoor, be sure to use a housing and the like. ● Do not install or use the camera in the following places. • In a place exposed to rain or moisture. • In a place with vapor or oil soot, for example in a kitchen. • When the ambient temperature rises above or falls below the acceptable range (from –10°C to 50°C).

MENU SETTING SYNC ADJUST Screen This executes the setting regarding synchronization. Item Functions and set values Initial value V PHASE This adjusts the vertical synchronization to those of other cameras when a selector switch for the synchronizing system on the side is at LL. (50Hz (60Hz) power region only. ( ): TK-C1480U) When it is not set to LL, “---” will appear, disabling change the set value.
Item SHUTTER (ExDR) Functions and set values This sets the electronic shutter as well as the ExDR (Extended Dynamic Range). The use of an electronic shutter function enables shooting with proper brightness, as more brightness results in higher shutter speed. The ExDR function allows even the shooting of a subject having different luminous flux density by composing a picture shot at 1/100 (1/120) sec. shutter speed with a picture shot by a high-speed shutter.
MENU SETTING ALC SETTINGS Screen (Continued) Item Functions and set values Initial value FAST LIMIT This sets the fastest value of a shutter speed when AUTO is set. The MANUAL, M. ExDR, A. ExDR set value is displayed as “- - -” and cannot be changed. The higher the shutter speed becomes, the more smear phenomenon is emphasized, which is peculiar to the CCD.
Item Functions and set values Initial value PRIORITY This item sets the order in which the AGC and slow shutter speed decrease function when the object brightness becomes low. When the item AGC MODE or the item SENSE UP is set to OFF, “- - -” will appear, disabling any setting. MOTION: Priority is given to motion. This is suitable to a subject with quick motion, since the AGC (automatic gain control) functions with priority when the subject becomes dark. PICTURE: Priority is given to image.
MENU SETTING VIDEO ADJUST Screen Adjustments are made on video signals. Item Functions and set values Initial value ATW WHITE BALANCE Selects the white balance adjustment function. The white balance can be adjusted manually or automatically for light within the colour temperature range of 2500K to 8000K. • ATW: Auto-Tracking White Balance mode. This automatically adjusts the white balance. • AWC: Auto White Balance Controll mode. When the SET button is pressed, the adjustment screen appears.
