Panasonic Broadcast AW-E860N Menu Information
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 menu in User Mode.) 3. Set the pedestal level to 5 IRE (0.035 V) with the YES/ABC switch or the NO/BAR switch.
$ Gen-lock adjustment Phase 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. U Horizontal phase control Observe the waveform of the external synchronizing input signal (black burst signal) and video output signal on a two-channel oscilloscope.
Adjustment 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 is also moved. Adjust color phase whenever horizontal phase adjustment is moved.
Use mode setting 2. Press the MENU switch, ITEM/AWC switch, or NO/BAR switch to let the desired use mode blink. MENU switch (A): The blinking item moves up by one. ITEM/AWC switch (S), NO/BAR switch (–): The blinking item moves down by one. $ Use Mode Setting The camera has four use modes, and various functions for four use modes have been preset. Functions can be set as best suited to each use mode. • Halogen mode Suited to indoor shooting, such as at weddings, parties, lecture meetings, events, etc.
Use mode setting $ Setting by RCU (RCB) or hybrid control panel An operation mode is selected depending on the position of the scene file switch.
Menu item setting U Main menu screen $ Menu item setting Main menu of Halogen, Fluorescent, Outdoor Mode • Each of the four use modes of the camera has a main menu. (Shown at right) • Each item of the main menu has a submenu, which consists of several settings. Use mode Blinking • These settings have been preset to the optimum values to suit each use mode, and can be changed to suit actual shooting conditions. • They can be set from the camera and RCU (RCB).
