Installation/Connection Caution: ONLY CONNECT THIS TO 12 V DC CLASS 2 POWER SUPPLY. Be sure to connect the grounding lead to the GND terminal. The following shows how to mount the camera on the tripod (locally procured). The tripod socket can be mounted on either top or bottom of the camera head. Tripod socket Important: • The tripod and CCU shall be horizontally placed.
■ How to mount lens Important: • Be sure to turn off the power of the CCU before mounting a lens. • A lens whose projection length of the lens mount section is 4 mm or less shall be used. • The recommended lens aperture ranges from F2.2 to F16. Selection of less than F2.2 of the lens aperture may result in image blurring. • When a zoom lens is used, focus adjustment method varies with the lens. For further information, refer to the operating instructions for the lens.
Setting Procedures Performing each setting item on the SETUP menu should be completed in advance to use this unit. Perform the settings for each item in accordance with the conditions of the camera shooting location. Note: • In addition to the SETUP menu, this system has a simplified menu (SEL menu) that is displayed using the [SEL] button on the front of the CCU. Refer to page 25 for further information about the SEL menu. ■ SETUP menu The following items can be set with use of the SETUP menu.
v To return to the camera image screen after storing the ■ Basic operations The description below explains how to operate the SETUP menu basically. First of all, the explanation provides how to display the SETUP menu on the connected monitor used for adjustment.

The camera title is named with up to 16 characters. Follow the procedure below to specify the camera title. • To revise the character, move the cursor to "←" or "→" and press the [SEL] button.
2. ELC setting [ELC] Setting ELC (electronic light control) to ON provides automatic adjustment of the screen brightness. The convergence level of ELC can be specified at “BRIGHTNESS” in the SEL menu (☞ page 25). If a photographic subject has a bright light such as a spotlight in its backgroud, the subject may appear shadowy. To eliminate this phenomenon, mask the bright area in the background to perform correction. MANU: The detection area can be manually specified.
3. Electronic shutter setting [SHUTTER] The electronic shutter speed is specified. The speed is selectable from the following. OFF (default),1/100 (1/120*), 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000, 1/10000, and MANU Select "MANU", and press [SEL] button. The "SHUTTER" screen appears to adjust the shutter speed in detail. Adjustable speed range: 3/562 (2/562*) – 552/562 * The value is for GP-US932CUE/GP-US932CUSE.
7. Scene file setting [SCENE FILE] Registration of details, gamma, hue, etc. as a scene file in accordance with an installation location allows users to employ the registered contents only by pressing the [SCENE] button on the front face of the CCU. Up to 3 scene files can be registered. Scene file registration is performed on the "SCENE FILE" screen.
Important: • In the case of the following, "---" appears and gamma adjustment is not available. • When "BLACK STRETCH" is set to "ON" • When "D-RANGE" is set to "EXPAND" [KNEE] Adjusts the knee point. Be sure to view a waveform monitor or a color video monitor when the knee point adjustment is performed. The knee point adjustment is selectable from the following. MANU (default): The knee point is manually adjusted. AUTO: The knee point is automatically adjusted. [WHITE CLIP] Adjusts the white clip level.
USER (default),B-Mg, Mg, Mg-R, R, R-Ye, Ye, Ye-G, G, G-Cy, Cy, Cy-B, and B c Press the [SEL] button after axis selection. → The "MATRIX" screen appears. v To perform fine tuning, use the [e] or [f] button to adjust "GAIN" (chroma) and "PHASE" (hue). When the color axis is unclear When "USER AREA" is selected on the "MATRIX" screen, the axis is automatically displayed by selecting a color on the screen. Color selection is performed on the color detection screen.
8. White balance setting [WHITE BAL] 9. Black balance setting [BLACK BAL] The white balance adjustment is selectable from the following. AWC (default): The automatic white balance control mode is activated. This adjustment is suitable for a location where a light source is stable. When "AWC" is selected, the operation to adjust the white balance is required. ATW: Activates the automatic white balance tracking mode. The camera continuously measures the white balance and automatically performs adjustment.

Troubleshooting Before asking for repairs, check the symptoms with the following table. Contact your dealer if a problem cannot be solved even after checking and trying the solution in the table or a problem is not described below. Symptom Cause/solution • Are the cables appropriately connected to the video output connector, S-VIDEO output connector, RGB/YPbPr output connector, HDMI output connector, or SDI output connector, respectively? Check whether each cable is appropriately connected.
Symptom Blurred screen Cause/solution • Is the lens aperture appropriately adjusted? Check whether the aperture is appropriately adjusted. Use lenses with recommended F number or higher and 3CCD-specific lenses. • Try to change the setting of "DTL MODE". Reference pages 14 20 Plural edges visible • Try to change the monitor cable. — • When the screen is too bright, narrow the lens aperture or set "ELC" to "ON".
