-27-(6) Synchronization (SYNC)This camera supports the following three sync modes,which are listed in priority sequence from highestpriority to lowest.(1) Multiplexed vertical drive (VD2)(2) Internal sync (INT)(3) Line-lock (LL)Input of a multiplexed vertical driver (VD2) signalautomatically switches to VD2 sync, regardless of thecamera's current sync mode (SYNC). In this case, thecamera setting menu shows EXT (VD2) for the SYNCsetting, which cannot be changed to internal sync(INT) or line-lock (LL).The following procedures explain how to select internalsync (INT) and line-lock (LL), and how to performphase adjustment when line-lock (LL) is selected.1. Move the cursor to SYNC, and then tilt the joystickleft or right to select the sync mode.INT : Internal sync. This is the factory default setting.LL : Line-lock (Cannot be used in areas with 50 Hzpower.)Selecting LL and pressing the CAM (SET) buttonwill display the SYNC setting menu, which can beused for configuring detailed settings. (This page)● Adjusting the Phase for Line-lockSynchronizationConnect the video output signal of the camera beingadjusted and the reference video output signal to atwo-input oscilloscope.Set the oscilloscope to the vertical rate, and thenexpand the vertical sync portion on the oscilloscope.1. Move the cursor to COARSE, and then tilt thejoystick left or right to align the coarse adjustmentof the vertical phases of the camera being adjustedwith that of the reference camera.Coarse adjustment be performed across 16 steps(1 through 16). Adjusting past step 16 returns tostep 1.2. Move the cursor to FINE, and then tilt the joystickleft or right to align the fine adjustment of thevertical phases of the camera being adjusted withthat of the reference camera.Notes:• To reset COARSE and FINE to the preset values,press the F3 button. For WV-RM70, press theright and left switches simultaneously. COARSEis preset to zero-crossing of the AC line phase.• If the AC line phase contains spike noise, etc.,the vertical phase of the video output signal maybe disturbed.(7) White Balance (WHITE BAL)1. Move the cursor to WHITE BAL, and then tilt thejoystick left or right to select a white balance mode.(1) Auto-Tracing White Balance Mode (ATW1/ATW2)In this mode, the camera continually monitorsthe color temperature of the light source andautomatically adjusts white balance.The following are the approximate supportedcolor temperature ranges in this mode.ATW1: 2,700 K to 6,000 K. This is the factorydefault setting.ATW2: 2,000 K to 6,000 K (Mode recommendedfor sodium lighting)Proper white balance may not be possible underthe following conditions. In such cases, use theAWC while balance mode.• When the subject contains mostly dark colors• When the light source is a deep blue sky ortwilight• When illumination of the subject is low(2) Auto-Tracing White Balance Control (AWC)In this mode, the supported color temperaturerange is approximately 2,000 K to 10,000 K. Thismode is best in locations where the light sourceis constant.(a) To select AWC, tilt the joystick left and selectAWC→PUSH SET.(b) Press the CAM (SET) button to start whitebalance adjustment. PUSH SET is highlightedon the display while white balance adjustment isbeing performed.• PUSH SET becomes unhighlighted again whenwhite balance adjustment is complete. Tilt thejoystick right to display AWC.• If white balance adjustment cannot be completedfor some reason, PUSH SET will remainhighlighted on the display. If this happens, it couldmean that the color temperature is outside thesupported range, or that illumination is too low.2. Select ATW1, ATW2, and AWC, then press the CAM(SET) button, either the ATW setting menu or theAWC setting menu appears, and you can fine tunethe white balance.Move the cursor to R or B, and then tilt the joystick leftor right to fine tune the level. The R is red and the B isblue, moving in the + direction makes the colorsdarker, moving in the - direction makes them lighter.** SYNC **V PHASECOARSEFINERET TOP1(1--16)••I•••• 96- +
