Monitor screen LEVEL control direction To increase the brightness clockwise To decrease the brightness counterclockwise 7 AWB HOLD push button ● Use the AWB HOLD Push Button: 1. When a subject is lighted by many types of light. 2. When you use a special lamp, such as a sodium lamp or mercury vapor lamp. ● How to use: 1. Select AWB on mode select switch 8. Set Pole 5 to OFF for AWB, 2. Display a full screen of white paper or white subject on the monitor. 3. Adjust the screen color to be white pushing AWB HOLD push button. 8 MODE SELECT SWITCH 1. INT/LL switch This camera can operate independently, using its internal crystal-controlled sync generator, or it may be synchronized using line-locking. To select one or the other of these sync modes, set the DIP switch on the rear panel to either INT or LL. Pole 1 is set to ON for LL and OFF for INT. If line-locking is selected, all the cameras in the system must be adjusted to begin the video field scan at the same time. This is described in procedure 9,∝. 2. Pole 2 is NOT USED. 6 XX135-10-01 Rev 409 VC566DN Cameras

If the subject you wish to view is too dim because of a bright background, set the BLC switch (Pole 3) to ON to compensate for the bright background. With BLC on, the background brightness may saturate in some cases. This function may not operate properly if the object is too small compared to the area of the background. This function can be used with either the linear shutter (EE or ELC mode) or an autoiris lens (AI lens or ALC mode). WITH BLC OFF WITH BLC ON 4. ALC/ELC select switch This switch is used to select EE (electronic exposure) or ELC (electronic light control) mode or AI (autoiris lens) or ALC (automatic light control) mode. Pole 4 is set to ON for EE/ELC and OFF for AI/ALC. In the EE/ELC mode, a continuously variable electronic shutter is employed to automatically control the exposure time of the CCD image sensor according to the incoming light level. With this mode selected, a fixed or manual iris lens can be used instead of an autoiris lens. In the AI/ALC mode, the CCD shutter speed is fixed to 1/60 (1/50) sec, and the incoming light level is controlled by the autoiris lens. To use a video-drive type or the DC-drive type of autoiris lens, set this switch to the ALC position. Cautions: 1. Under bright lighting conditions such as outdoors, use an autoiris lens because the EE/ELC control range is not wide enough under these conditions. 2. Under certain unique lighting conditions, the following phenomena may appear: XX135-10-01 Rev 409 VC566DN Cameras 7

λ Noticeable flicker in the picture and/or color rendition variations. To avoid this, use an autoiris lens. 3. When operating in EE/ELC mode with manual iris lens, the depth of field of the image may be less than that obtained by using an AI/ALC lens. Depth of field varies inversely with the iris opening. Thus, using this camera in ELC mode with the manual iris lens fully opened may result in less depth of field and the distant objects in picture may be seen out of focus. Note: When adjusting the focus, it is recommended that the iris be completely open (a dark condition, either at night or using a filter) so that the depth of field does not influence the adjustment. 4. Fixed iris or manual iris lenses may be used with the linear shutter (EE/ELC mode) where the scene brightness varies over a limited range. 5. Do not use the EE/ELC mode when an autoiris lens is installed. 5. AWB/ATW select switch This camera has AUTO WHITE BALANCE (ATW) and MANUAL WHITE BALANCE (AWB) function. The camera is automatically adjusted to the best condition in the ATW mode. In the AWB mode, it can be adjusted for the best color manually by pushing the AWB HOLD button (7). Pole 5 is set to ON for ATW and OFF for AWB. 6. AGC ON/OFF switch This switch is provided for the AGC circuit. The AGC circuit incorporated into the camera boosts the sensitivity automatically when the scene illumination is insufficient. 7. DAY & NIGHT ON/OFF switch This switch is used to select DAY & NIGHT mode or only DAY mode. When this switch is set to ON, it automatically shifts the optical filter for color mode or black-and-white mode according to the subject brightness. Cautions: 1. Upon power-up, DAY mode (color mode) is the default. 2. While changing from the DAY mode (color mode) or NIGHT mode (black-and-white mode) there may be noise. The image will also be distorted. This is normal and does not indicate a problem. 3. If there is strong reflection on the subject when using infrared lighting, the optical filter 8 XX135-10-01 Rev 409 VC566DN Cameras

only proper infrared lighting so that the mode does not get switched. 8. GAMMA ON/OFF switch When switched ON, GAMMA is 0.45; when OFF, GAMMA is 1. 9,� V-Phase Adjustment Push Button This camera is stores the initial data value of V-phase in EEPROM. NOTE: This camera offers V-phase adjustment over a range of ±180°. If two or more cameras are connected to a switcher and the picture on the monitor rolls while switching from camera A to B, adjusting the vertical phase (V-phase) of the cameras will probably eliminate the rolling. If this adjustment is necessary, it should only be performed by qualified technician. Before making any adjustment, confirm that cameras A and B are connected to a power supply with the same polarity. To make an adjustment, follow the steps below. 1. While observing the video output signals from both cameras on an oscilloscope, press camera A's V-phase control push button (on back of camera) until vertical sync from both cameras is in phase. 2. If camera A's adjustment range is insufficient, adjust camera B's V-phase control push button in the opposite direction to camera A until they are in phase. 3. If these adjustments do not bring vertical sync from both cameras in phase, recheck the polarity of the power supply connections. Camera A's VIDEO OUT Camera B's VIDEO OUT Should be in phase If an oscilloscope is not available, a less accurate adjustment can be made by observing the monitor and adjusting the V-phase control push button until no roll occurs on the monitor when switching back and forth between cameras A and B. XX135-10-01 Rev 409 VC566DN Cameras 9

The C-mount adapter ring is used only if a C-mount lens is used on the camera. If a CS-mount lens is used, the adapter is not necessary. To install the adapter, first screw it into the lens mount opening on the camera. Then screw the C-mount lens into the adapter. 12. CCD DUST PROTECTIVE CAP Remove this cap before installing the lens. Do not handle or leave the camera with cap open. 13. CAMERA MOUNT HOLE 14. BACKFOCUS ADJUSTMENT SCREW This screw is used to position the CCD image sensor at the precise point of focus the lens. Backfocusing Fixed-Focal-Length Lenses 1. Install a lens and connect the camera to a monitor and power supply as described in this manual. 2. Open the iris completely. If an autoiris lens used, reduce the room lighting to allow the lens to open completely. This gives the most accurate results. 3. Adjust the screw slowly until the sharpest picture is obtained. This completes the adjustment. The backfocus adjustment screw is held in place by friction, so there is no locking screw. Backfocusing Zoom Lenses 1. Install a lens and connect the camera to a monitor and power supply. If the lens is motorized, it must also be connected to a lens control. 2. Position the camera 25~50 feet (8~16meters) from a flat vertical surface suitable for focusing. A newspaper works well as a focusing target. 10 XX135-10-01 Rev 409 VC566DN Cameras

to open completely. This gives the most accurate results. 4. Zoom the lens in to the maximum telephoto setting. Adjust the optical focus of the lens using the remote lens control. 5. Adjust the backfocus screw for the sharpest image. 6. Zoom out to the maximum wide angle setting. If the picture is no longer in focus, readjust the backfocus screw. 7. Repeat steps 4~6 until the image remains sharp through the entire zoom range. This completes the adjustment. The backfocus adjustment screw is held in place by friction, so there is no locking screw.

Caution: Careful selection of proper cable is essential to obtain the best performance from this equipment. Vicon assumes no responsibility for poor performance when cables other than those recommended, or equivalent, are installed. In all cases, coaxial cable impedance should be 75 ohms. Materials Use only a pure copper center conductor. Do not use a copper-plated steel or aluminum center conductor, as they will result in poor quality video. Solid-core bare copper conductor is the best type, where flexing and bending will be minimal. If severe bending and flexing is required for installation, use a stranded center conductor. Never exceed the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius specification. Use cellular (foam) polyethylene dielectric except where heavy moisture exists. For moisture conditions, use solid polyethylene dielectric cable with a heavy exterior insulation. The shield must be copper braid providing 95% or better coverage. Cable Types The cable types listed below are the most common 75-ohm types used. They vary in size (diameter), dielectric type and net DC resistance. The larger cable results in a lower DC resistance and better video quality, with increased difficulty in handling and installation. Let the required picture quality and cable distance provide a guide in choosing the best cable type. For cables other than the approved Vicon types below, contact the manufacturers listed below. Note that “BC” refers to bare copper and “TC” refers to tinned copper.
