The AJ-HDC27A integrates two units: 1) a high-

definition (HD) color video camera featuring an IT- CCD equipped with a 1 million pixel on-chip lens that supports the full spectrum of HD TV (720P/59.94 Hz), and 2) a DVCPRO HD format VTR that incorporates the latest compression technology. Featuring a 100 Mbps recording rate for the VTR as well, this unit is capable of recording images with an extremely high picture quality to achieve the highest performance and most sophisticated functions as an integrated camera/VTR for electronic field production (EFP) applications. Furthermore, it is compact and lightweight, has low power consumption, and excels in achieving a high level of picture quality, sensitivity, and mobility, and is extremely dust-proof and moisture-proof. These are all attributes which enable the unit to be used for electronic news gathering (ENG) applications as well. Since digital signal processing is provided in both the camera unit and VTR unit, the picture quality is further improved while the unit’s stability is also enhanced. Small multimedia cards meeting global standards can be used for the camera and VTR setting data as part of a system which can accomplish data management. Features of the camera unit The camera unit of the AJ-HDC27A has the following features. OHigh sensitivity: 2000 lux (F10) OHigh signal-to-noise ratio: 54 dB (standard) OLow smear OLow flare Digital signal processing Analog signals are converted into digital signals through 10-bit A/D conversion at a sampling frequency of 74.1758 MHz. This processing not only enhances the picture quality, stability and reliability but it also enables the viewfinder screen displays and many of the adjustment and setup items to be configured in a menu-driven format. Customized setting menus The status displays, messages and marker displays are controlled using setting menus which are displayed on the viewfinder screen. The user can select whether or not to display certain items and under what conditions they are to be displayed to suit the user’s convenience. For instance, the ON/OFF settings can be selected for nine different statuses for the “!” lamp display which tells the user that the unit is experiencing some kind of problem. The menus are also used to select settings and functions and execute memory card operations. Setup card Up to eight sets of setting menu data can be stored on SD card (Secure Digital Memory Card) and small multimedia cards (VW-MMT8) serving as setup cards. Organizing this data by set or by shooting conditions for storage is useful in reproducing the same setup states with ease and in ensuring consistency in the setup states from one set of data to the next. High-performance electronic shutter Use of the self-contained electronic shutter results in images with minimal shake even when the subject is fast-moving. Any of the following special modes can also be selected. OSynchro scan mode This is ideal for shooting the monitor screens of a personal computer or work station. (60.0 Hz to 251.3 Hz) Images with minimal horizontal stripe noise can be obtained in this mode.

Features of the camera unit

Wide-ranging video gain selection A value ranging from –6 dB to +30 dB can be selected for the gain using the setting menu and GAIN switch. Even when the gain is increased for shooting in dark locations, images with minimal noise can be obtained because of the high signal-to-noise ratio. The super gain function can be allocated to the USER button, and 30 dB can be selected using this button. Automatic adjustment of black balance and white balance, and memory function The black balance and white balance can be adjusted automatically by means of some simple switch operations. The adjustment settings remain stored in the memory even after the power has been turned off so that the need for the balance to be re-adjusted each time the power is turned on is obviated. Two memories, A and B, are used to store the white balance, and it is possible to retain two adjustment settings per color temperature conversion filter, making for a total of 8 settings altogether. When the color temperature conversion filter is rotated, it is automatically adjusted to the white balance. (Using menu settings, this can be set for two filters only rather than for each and every filter.) When the unit is shipped, 3200 K is stored as the preset value for the white balance. This value can always be recalled when no time is available to perform adjustments. (The preset value can be switched between 3200 K and 4300 K.) Character display function The unit comes with functions for showing the switch settings, automatic black balance and white balance adjustment statuses, warning displays, etc. on the viewfinder screen. Moreover, when a battery in the Digital Magnum Series made by Anton/Bauer Corporation is used as the unit’s power supply, the remaining battery charge can be displayed as a numerical value on the viewfinder screen. Warning system for indicating VTR unit statuses The user is alerted to problems in the VTR, tape-end, battery consumption, etc. by various alarm lamps and alarm tones. The remaining tape time can also be checked by a character display inside the viewfinder. 4-piece filter disc sets available as standard accessories The filter best suited to the subject’s brightness and color temperature can be selected. Two independent sets of filter discs, one for CC and one for ND, each with four filter discs, are provided as standard accessories. Automatic aperture reference value finely adjusted The reference value used for the automatic aperture adjustment can be finely adjusted by performing setting menu operations. Generation of color bar signals and reference audio signals The unit contains a circuit for generating color bar signals so that a color monitor can easily be adjusted. It also incorporates a circuit for generating reference level audio signals to enable the audio level to be adjusted with ease. Functions and circuits for assuring high picture quality Equipped with the following functions (or circuits) to guarantee that the picture quality will be high, the unit is designed to take advantage of the merits of its high- performance CCD to the maximum extent possible. OAUTO KNEE circuit for achieving a wide dynamic range through which strong signals can pass. OBuilt-in 4-line image enhancer OBuilt-in shading compensation function for when the lens extender is used OBuilt-in sawtooth wave generator for use with adjustments O2-level zebra pattern to enable 3 kinds of patterns including spot zebra to be selected OON/OFF selector switch for zebra patterns (viewfinder) Remote control Remote control of the basic operations and adjustments of the camera unit and VTR unit is enabled by connecting the extension control unit (optional accessory AJ-EC3).

Features of the VTR unit

Digital system The pictures are compressed by a component digital recording system that uses the latest compression technology while non-compression PCM recording featuring excellent signal-to-noise ratio, frequency band, waveform characteristics and reproduction of detailed areas is employed for the sound. The result is an even higher picture and sound quality. Power saving management (SAVE REC) function When this unit is used for recording, its playback system circuitry is shut down. The output of signals to the HD SDI OUT connector is also shut down when the cable has not been connected so that the unit’s power can be conserved while the unit is being operated. Scene-to-scene continuity Simply by pressing the VTR START button or lens VTR button, continuity between the scenes is obtained at a precision of 0 to +1 frame. Rec review function The last 2 to 10 seconds of a recording are automatically rewound and played back to enable the user to quickly check what has been recorded. Playback function This function enables the playback picture (in black and white) to be viewed on the viewfinder screen. Color playback pictures can be output from the HD SDI OUT connector. Built-in time code generator/reader The same or separate time code information can be recorded on the dedicated sub-code track and video AUX area, and played back. External locking of time code The built-in time code generator can be locked to an external generator. A lithium battery is used as the backup power supply of the built-in time code generator to back up the memory data for about a year even when no power is supplied to the unit. Built-in DOLBY NR system The cue audio recording circuitry contains a Dolby B noise reduction circuit. Audio functions OA phantom power supply type of microphone (optional accessory) with sharp directivity characteristics can be attached. It can also be detached from the unit for use as an interview microphone. OOther kinds of microphones can also be connected and, using the model AJ-MH700P microphone holder (optional accessory), attached to the unit. NEWS REC function This function especially supports shooting in the context of news gathering or documentary filming to ensure that no opportune shutter opportunities are passed up. In other words, by controlling the start key acknowledgment time, the unit can continuously record without the user having to interrupt the recording: this safeguards against the failure to record those precious moments—a failure that occurs when recording is resumed after it has been shut down temporarily. RETAKE function This function is for not leaving behind superfluous cuts when a cut turns out to be no good during the shooting of news, reports or art programs. Users should remember to handle this function very carefully. If there is enough leeway in the shooting time and a particular cut is clearly judged to be no good, the tape is rewound to the start of the cut concerned and the rec pause (rec standby) mode is established by operating the MODE CHECK button and lens RET button. Since recording is now commenced from that point on the tape, the no-good cut will be deleted. In order to prevent the cut prior to the no-good cut from being deleted, a part of the no-good cut equivalent to ten or so frames is left behind. By cutting down on the time taken for copying onto the work tape, for instance, this function is very effective in achieving economical operation. INTERVAL REC function This function makes simple interval shooting possible. It proves to be very effective when shooting programs with a nature theme or art programs.

Adjusting the white balance and black balance

Adjusting the white balance 1 Set the switches as shown in the figure. FILTER control WHITE BAL: A or B OUTPUT: CAM GAIN: Normally 0 dB Set to a more suitable gain level if it is too dark. When the GAIN and WHITE BAL switch settings are changed, messages advising the user of the set positions appear on the setting change message display of the viewfinder screen. (However, this happens only when “3” has been set as the display mode.) 2 Select the FILTER control setting in accordance with the lighting conditions. OFor examples of the FILTER control settings, refer to the description of the FILTER control (page 13) in the “Shooting (recording)/playback function section.” When the FILTER control setting is changed, a message advising the user of the set positions appears on the setting change message display of the viewfinder screen. (However, this happens only when “3” has been set as the display mode.) A better picture can be achieved by adjusting the white balance and black balance in the following sequence: AWB (white balance adjustment) 5 ABB (black balance adjustment) 5 AWB. There is usually no need to re-adjust the black balance even when the power has been turned off and back on. The white balance must always be re-adjusted when the lighting conditions have changed. If the display mode is set to “2” or “3,” messages advising the user of what progress has been made in the adjustments and what the adjustment results are appear on the viewfinder screen when the black balance or white balance adjustment is commenced. Set the display mode to “1” if these messages are not to be displayed. OFor details on the display mode settings, refer to “Display modes and setting change messages” (page 43). OABB must be performed when the MASTER GAIN levels have been changed on the LOW SETTING, MID SETTING and HIGH SETTING screens of the CAM MENU, when the super gain setting has been changed using the USER button, and when the GAMMA (ON/OFF) has been switched on the CAMERA SETTING screen. OWith artificial lighting—particularly fluorescent lights and mercury lamps—the luminance may appear to be constant but the intensity of the R, G and B colors will change in synchronization with the power line frequency. Especially in regions with a 50 Hz power line frequency, mutual interference arises between the vertical sync frequency (approx. 60 Hz) of this unit and lighting frequency (50 Hz). As a result, the hue tends to change with the passage of time or flickering occurs, making it impossible to achieve a proper white balance. It is recommended that the white balance be achieved using the settings shown in the table below. Power line frequency Shutter speed 50 Hz 1/100 60 Hz OFF

Adjusting the white balance and black balance

Adjusting the white balance 3 Erect a white pattern at a place with the same conditions as the source of light illuminating the subject, zoom in, and shoot the white of the pattern on the screen. A white object (such as a white cloth or white wall) near the subject may be used as a substitute for the white pattern. The size of the white object required is shown in the figure below. 4 Adjust the lens aperture. 5 Set the AUTO W/B BAL switch to AWB, and then release it. The switch returns to the center, and the white balance is automatically adjusted. At least one-fourth of the screen width At least one-fourth of the screen height Take care to keep high-brightness spots off the screen. 6 While the adjustment is in progress, the following message appears on the viewfinder screen (but only when “2” or “3” has been set as the display mode). AWB ACTIVE AUTO W/B BAL switch Message appearing while the adjustment is in progress 7 Adjustment is completed in several seconds. (A message similar to the one shown in the figure now appears.) The adjustment value is automatically saved in the memory (A or B) which was set in step 1. AWB A OK 3.2K Message appearing upon completion of the adjustment 8 A message such as the following appears if the color temperature of the subject is lower than 2500 K or higher than 5600 K. The downward pointing arrow indicates that the color temperature is lower than the display temperature; conversely, the upward pointing arrow indicates that the it is higher than the display temperature. When a zoom lens with an automatic aperture function is used, aperture hunting may occur. Adjust the aperture’s gain control (marked as IG, IS, S, etc.) provided with the lens. For details, refer to the operating instructions which accompany the lens. Hunting: The auto iris response is repeated, causing the brightness levels of the image to become inconsistant. AWB A OK 2.5K m When the color temperature is lower than 2500 K AWB A OK 5.6K m When the color temperature is higher than 5600 K When the AUTO W/B BAL switch is pressed again to the AWB side when the white balance is being adjusted automatically (AWB ACTIVE), the adjustment operation will stop. The adjusted value in this case is the value before automatic adjustment was performed.

Adjusting the white balance and black balance

Adjusting the white balance When the white balance cannot automatically be adjusted An error message appears on the viewfinder screen (when “2” or “3” has been set as the display mode). When there is no time to adjust the white balance Set the WHITE BAL switch to PRST. The white balance for the filter is achieved in accordance with the setting position of the FILTER control (outer). White balance memories There are two sets of white balance memories, A and B. When the FILTER INH setting on the CAMERA SW MODE screen of CAM MENU is ON (default setting), the number of memories for set A and set B is limited to one each. In this case, the memory contents are not coupled with the filter. When FILTER INH is set to OFF, the adjustment values for each filter can be automatically saved in the memories corresponding to the WHITE BAL switch settings (A or B). This unit contains four filters so that a total of 8 (4a2) adjustment values are saved. When any of the error messages listed above is displayed, take the recommended action, and try adjusting the white balance again. If the error message persists even after repeated attempts, consult your dealer. On rare occasions, AWB cannot be adjusted and a NG display appears. In a case like this, adjust AWB again. Messages relating to white balance adjustment Error message Meaning Recommended action Select a suitable filter. COLOR TEMP. HIGH Color temperature is too high. Select a suitable filter. COLOR TEMP. LOW Color temperature is too low. Increase the amount of light or increase the gain. LOW LIGHT There is not enough light. Reduce the amount of light or reduce the gain. LEVEL OVER There is too much light. If flickering is to blame, install the shutter, and stabilize the shooting conditions. UNSTABLE CONDITION The shooting conditions are unstable (shooting under fluorescent light, unstable camera posture, etc.). White balance search area It is possible to set the white balance search area to either 90% or 50% by changing the AWB AREA setting on the OPTION screen of the CAM MENU. 90% 50%

Adjusting the white balance and black balance

Adjusting the white balance When FILTER INH is set to ON When AWB is adjusted, the color temperature and filter number applying at the time are displayed. If the filter is then turned, the color temperature and filter number are displayed. The white balance is almost fully adjusted if the subject is illuminated at a color temperature approaching the one displayed. AWB is adjusted using subject filter (B) with a lighting color temperature of 3200 K. (Example of display) AWB A OK 3.2K 7 The filter is changed to filter (C) 7 The filter (B) is restored. 7 “4.3 K (B)” is displayed. (1): This indicates that AWB was adjusted using the filter. 4.3K(B) 7 “3.2 K (B)” is displayed, and the status when AWB was first adjusted is indicated. 3.2K(B) If the color temperature of the subject in this state is near 4.3 K, the white balance is right and so the camera can be used. 7

Adjusting the black balance 1 Set the switches as shown in the figure. OUTPUT: CAM AUTO W/B switch 2 Set the AUTO W/B BAL switch to the ABB position, and then release it. The switch returns to the center, and the adjustment is performed. The black balance needs to be adjusted in the following cases: OWhen the unit is used for the first time OWhen the unit is used after it has not been used for a prolonged period of time OWhen the unit is used in an ambient temperature which has fluctuated significantly OWhen the value selected for the gain switch has been changed OWhen the super gain setting has been performed using the USER button OWhen the gamma ON/OFF setting has been changed 3 While the adjustment is in progress, the following message appears on the viewfinder screen (but only when “2” or “3” has been set as the display mode). While the adjustment is in progress, the lens aperture is automatically set to CLOSE. ABB ACTIVE Message appearing while the adjustment is in progress 4 Adjustment is completed in several seconds. (A message similar to the one shown in the figure now appears.) The adjustment value is automatically saved in the memory. ABB OK Message appearing upon completion of the adjustment OCheck that the lens connector has been connected and that the lens aperture is set to CLOSE. OWhile the black balance is being adjusted, the aperture is automatically set to the light-shielding status. OWhile the black balance is being adjusted, the gain selector circuit is switched automatically. Flicker or noise may appear on the viewfinder screen, but this is not indicative of malfunctioning. OIf black shading is not satisfactory even with ABB OK, open the BLACK SHADING screen of CAM MAIN MENU 4, and adjust the black shading. (Refer to page 91.) OWhen the super gain has been set to ON, the black balance is executed at the preset position in the white balance memory. OWhen the AUTO W/B BAL switch is pressed again to the ABB side when the black balance is being adjusted automatically (ABB ACTIVE), the adjustment operation will stop. The adjusted value in this case is the value before automatic adjustment was performed.

Setting the time data

When the user’s bit and time code are both to be used, the user’s bit is set first. If the time code is set first, the time code generator will stop while the user’s bit is being set so that the time code setting will be off. The time code setting range extends from 00:00:00:00 to 23:59:59:29. Setting the user’s bit enables information such as memos (dates, times) up to 8 digits in hexadecimal notation to be recorded on the sub code track. User’s bit memory function The user’s bit settings (except for the actual time) are automatically saved in the memory and retained even after the power is turned off. OWhen DATE is selected from the UB MODE items, the real time operations for year/month/day/time of the TIME/DATE screen are adhered to. OWhen TIME is selected from the UB MODE items, the real time operations for hours/minutes/seconds of the TIME/DATE screen are adhered to.

Externally locking the time code

1 Set the POWER switch to ON. 2 Set the TCG switch to F-RUN. 3 Set the DISPLAY switch to TC. 4 Supply the reference time code and reference video signal which are in a phase relationship that satisfies the time code standard to the TC IN connector and GENLOCK IN connector respectively. The built-in time code generator is now locked to the reference time code. About 10 seconds after locking, the external lock status will be retained even if the connection of the externally supplied reference time code is disconnected. However, the servo lock will be subject to disturbances if it is connected or disconnected during recording (REC). When the external lock operation is performed, the time code is instantly locked to the external time code, and the same value as the external code value appears on the counter display. Do not set the unit to the recording mode during the few seconds it takes for the sync generator to stabilize. User’s bit setting when the time code is externally locked When the time code is externally locked, only the time data is locked to the time data of the external time code. This means that the user’s bit can be set separately for each unit. The user’s bit can also be locked to the user’s bit of the external time code. For details, consult your dealer. To release the external lock First stop supplying the external time code, and set the TCG switch to R-RUN. When switching the power from the battery to an external power supply while the time code is externally locked In order to ensure the continuity of the time code generator’s power, connect the external power supply to the DC IN connector, and then remove the battery pack. If the battery pack is removed first, no guarantees can be made for the continuity of the external locking of the time code. Gen-locking of the camera unit while the time code is externally locked While the time code is externally locked, the camera unit is gen-locked by the reference video signal which is supplied to the GEN LOCK IN connector.

If the unit is in the rec-pause mode, it is possible to

ensure scene-to-scene continuity with an accuracy of 0 up to 1 frame just by pressing the VTR START button or lens VTR button. If the unit is in a mode other than rec-pause, the point at which the scene-to-scene continuity is to be maintained must be located before recording is started. Scene-to-scene continuity The scene-to-scene continuity timing is located automatically. However, the time taken until the start of recording differs depending on the setting of the VTR SAVE/STBY switch. OWhen the VTR SAVE/STBY switch is set to SAVE, recording commences about two seconds after the VTR START button is pressed. OWhen the VTR SAVE/STBY switch is set to STBY, recording commences as soon as the VTR START button is pressed.

When the PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed, the

playback pictures can be monitored in black and white on the viewfinder screen. These playback pictures can be monitored in two other ways. Rec review When recording is temporarily stopped and the lens RET button is pressed, the last two seconds of the tape are automatically rewound, and the playback pictures on this part of the tape appear on the viewfinder screen. This makes it possible to check whether recording was performed properly. After the two seconds of the tape have been played back, the unit is again set to the recording start standby mode. If the RET button is held down, a maximum of 10 seconds of the tape is rewound and played back. The rec review function cannot be used unless recording lasts for one or more seconds. Color playback When an HD color monitor is connected to the unit’s HD SDI OUT connector, color playback pictures can be monitored. The playback signals will be output to the viewfinder even during rewinding (REW) or fast forwarding (FF). Selecting the audio output of the playback signal and adjusting the volume are accomplished using the MONITOR switch control (page 11). Playback (checking what has been recorded) Depending on the internal VTR status, the RET button functions which appear on the viewfinder screen change as follows. Lens RET button functions Internal VTR status What appears on the viewfinder screen Pictures which are shot by the camera (RET button does not work) During recording What has just been recorded (rec review of 2 seconds of the tape recording) can be checked.

Other VTR functions

The NEWS REC function is set using NEWS REC MODE on the VTR MENU “FUNCTION” screen. By controlling the VTR START button acknowledgment time during recording (by up to 2 seconds), the time taken for the unit to transfer from the recording mode to the rec-pause mode can be delayed. In other words, by controlling the VTR start button operation acknowledgment time, the unit can continuously record without the user having to interrupt the recording: this safeguards against the failure to record those precious moments—a failure that occurs when recording is resumed immediately after it was shut down temporarily. NEWS REC function The RETAKE function is activated by selecting ON for RETAKE MODE on the VTR MENU “FUNCTION” screen. If the lens RET button is pressed while holding down the MODE CHECK button when the unit is in the rec- pause mode upon completion of a recording or subsequently in the STOP mode, the tape will be rewound to a point near the start point (a position about 10 frames ahead of the recording start point) of the final picture which was last recorded, and the unit will be set to the rec-pause mode. If there is enough leeway in the shooting time and a particular cut is clearly judged to be no good, recording can be started from that point so that the no-good cut will be deleted. By cutting down on the time taken for copying onto the work tape, for instance, this function is very effective in achieving economical operation. RETAKE function This function makes simple interval shooting (intermittent recording) possible. It proves to be particularly effective when shooting programs with a nature theme or art programs. The INTERVAL REC function is set on the VTR MENU “FUNCTION” screen. OINTERVAL REC MODE This sets the INTERVAL REC function to ON or OFF. OINTERVAL REC TIME This sets the recording time (1 cut) for interval shooting. OINTERVAL PAUSE TIME This sets the rec-pause time for interval shooting. Once the above items are set, the unit is set to the INTERVAL REC mode, and “i” starts to flash inside the viewfinder. When the VTR START button is now pressed, interval shooting is started, and “iREC” lights in place of “i.” Also, the time unit (h/min/s/frm) display on the counter display area starts to flash. When the unit is set to rec-pause mode upon completion of the first interval shooting, “iREC” goes from lighted to flashing inside the viewfinder. The time unit display on the counter display area remains flashing. INTERVAL REC (intermittent recording) function RET button MODE CHECK button i REC h min s frm
