7 DETAIL KNOB Specifications for Control of SD Detail When the SD detail control function is assigned to the detail knob, and the panel is connected directly to a camera in stand-alone mode, the control command for the down converter of the camera is now sent. Maintenance > SD Adjusting > SD Detail Menu Secondary Menu Submenu Switch Control Item Description SD Adj Maintenance items for down converter output SD Detail Contour correction function for down converter output OFF Disables SD Detail function. 1/3 First page of SD Detail adjustment Level Limiter Crisp Level Dep Contour correction level Adjusting in plus direction sharpens picture; adjusting in minus direction softens picture. Makes adjustments so contour correction is not greater than a set level to prevent over correction by strong contour correction when shooting subjects with large luminance differences. Adjusting in plus direction enables clipping of objects with small luminance differences. Makes adjustments so signals with small luminance differences are considered noise and correction is not applied to de-emphasize contours of noise with the contour correction function. Adjusting in plus direction results in luminance differences for which contour correction is not performed, becoming large and improving S/N sensitivity, but resolution sensitivity deteriorates. Contour correction is not applied to dark parts and S/N sensitivity is increased to de-emphasize contours of noise with the contour correction function. Adjusting in plus direction results in contour correction not being applied up to a brighter level. 2/3 Second page of SD Detail adjustment H/V ratio Frequency Detail Comb Adjusts horizontal and vertical ratio of contour correction. Adjusts center frequency of contour correction. Reduces cross color noise by applying comb filter to contour correction signals. Adjusting in plus direction reduces cross color noise, but resolution sensitivity deteriorates. This can only be used when an SD camera is connected. 3/3 Third page of SD Detail adjustment W Limiter B Limiter Limiter correction for detail signals added in white direction. Limiter correction for detail signals added in black direction. Page 7 of 21

8 SD Detail Adjusting Knob A function is added to assign SD Detail to the detail adjustment knob on the panel with the following menu: Config > RCP > Customize > Detail VR (See Figure 6.) Figure 6 When adjusting SD Detail, specifications must be as described in Specifications for Control of SD Detail on page 7. (This applies to RCP-1500/1501 only.) FORCED AVAILABILITY OF PANEL ACTIVE A specification is added to force availability of PANEL ACTIVE in network system emergencies when the button is not lit. When the camera network system is configured to MCS mode, MCS master manages PANEL ACTIVE; therefore, if the HUB or MCS master unit is disrupted, the camera becomes inoperable because PANEL ACTIVE is not available. However, when the camera/ccu and panel are connected via CCA cable, communication between the panel and camera is not disrupted even if the MCS master unit or HUB is disrupted. The forced legacy switch equipped with the CCU is provided for emergency measures against the error. This emergency function is now also provided with the panel. Even if connection to the HUB or MCS master unit is disrupted in an MCS mode system, PANEL ACTIVE can be made available by holding the PANEL ACTIVE button for five seconds. Page 8 of 21

9 PANEL ACTIVE MENU SELF-LOCK Mode SELF-LOCK mode is added to the PANEL ACTIVE menu, which enables control of the applicable camera from multiple control panels (RCP/MSU) without transition of PANEL ACTIVE status between panels. (See Figure 7.) In SELF-LOCK mode, the statuses for PANEL ACTIVE and button lighting are managed by the panel and used exclusively for the panel. The panel is operable when the ACTIVE button is lit, and the panel is inoperable when the button is not lit. When the unit is set to SELF-LOCK mode, absolute value mode is inhibited because multiple panel operation becomes available; therefore, neither the ABSOLUTE button nor RELATIVE button of IRIS MASTER BLACK becomes operable. NOTE: SELF-LOCK mode can be selected only in service level mode or higher. IRIS/MB ACTIVE Mode An IRIS only setting is added to IRIS/MB ACTIVE mode. IRIS/MB Active Mode > Iris Only button (See Figure 7.) Figure 7 Menu Submenu Item Option Function Mode Panel Panel Active Sets mode of Panel Active. Active Mode Toggle Sets Panel Active to toggle mode. Self-Lock Mode Self-Lock IRIS/MB Separate Power ON Active IRIS/MB Sets Active Mode Iris Only Sets Panel Active to Self-Lock mode. IRIS/MB ACTIVE controlled separately even in Self-Lock mode. Panel is ACTIVE when power is set to ON with Self-Lock mode. IRIS/MB ACTIVE to enable IRIS only. Page 9 of 21

10 CUSTOMIZATION OF STATUS SCREEN A function is added to set the type of status screen that appears when no MENU buttons are lit. Config > RCP > Customize > Status Customize (See Figure 8.) Figure 8 When the status screen display is disabled, a blank screen appears if no MENU buttons are lit. Several types of content can be selected to be displayed on the status screen. Adjustment functions can also be assigned to the adjustment knobs of the menu operation block according to the type of display. Menu Secondary Menu Submenu Switch Control Item Description Customize Status Customize Changes status screen configuration. Can only be set in Engineer mode.

12 PANEL SETTING BACKUP FILES Specifications are changed for panel setting backup files (Network Config, Custom Paint Menu, Custom Assign). Network Config Network Config backup files now support read and write for the TCP/IP setting and unit ID for the CNS setting on memory sticks. To prevent setting the same IP address for different units, register the serial number of the unit when storing the setting; a warning is indicated if serial number information is not the same during reading. (See Figure 11.) NOTE: If the model is not the same, data cannot be read. INDICATION WHEN MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER ARE THE SAME INDICATION WHEN SERIAL NUMBER IS DIFFERENT Figure 11 Page 12 of 21

13 RCP as MSC Master A mode is added to enable RCP to be set as the MCS Master of the camera network system. Config > RCP > Security > Item Permission > MCS M/C Enable (See Figure 12.) Figure 12 By setting MCS M/C Enable to ON, RCP can be set to MCS Master from Config > Network > CNS. NOTE: When using MCS M/C Enable with the camera system, always supply power to RCP, which is set as the MCS Master. If power is supplied from the CCU, do not turn CCU power OFF. Setting RCP as the MCS Master is not recommended if power cannot always be supplied to RCP. FILE ID for Memory Stick Files File ID can be set or indicated for panel setting, REFERENCE, or SCENE files on the memory stick. When the File ID in the applicable menu is pressed, a software keyboard appears for entering the File ID. (See Figure 13.) FILE ID INDICATION Figure 13 Page 13 of 21
