PREFACE
FEATURES (With GP-KS162 H)
The Panasonic Camera Control Unit GP-KS162CU is
designed to use with the optional Camera Head GP-
KS162H.
1. 1/2 inch Interline CCD image sensor with 768 (H) x 492
(V) pixels.
2. 480 lines of horizontal resolution.
This system overcomes space limitations that have compli-
cated many video applications. Weight of only 0.04 lbs (16
g), this remarkably compact CCTV camera measures only
two-thirds of an inch in diameter and less than two inches
in length. GP-KS162CU Remote Control Unit (CCU) and
optional camera head GP-KS162H can be extended up to
33 feet(10-meter) away, using an optional 33-feet (10-
meter) cable. So the exceptionally manueurable GP-KS162
series lets you obtain a whole new world of camera angles
and shots that were once quite difficult to achieve. With the
380,000-element, 1/2-inch CCD pick-up device, horizontal
resolution is more than 480 lines, and signal-to-noise ratio
is 50 dB. An Auto Light Selection Switch and lets you obtain
clear, high-quality color images in light as low as 0.3 foot-
candle (3 lux at F1.4).
3. 0.3 footcandle (3 lux) at F1.4 of minimum scene illumi-
nation.
4. 50 dB of signal to noise ratio.
5. Selectable trough the Lens Auto Tracing White
Balance (ATW), Auto White Balance Control (AWC) or
Manual White Balance Control.
6. Auto Light Control Switch enables to control the video
output level to constant level whatever the object
brightness may be.
7. Video Level Control enables to adjust the video level to
your preference.
8. The preset 1, preset 2 and automatic setting mode are
provided for Back Light Compensation (BLC) function.
9. 2-memory AWC mode is available.
10. DC 12V operation
In addition, a small diameter wide-angle lens developed by
Matsushita makes high resolution standard even with sub-
jects as close as 4/5th of an inch away.
11. 33-feet (10-meter) of maximum cable length between
camera head and camera control unit with optional
camera cable.
Color changes are sensed instantly and compensated for
by a microcomputer in the GP-KS162CU. Proper white bal-
ance is then obtained via the built-in-Auto Tracing White
Balance (ATW) circuit. Both White Balance and R and B
color can also be adjusted manually, for optimum color
reproduction.
12. S-VHS Video Output is provided.
The camera head can be used with most existing camera
systems. And VTR, video printer or floppy disk recorder, for
a host of new and traditional applications.
