Over view  
The K550 is a color television camera utilizing a 1/2-inch CCD (charge coupled device)  
solid-state pickup element and digital signal processing circuits.  
The camera is an excellent choice for surveillance and other applications.  
Features  
High sensitivity and resolution  
The combined CCD with on-chip microlenses and low noise circuit design provide high  
sensitivity down to 1.5 lx (F1.2). Horizontal resolution from the 440,000 picture element  
(pixel) CCD is 460 TV lines.  
High picture quality  
l
High picture quality is obtained by digital signal processing (DSP) utilizing LSI (large  
scale integration) circuit construction.  
l
l
Clear images result from the DSP contour correction and 2H vertical enhancer.  
Wide dynamic range is achieved by contrast correction (black stretch and white  
compression).

Important precautions  
Power supply  
l
l
Refer to the Main Specifications and be sure to use the specified power supply.  
After switching on power, several seconds are required before a picture appears on  
the monitor.  
Handling  
l
l
Do not remove the covers or disassemble the product.  
Be sure to switch off power before connecting and disconnecting cables. Grasp  
connectors by the connector structure (not the attached wires).  
When attaching and removing the lens, use care moisture or dust does not enter the  
camera interior.  
l
Installation and storage sites  
Avoid using or storing the camera in the following types of locations.  
l
l
l
l
l
l
In direct sunlight or where likely to be directly contacted by rain or snow  
Locations containing inflammable or corrosive gases  
Extremely hot or cold locations (operating ambient temperature is -10 to 50)  
Humid or dusty locations  
Where subject to strong vibration or physical shock  
In locations subject to strong electromagnetic or magnetic fields  
Long term stable performance  
When used under high ambient temperature for long periods of time, the internal  
components can deteriorate and the operating life shortened. Be sure the ambient  
temperature is less than 50C in installations intended for long term continuous operation.  
Cleaning  
Use a photographers air blower or lens brush to clear dust from the lens or optical filter.  
If soiling is severe, the cover can be cleaned with a cloth moistened with a dilute neutral  
detergent solution. Afterwards, wipe with a dry cloth.  
Do not use alcohols, petroleum distillates, liquid cleaners or sprays.  
2
CCD characteristics  
The following effects can occur with CCD elements and do not indicate malfunction.  
Smear and blooming  
When a strong light, such as a lamp or reflected sunlight, strikes the CCD, a band  
appears to extend above and below the image of the light. Install and aim the camera  
in a manner that avoids directly picking up strong light sources within the scene.  
Fixed pattern  
Fixed pattern noise can occur in the picture when the camera is used at high ambient  
temperature. The effect is most pronounced at high sensitivity settings.  
Moire pattern  
Moire is a phenomenon whereby interference between two patterns produces a third  
"phantom" pattern. The CCD pixels are arranged in a pattern and when another  
pattern (e.g., a performer wearing a finely striped necktie) is picked up, interference  
between the patterns can produce the moire effect.  
Burn damage  
When used for extended periods under very strong light, the CCD internal spectral  
filter can be discolored. Avoid using the camera for long periods of time in locations  
subject to strong light.

14  
2) Position the cursor at SET and press the left (right) direction button to change CLOSE to  
OPEN in order to save the setting.  
3) Position the cursor to LIGHT CONTROL and press the Set button to display the LIGHT  
CONTROL MENU.  
Light control menu  
Three control modes are available in combination with the AGC operation.  
The LENS mode is established at factory. To change the LENS mode to other mode,  
move the cursor to the desired control mode by the left or right button, and press the set  
button.  
To use the LENS mode, move the cursor to LENS, and press the set button.  
ÀLENS mode:  
In this mode, quantity of light can be controlled only by the lens iris.  
ÁAES mode:  
In this mode, quantity of light can be controlled only by the automatic electronic shutter of  
the CCD imaging device.  
An optimum video signal level is maintained for a fixed iris lens.  
When an auto iris lens is used, the lens iris is automatically opened to a maximum, and  
only the automatic electronic shutter operates.  
A shutter speed is selectable from the standard (1/50s) to 1/10,000s.  
Therefore, the automatic electronic shutter operates under the illumination condition  
within the range of 160 times, compared with the quantity of light, and this mode may not  
be effective in the outdoors where illumination changes largely. In such cases, change to  
other mode.  
When the lens iris is opened to a maximum in this mode, the depth of focus may become  
shorter than the auto iris lens used in other mode, and objects in the distance are out of  
focus. The depth of focus is in inverse proportion to the opening of a lens iris.  
15  
When an automatic electronic shutter is activated, the following phenomena may be  
observed.  
In such cases, change to other mode.  
l
l
Strong smear or blooming is observed when objects are illuminated by strong  
illumination like a spot light.  
Flickers or change in color are observed on the screen.  
ÂAES & LENS mode:  
In this mode, the automatic electronic shutter operation has priority to control the quantity  
of light.  
When illumination becomes bright, automatic electronic shutter control is performed from  
the standard (1/50s) to the set shutter speed with the lens iris opened to a maximum.  
When illumination becomes brighter, the shutter speed is fixed to the set shutter speed,  
and the quantity of light is controlled only by the lens iris.  
When illumination becomes dark gradually, the quantity of light is controlled by the  
inverse operation.  
Light control menu  
Shutter speed limit setting  
The shutter speed limit for the AES & LENS mode is set. Factory setting is 1/1000 second.  
At the LIGHT CONTROL MENU, select AES & LENS. Select the limit with the left/right  
buttons and press the Set button to change the setting.  
If the setting not to be changed, simply press the Set button.  
l
Contrast compensation  
Factory setting is OFF.  
If strong illumination such as a spotlight or outdoor light is present in the background,  
causing the scene to darken, by setting the contrast compensation function (black stretch,  
white compression), the dark components are enhanced in order to brighten the  
16  
image. At the same time, high luminance components are compressed, thus avoiding  
obscured black and white fogging in the resulting image. Engaging the function also  
engages gamma correction.  
When area 1 is selected at the LIGHT CONTROL MENU while this function is engaged, the  
function is automatically switched OFF if strong light enters the background. Conversely,  
the function is automatically switched ON when strong forward light is present.  
If the selected area is from 2 to 8, the function is engaged (fixed at ON during AUTO) or  
disengaged (fixed at off) according to the setting at the menu.  
Note when setting CONTRAST  
Set the CONTRAST to OFF in cases where a person or object passing directly in front of  
the camera cuts off the incident light to the extent the AGC operates. If set to ON or  
AUTO, the CONTRAST is automatically switched OFF when the AGC begins to raise the  
gain. This can cause a slight change in picture brightness, which is not due to  
malfunction.  
l
Area check and change  
Light control uses 8 measuring areas. The factory setting is area 1 (center weighted light  
metering).  
After setting the CONTRAST, press the Set button while the AREA SELECT NO. is

Photometric area setting screen  
The standard area No.1 is set at factory. When the set button is pressed while No.1" is  
blinking, the critical photometric area is displayed. The critical photometric area is  
indicated by dots. When this area is changed, a video signal level is changed according to  
the illumination of this area.  
The desired photometric area can be selected from among the areas No.1 thru No.8.  
Therefore, select the photometric area so that the optimum video signal level can be  
obtained.  
18  
When the set button is pressed with the desired photometric area displayed, the video  
signal level adjustment scale appears.  
Backlight correction  
When strong backlight enters the lens, the lens iris closes accordingly, and the other  
objects become dark.  
The backlight correction function is provided for this camera. With this function, the signal  
level for such a strong backlight is automatically corrected, and the other objects do not  
become dark.  
When strong light enters the upper half portion of the critical photometric area No.1 with the  
photometric area set to No.1, the backlight correction function is activated automatically.  
The backlight correction function is activated in any light control mode.  
When strong light enters the critical photometric area, effective backlight correction is  
performed by selecting a photometric area far from the position of strong light.  
If video signal level is not appropriate when the backlight correction function is being  
activated, adjust the video signal level.

Color temperature and white balance  
Color temperature is one of the properties of light. The unit is Kelvin(K), with 0 K  
equivalent to -273°C.  
The color temperature of a light source is related to the type of illumination and sky  
conditions. It is not directly related to brightness. A high color temperature is bluish, while  
a low color temperature is reddish.  
Since the response of the human eye is adaptive, changes in color are not sensed even  
with changes in ambient illumination. However, a camera reproduces color temperature  
differences to result in different color appearance compared to direct viewing by eye.  
White balance adjustment serves to compensate for these differences in color temperature.  
This camera is provided with automatic tracking (ATW), preset (AWC) and MANUAL white  
balance modes. The ATW mode is set at the factory.
