1. General The Hitachi KP-FI is a full-frame shutter black and white camera using a 1/2" progressive scan CCD. The KP-FI features high performance, high sensitivity, and high resolution. The KP-FI is provided with a variety of functions including a multiple step electronic shutter, integration mode switching, external HD/VD sync input, Field-on-Demand, and non-interlaced scanning functions.
sync signal applied. 7) Field-on-Demand function The images captured at an optional timing by an external trigger signal input can be instantly obtained as Images. The timing can be adjusted by an external trigger signal and the shutter. External View Caution installation of the camera use camera mounting holes A, B and C.
Gamma correction 1 (factory setting) or selectable by internal switch Separately settable to two video channels Fixed or AGC: Available to only VIDEO OUT 1 External switch selectable. Fixed = factory setting. Gain selection VIDEO 1 : Fixed or set by knob VIDEO 2 : Fixed The external switch is selectable.
3) Hitachi Denshi is not liable for the losses caused when the equipment is used in a system used for business trades, production process, medical fields, crime prevention applications, etc.

4-1 Power supply Connect 12V ± IV DC from an external power supply. Use a stable power supply without ripple and noise. 4-2 To protect CCD(sensor) 1) Do not touch the glass surface of the sensor to avoid dirt and scratches. 2) If the glass surface of the sensor should become dusty or dirty, wipe off dust or dirt carefully with a cotton-tipped applicator.

8. Optical Filter The KP-F1 is provided with a IR cut filter, that can be removed if required for a specific application. Removal of the IR cut filter. 1. Remove two screws (1) shown, and filter holder (2) will come off.
• Supply HD and VD pulses to the KP-F1 when using external sync drive. • The power supply voltage should be between 11 and 13 volts DC and should be free of noise and ripple. • Confirm proper voltage polarity before connecting a external power supply to the KP-F1.
11. Camera Settings Gamma (y) correction Factory setting is OFF (1.0), but it is changeable if necessary. VIDEO OUT 1 (SW101) and VIDEO OUT 2 (SW102) can be set separately. GAIN adjustment Video output GAIN is adjustable. Adjusted to 0.70 V p-p (y OFF) at F4, 4001ux at factory setting.

White clip adjustment White clip is adjustable. Adjusted to 1.0 Vp-p at factory setting. VIDEO OUT 1 (RV102) and VIDEO OUT 2(RV106) are used for adjusting white clip White suppress (knee) adjustment available upon request. Video signal level is prevented from white saturation and dynamic range is extended. It is adjusted so that the video level exceeding 120% can be suppressed.
Field-on-demand The field-on-demand function is set as follows. 12. Video Output Modes The frame shutter function operates in either of the following modes. Simultaneous odd/even field output mode The CCD odd and even line pixels are read simultaneously and are separately output simultaneously (video 2-channel output).
KP-F1 Video Output Mode Table Video Output Mode Output Connector Output signal Video 1, Video 2 1/60 s 2:1 Interlace (standard) Video 1, Video 2 1/60 s 2:1 non-interlace (video 1; odd, video 2; even) Video 1 1/30 s 1:1 non-interlace (progressive)
Progressive Non-interlace (EIA: 1/30 s, CCIR: 1/25 s) 13. External synchronization (2:1 interlaced) When operating the camera by external drive signals, connect sync drive signals (HD and VD) to the DC IN/SYNC connector. When sync signals are supplied, the mode is automatically switched from the internal sync mode to the external sync mode.
14. Field on demand function Field on demand refers to a function for picking up rapidly moving objects by applying a trigger pulse input at a desired timing to provide a desired or a fixed exposure time. The function is effective since the object is always taken at the same position in the picture.

Non-interlaced operation When non-interlaced external sync drive signals (HD/VD) are connected from an external unit, the mode is automatically switched to non-interlaced scanning mode.
