CAMERA UNIT (CAMERA PCB)

The camera unit is composed a lens, color filter, CCD (IC802), driver (IC800) and signal

processor (IC802). It produces voltages R, B, and G, for the colors red, blue, and green

when light from a scene is focused on the surface. These voltage values vary according

to the intensity of the respective color being scanned.

The camera unit must be replaced with whole unit when it is defective, because the precise

adjustment is required when the individual parts are replaced, and can be done only at our

factory.

DIGITAL (Serial I/O)

Digital PCB is composed Microprocessor (IC600), D RAM (IC601), Flash Memory (IC602),

Gate Array (IC700), and V RAM (IC701).

Microprocessor controls the CCD, D RAM, Flash Memory and key operation. Gate array

compresses data for the color and the luminance from the CCD to increase the number of

memory, and up to 96 images can be stored in flash memory. The color and the luminance

data are mixed in the gate array to make the video signal.

As to spare parts for digital PCB, Casio supplies PCB ass'y and the individual parts.
