PREFACE

The Panasonic AW-E560 is a digital signal processing

color video camera that incorporates three 1/2” CCDs. A

digital video signal processing system is packed in a com-

pact, lightweight body while assuring high picture quality,

high reliability and high performance.

System setup and adjustments can be easily performed by

setup menu.

Connection to peripheral devices, such as an RCU and an

RCB, enables a wide variation of system configurations.

The lens and the camera pan/tilt unit can be remote con-

trolled when the camera is connected to an RCU with

optional multiplex adaptor WV-PS550.

Connection to an RCU for camera control and power sup-

ply can be simply done with a coaxial cable through an

optional adaptor.

FEATURES

1. Digital video signal processing for high quality, high

reliability, high performance, lightweight and compact

size.

2. Resolution: 800 lines (HIGH BAND DTL : ON), S/N

ratio: 62dB

3. Minimum illumination: 5 lux (F1.4, +18dB)

4. SET UP menu for system check and readjustments.

5. Built-in automatic controls, including ATW, ELC, and

AGC

6. CCD readout is switchable between field and frame

modes. Vertical resolution can be stepped up in

frame mode and it is effective for shooting still objects.

7. Any of R/G/B, Y/C, Y/PB/PR and composite can be

selected as an output signal.

8. Thanks to the built-in synchronized scanning system,

noiseless pictures are available from computer graph-

ics.

9. Various correction circuits permit video reproduction

with highest fidelity.

10. Chroma aperture correction enables clear shots of

dark color objects.

11. 2 Dimensional lowpass filter reduces spurious signals.

12. A dark detail circuit provides natural edge correction

to any object in a dark scene.

-3-

13. A digital highlight compression circuit reproduces nat-

ural dynamic ranges.

14. A digital color matrix enables high fidelity color

images.

15. The optimum operation mode for each of your specific

applications can be selected.

16. The scene file automatically sets up the most appro-

priate shooting conditions.

17. System setup parameters, such as SMPTE/full color

bar, date and time are indicated on the monitor

screen.

18. Remote control with an RCU or RCB.

SPECIAL NOTES ON OPERATION

• Turn power off before connecting or disconnecting

cables.

• Connection or disconnection of any studio cable, RCB

cable or other cable to any unit of equipment must be

performed while power is off.

• While the camera is automatic mode;

Shooting of bright objects in ELC operation mode may

result in a smeared picture unique to the CCD.

The ATW function under fluorescent illumination can

adversely change the white balance.

prism by placing the body cap into the lens mount

hole.

• Do use a mild blower or lens cleaning tissue designed

for coated lenses, to clean the surface of the lens or

prism in the event that it should become dirty.

• Do use a dry cloth to clean the camera if it is dirty. In

case the dirt is hard to remove, use mild detergent

and wipe gently.

-5-

• Do not aim the camera toward the sun, no matter

whether it is turned on or not.

• Do not expose the camera or Remote Control Unit

(RCU) to rain or moisture, and do not try to operate the

equipment in wet areas. Do not operate the camera or

RCU if it becomes wet.

• Do not operate the camera or Remote Control Unit

(RCU) outdoors during a lightning storm.

• Do not use the camera in an extreme environment

where high temperatures or high humidity exist.

• Do not leave the camera and Remote Control Unit

(RCU) turned on when not in use. Do not unnecessar-

ily turn the camera power on and off repeatedly. Do

not block the ventilation slots.

• Do use caution when operating the camera in the

vicinity of spot lights or other bright lights, as well as

light reflecting objects and surfaces.

• Do take immediate action if ever the camera or RCU

should become wet. Turn the power off and have the

unit checked by an authorized service facility.

• Do follow normal safety precautions to avoid personal

injury.

• Use the camera in an environment where the tempera-

ture is within 14°F - 113°F (−10°C - +45°C), and the

relative humidity is within 30% - 90%.

• Always turn the power off when the camera is not

going to be used. Operate the camera and Remote

Control Unit (RCU) only when there is adequate venti-

lation.
