Are You ServicingVideo Cameras?-You Should Be!Along with the growing consumer market for video

cameras, there is also a growing market with a brightfuture for video cameras used in other applications.These applicationsinclude security surveil-lance, healthcare patientmonitoring, video pro-duction and many oth-ers. Technical advancesin camera circuitry haveled to higher reliability,better performance, andsmaller sized cameras.These changes mean new demands and greater opportuni-ties for the servicer who maintains the growing number ofvideo cameras.

If you are presently servicing or considering servicingvideo cameras or camcorders, consider the all new CVA94

Camera Video Analyzer. The “VideoTracker” is the latest addition to

the “Tech Choice” lineup ofSencore test instruments. Itwas designed with input fromservicers like yourself to helpaccurately analyze cameravideo signals.

With the “Video Tracker,” you will be able to analyze camera videosignals faster and more efficiently than ever before. Traditional testinstruments were designed for broadcast signal monitoring ratherthan servicing. However, the CVA94 “Video Tracker” is designedspecifically to improve servicing and troubleshooting. It will helpyou meet the new demands of quick and profitable video cameraservicing problems.

Traditional test instruments were designed for broadcast signal moni-toring rather than servicing. However, the CVA94 “Video Tracker” isdesigned specifically to improve camera servicing and troubleshoot-ing. It will help you meet the new demands of quick and profitablevideo camera servicing problems.

The CVA94 Camera Video Analyzer providestimesaving digital measurements of camera signalswith both waveform and vector displays. Plus, itincludes exclusive special camera tests developedespecially to speed up your camera servicing andalignment. The “Video Tracker” allows you to fullytest, align, and troubleshoot defects in any consumer,medical, or industrial video camera.

The convenient measurements and tests of the“Video Tracker” allow you to quickly analyze any

video camera to verify proper performance or to determine the type ofproblem that exists. The CVA94 features exclusive tests such as: theComposite Video Hum Test, that is designed to detect low frequencyripple that could be caused by a defective AC adapter/charger thatresults in dark horizontal “hum” bars on the picture. Or the CompositeVideo S/N test that helps you evaluate the camera’s video output sig-nal. In addition to these special tests, the CVA94 provides exclusiveand dynamic troubleshooting features to help you quickly narrowproblems to a single defective stage. The CVA94 provides you withsignal measurements, tests, and troubleshooting aids to isolate prob-lems in the camera’s lens, iris, luminance, chroma, sync generator,power adapter, and power supply circuits. If you have a video camerawith a defect, the “Video Tracker” will help you first identify, thencorrect the problem.

1. The Direct Digital Readout simplifieschroma measurements for easier and fastercamera servicing.

2. Waveform Measurements are easy anderror-free with digital convenience.

3. Chroma Phase And AmplitudeMeasurements are as easy as pressing a button.

4. The Six Special Tests complement wave-form and vector measurements to provideefficient video camera service.

5. Digital Waveform Measurements areeasy to make with the CVA94's exclusivedelta bar.

6. Both Composite And Y/C Video Inputsallow you to fully test all cameras.

7. Both Composite And Y/C Outputs allowyou to match any video monitor input foropt imum camera test ing.

8. The Waveform And Vector Calibrationsignals allow quick accuracy checks of theCRT display.

9. The Exclusive BeamSaver™ featureautomatically protects the CRT phosphorsfrom damage.

The CVA94 “Video Tracker" CameraVideo Analyzer provides you with:

Digital waveform measurements for fast signaltroubleshooting.

Digital vectorscope measurements for easy,error-free color checks.

Special tests to positively identify and localize:

- Power adapter and power supply problemswith exclusive “Hum” test.

- Poor picture quality with exclusive“Video Noise” test.

- Chroma circuit problems with exclusive“Chroma Noise” tests.

- Reference oscillator problems with exclu-sive “Burst Frequency” and “FrequencyError” tests.

Selectable Video Inputs compatible with bothcomposite and high resolution Y/C camera out-puts for added versatility and convenience.

Scope Trigger Output to save your trou-bleshooting time. Plus, the new “MarkerTrigger Reference” allows you to signal traceany signal defect to its source.

Composite and Y/C Outputs match any videomonitor input, while the exclusive integrated“Monitor Marker” positively identifies thesignal measurement.

Extra features to insure profitable servicing:

- Exclusive Beam Saver automatically pre-vents monitor phosphor burns.

- Built-in Cal Signals for measurementconfidence.

- Integrated RS232 computer interface forautomated testing.
