When using several cameras in a system, image generation time offset can lead to delays when switching between images from several cameras on one monitor. To avoid this, image generation must be synchronized on all cameras in the system.
The cameras can be synchronized using the mains supply frequency or an external signal.
This table shows and compares various external synchronization procedures as a function of the type of synchronization signals used and the type of power supply (DC/AC):

TERMINAL - LL PHASE and TERMINAL - H PHASE (external synchronization)
These settings relate to the external synchronization signal on the EXT HD/SYNC or EXT VD/LL terminals.
When cables of different lengths are used, set the phase compensation to compensate for delay differences (LL PHASE and H PHASE).
i
The LL PHASE setting corresponds to the LL PHASE setting in the AC LINE LOCK submenu.
TERMINAL – 75 ohm (termination resistor)
If the synchronization cables are connected in bus configuration: activate the 75 ohm termination resistor on the last camera only.
If the synchronization cables are connected in Y: activate the 75 ohm termination resistor on all cameras
AC LL (mains frequency synchronization)
If an alternating current ( 24 V AC) is used, the camera can be synchronized using the 50Hz mains frequency (AC Line Lock), making a synchronization cable unnecessary.
Adjust the phase compensation to balance mains supply phase offset (L1, L2, L3).
i
The mains supply frequency must be consistent, otherwise image disturbances will arise.

AE LEVEL (image brightness)
AE LEVEL controls the aperture on DC controlled lenses.
Adjusting the AE LEVEL with video signal controlled lenses displaces the control range of the lens.
Generally, increasing the AE LEVEL brightens the video image, while decreasing it makes the image darker.
When using a lens with manual aperture control, the LEVEL settings should be made with an aperture setting between 8 and 12.
Set the AE LEVEL as required.
VIDEO IRIS (basic aperture setting)
This menu is only effective with video signal controlled lenses. It is used to adjust the basic aperture setting.
Important: only set the aperture using the method described here! Other methods are not applicable to this camera!
Direct the camera towards an illuminated object.
Move the ALC regulator to the center position between PEAK and AVERAGE.
Set the LEVEL regulator of the lens so that a value between 60 and 68 is displayed in the ON-SCREEN menu.
The lens is now set correctly, regardless of the resultant picture brightness.
Readjust brightness in the AE LEVEL menu.
Important: do not subsequently adjust the level regulator of the lens again!

12 Troubleshooting
Before starting to fault-find, ensure that there really is a malfunction.
Phenomena that are attributable to component design features may be incorrectly interpreted as malfunctions.
The following phenomena are normal and do not represent a malfunction:
Phenomenon Cause Remedy
Color rendition in the ATW mode is unstable.
This is the normal attribute of the automatic white balance function (ATW).
-
Vertical lines are visible in the image ("smear").
The picture appears unfocussed.
The CCD video image sensor reacts with great sensitivity to very bright objects (e.g. light sources).
Do not point the camera not directly at bright objects or light sources.
A noise can be heard when switching between the color and black&white modes.
The noise is caused by the mechanical operation of the infrared-filter and is quite normal.
-
The function of the CCD video image sensor has been impaired by a excessively high ambient temperatures.
Lower ambient temperature. if not possible: Install the camera in a protective housing (see chapter "6.1 Accessories", page 5).
White dots appear in the picture.
The shutter speed is too slow. Try other camera settings that allow a shorter exposure time (see chapter "11.2.1 SHUTTER (shutter speed)", page 30).
The camera switches to black&white mode for no apparent reason.
The camera has responded to reduced brightness levels by automatically switching to the black&white mode in order to increase IR sensitivity (IR-CUT function).
If you prefer to control switch-over manually, disable the automatic function in the "IR-CUT" menu (see chapter "11.2.5 CONFIGURE (configuration)", page 39).
- 48 -
Undesired effects that cannot be attributed to the phenomena described above are generally a result of faulty or inappropriate parameterization.
Malfunctions are usually caused by faults in camera peripherals.
Fault Cause Remedy The power supply is either not or incorrectly connected.
Check power supply connection cable. (If DC, ensure correct polarity!)
The power supply adapter is defective.
Replace the power supply adapter.
The video cable is not connected or defective.
Connect the video cable or replace it.
No image available from the camera.
The monitor (or a distribution component ) is not connected or defective.
Connect the monitor or replace it. Check the function of all distribution components.
The focal length is improperly adjusted.
Set the focal length correctly.
With video signal or DC controlled lenses: the control cable of the lens is not connected to the camera.
Connect the lens to the camera.
Use a shielded power supply cable.
Image quality is poor and cannot be improved.
Camera function is affected by external interference. Install the camera in a protective housing.
Increase the range between IR CUT IN and IR CUT OUT or increase the hysteresis setting.
The camera switches uncontrollably back and forth between the color and black&white modes under changeable light conditions.
The hysteresis setting is incorrect. Or:
The amplification-dependent automatic function has been wrongly set combined with inappropriate shutter functions.
Do not use the automatic function if light conditions vary often and excessively. Switch manually via a control cable.
The interface cable is either not or incorrectly connected or defective.
Check the interface cable and the connection to the terminals.
The PC with remote control software cannot establish a connection to the camera. The camera interface to the
PC is incorrectly configured. Correct the interface configuration.
It is not possible to display a stored video image.
A power supply failure has erased the camera memory.
