Operation Manual * Part code Overview The HV-D30 is a three CCD color camera combining high picture quality and high stability with the convenience of C mount optics. comprised of 410,000 picture elements (470,000 in the PAL version). The circuits from processor to encoder are digitized and contained on a single LSI chip.
Page 15: Notes To Users
Confirm the power is off before connecting or disconnecting a signal cable. connectors by the body, not the attached wires. Lens The correct lens is important for deriving optimum performance from the camera. Consult a Hitachi Denshi dealer for a selection of fine lenses according to the application. Grasp...

Page 50: Alc (Auto Level Control)
In combination of GAIN:AGC, SHUTTER:AES and AUTO IRIS, the following four kinds of ALC (auto level control) can be performed. This feature ensures stable video signal output according to a wide-range change in illumination. Note 1 AES cannot be combined with a Video type lens. 2 When not using an auto iris lens, at the Lens menu, set Lens Type to DC and Iris Mode to Manual.
Page 51: Long-Time Store Mode
Long-Time Store Mode In case that illumination on the subject is insufficient, just increasing the gain of the camera may cause an increase in noise, resulting in an unclear image. situation, it is advisable to select the long-time store mode using the external memory. Thereby, the image can be brighter and clearer according to the stored amount of image.
