Tripod socket
Camera mounting base
(locally procured)
Attach the camera cable 
to the camera mounting base.
Installation/Connection
Caution:
ONLY CONNECT THIS TO 12 V DC CLASS 2 POWER SUPPLY.
Be sure to connect the grounding lead to the GND terminal.
Important:
• The tripod and CCU shall be horizontally placed.
• When the camera head is mounted on a ceiling, the camera cable (option) also plays a role of a safety wire for just in case.
Use a cable tie to attach the camera cable to the camera mounting base. The cable tie shall be made of a durable materi-
al.
• An installation area for the camera mounting base shall be strong enough to support the total weight.
 
						

							xTurn a C-mount lens clockwise to engage the lens with
the lens mount section.
How to mount lens
Important:
• Be sure to turn off the power of the CCU before mounting a lens.
• A lens whose projection length of the lens mount section is 4 mm or less shall
be used.
• The recommended lens aperture ranges from F2.2 to F16. Selection of less
than F2.2 of the lens aperture may result in image blurring.
• When a zoom lens is used, focus adjustment method varies with the lens. For
further information, refer to the operating instructions for the lens.
• When the lens is removed, be sure to put the cap on the lens mount section of
the camera head. 
zRemove the lens cap from the lens mount section of the
camera head.
14
C-mount:
less than 4 mm {5/32}
Important:
• Check to see whether the surface of the optical filter is
clean before mounting a lens. If the surface is dirty, use
a blower brush for general camera to remove dust.

Notes:
• When MANU (x2), MANU (x4), or MANU (x8) is
selected, be sure to set ELC to OFF. (page 18)
• When GAIN is set to OFF or to a low level, video may
become grainy and unstable. In such a case, adjust the
electronic sensitivity.
• When SHUTTER is set to other than OFF, ---
appears and electronic sensitivity enhancement func-
tion is not available.
• When the electronic sensitivity enhancement function is
used, time for CCD readout is elongated to enhance the
sensitivity. Therefore, the residual image of a moving
subject is increased in accordance with the magnifica-
tion of the sensitivity.
6. Output signal setting [OUTPUT SEL]
The output signals of RGB/YPbPr output connector, HDMI
output connector are specified.
Output signals vary with models.
GP-US932CU, GP-US932CUE (HDMI output connector

(422), YPbPr (444)*
* The output signal of the RGB/YPbPr output connector is
the same in both RGB (NOR) and RGB (ENH) and in
both YPbPr (422) and YPbPr (444), respectively.
GP-US932CUS, GP-US932CUSE (SDI output connector
equipped):RGB (default), YPbPr 
						

							zMove the cursor to DTL MODE on the SCENE FILE
screen and press the [SEL] button.
→The DTL MODE screen appears.
xMove the cursor to “PATTERN”, select a pattern from
among “1”, “2” and “3”, and press the [SEL] button.
→The settings of “DTL BAND” and “DTL LEVEL” are
applied to “USER”.
The band and level can be manually adjusted in
“USER”. Perform adjustment on an as-needed basis.
Be sure to view the monitor when the adjustment is per-
formed.
Note:
• The band and level can also be adjusted directly with-
out applying any of the patterns, “1”, “2”, and “3” to
“USER”.
cMove the cursor to DTL BAND and adjust the band
with use of the [e] or [f] button.
When the level indicator moves in the + direction, the
edge becomes thinner (band becomes higher). When
the level indicator moves in the – direction, the edge
becomes thicker (band becomes lower).
vMove the cursor to DTL LEVEL and adjust the level
with use of the [e] or [f] button.
When the level indicator moves in the + direction, the
image becomes sharper. When the level indicator
moves in the – direction, the image becomes softer.
Note:
• Jaggies may appear on the edge of a photographic
subject, but this phenomenon is not abnormal. If this
phenomenon is not favorable, decrease “DTL BAND” or
“DTL LEVEL” to adjust the image quality. 
[RED DTL]  Adjusts the enhancement of red
edge.
The red edge enhancement level of images through the
camera is adjusted.
The enhancement level is selectable from the following.
OFF (default):No edge enhancement is performed on the
red portion.
LOW:The low level of edge enhancement is performed on
the red portion.
HIGH:The high level of edge enhancement is performed on
the red portion.
[GAMMA]  Performs gamma adjustment.
Be sure to view a waveform monitor or a color video monitor
when the gamma adjustment is performed.
Move the cursor to GAMMA and adjust the gamma level
with use of the [e] or [f] button.
When the level indicator moves in the + direction, the cor-
rection level becomes larger. When the level indicator
moves in the – direction, the correction level becomes
smaller.
Moving the cursor to the far end of the “+” direction sets the
gamma correction to OFF.

7. Scene file setting [SCENE FILE]
Registration of details, gamma, hue, etc. as a scene file in
accordance with an installation location allows users to
employ the registered contents only by pressing the
[SCENE] button on the front face of the CCU.
Up to 3 scene files can be registered.
Scene file registration is performed on the SCENE FILE
screen. When a scene file to be registered on the top
screen, SCENE FILE, in the SETU P menu is selected and
the [SEL] button is pressed, the SCENE FILE screen
appears. The SCENE FILE screen consists of 2 pages.
The selected scene file number appears beside the screen
title.
[DTL MODE]  Specifies the details.
The band and level of the edge correction are specified.
