: Up to 350 meters (approx. 1,148 feet) with power.
Simultaneous support for HDTV (1080i 50/60, 720p 50/60, 1080psF25) and SDTV (625i 50, 575i 60) in both digital and analog domains.
| Symptom | Probable Cause | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | 1. Power off. 2. Cable disconnected. 3. Brightness turned down. | 1. Check Camera/CCU power. 2. Reseat VF cable. 3. Increase Brightness knob. | | Image is Blurry | 1. Viewfinder Focus Ring is misadjusted. 2. CRT failing. | 1. Adjust the external focus ring. 2. If the "glow" looks fuzzy even with focus maxed, the CRT may be at end-of-life. | | Horizontal Bar Rolling | 1. 50Hz/60Hz hum interference. 2. Ground loop. | 1. Check power source grounding. 2. Move away from strong magnetic fields. | | Image is "Washed Out" | 1. Contrast too low. 2. Ambient light leaking into eyepiece. | 1. Increase Contrast. 2. Press eye against eyecup firmly. | | Burn-in on Screen | Static image left on for hours. | CRT phosphor burn is permanent. The unit functions but will have "ghost" images. Replace CRT. | ikegami bsf-300 manual
If the unit does not power on, verify the AC power input and check the internal fuse.
Setting up the BSF-300 requires strict adherence to broadcast safety standards, particularly concerning high-voltage power over hybrid fiber cables. Step 1: Physical Mounting
Four channels of return video (2x SDI, 2x VBS) allowing for upconverted HD-SDI monitoring at the camera head. Note: This article is compiled from common technical
Indicated signal lock status between the camera head (CCU) and the base station. A solid green light indicates a secure digital handshake. Blinking red indicates an attenuation or physical connection failure. Filter Status: Shows remote optical filter positions. Rear Panel Connections
These are the controls located on the outside of the BFS-300 unit, accessible to the operator during a shoot.
Route the HD-SDI OUT channels directly to your production switcher or video router matrix. 1,148 feet) with power
: Up to 10 kilometers (approx. 6.2 miles) using dual single-mode fiber with local power.
