Overview
The Hitachi HV-F31F/HV-F22F are high precision 3CCD progressive scan color camera, which has
single chip digital processing LSI, a C mount prism, three 1/3-inch 800,000 pixels (HV-F31F) / 1/2-inch
1,450,000 pixels (HV-F22F) square CCDs , and an IEEE1394 digital output.
A newly developed multi-functional LSI use the accurate 14 bit digital processing technology, which
performs the high picture quality signal processing and the picture compensating functions, beyond the
capability of the other conventional analog cameras. The IEEE1394 interface reduces the system cost
without an image capturing board and special connecting cable.
Features
• Camera signal processor is single chip LSI.
The Hitachi’s most advanced technology (0.18 um design process, 1.8V internal core drive voltage)
produces a single newly developed ultra LSI chip (3 million gates), and contributes to the downsizing
and the low power of the camera. In addition, the 12-bit A/D converter and 14 bit internal processor
provide high S/N and wide dynamic range.
• High quality picture
Excellent color reappearance and high definition are materialized by CCD with a high sensitivity micro
lens and LSI signal processing technology.
• 6 vector masking
Independent six colors masking is the Hitachi innovation for optimizing color balance. The saturation
and the hue of 6 colors (Red, blue, green, cyan, magenta and yellow) are adjusted independently to
deliver the best color in image capture, microscope and other applications.
• Auto white shading compensation
Color shading due to the aberration of C mount lens is automatically compensated (reduced).

ꢀStop using the camera at the approach of an
electrical storm (thunder audible). Protect the
camera from rain if using it outdoors.
These may cause
The following types of environment can impair
performance, lead to damage, pose safety hazards
and shorten the useful life of the camera. Select
the sites for installing the storing the camera
carefully.
• Direct sunlight, rain or snow
ꢀIn event the camera shows any abnormality,
switch off the camera and disconnect the power
• Flammable or corrosive gasses
• Very hot or cold (beyond 0 to 4 ℃ operating,

cord.
Contact
a
Hitachi Denshi service
representative.
• Humid or dusty
• Exposed to vibration or shock
Operating considerations
ꢀPower supply
• Strong electrical or magnetic fields
• Exceptionally strong light
Check that the supplied voltage is between 10.5
and 15 VDC. Inadequate voltage can affect color
fidelity and cause noise, while voltage over 15 V
can damage the camera.
•
Continuous operation
In situations where the camera is used
continuously for long periods of time, the ambient
temperature should be kept below 40 ℃ in order
to avoid accelerated deterioration of internal
parts and to derive maximum long-term
reliability.
ꢀConnectors
Confirm the power is off before connecting or
disconnecting a signal cable. Grasp connectors
by the body, not the attached wires.
4
Cleaning
ꢀA photographer’s blower or lens brush can be used for clearing dust from the lens and optical filters.
ꢀWipe dust from the case with a soft dry cloth. If soiling is severe, moisten the cloth with a solution of neutral
detergent. Afterwards, wipe the cover with a dry cloth.
ꢀDo not use petroleum distillates, alcohol or spray type cleaners.
Transportation
Remove the lens (install lens mount cap) and other attachments. Pack the camera carefully in its original or
equivalent container. Use ample cushioning to protect the camera from physical shock.
CCD properties
The following phenomena are inherent to a charge coupled device imaging element and do not indicate
malfunction.
1) Smear and blooming
Vertical bands are visible when a strong light enters the scene. Adjust the camera aiming direction
carefully to avoid strong direct or reflected light.
2) Fixed pattern noise
High ambient temperature can cause fixed pattern noise to appear throughout the scene.
5
3) Moire
Interaction between patterns can produce an additional "phantom" pattern to appear. The CCD picture
elements (pixels) are arranged in a pattern, which can interact with a pattern in the scene (e.g., a
performer wearing a finely striped necktie) to result in a Moire pattern. The effect should be considered
when selecting costumes, props and other scene elements.
4) Ghosting
Strong direct or reflected light near an object of interest can cause ghosting of the object to appear in the
picture. The effect is more obtrusive with certain iris settings and lens types. Select the scene layout
and camera pointing direction carefully in order to avoid this effect.

Lens
CAUTION:
Observe the dimensions of the lens mounting
selection as illustrated at the right.
If the dimensions are not observed, do not use
such a lens, because the lens and the camera will
be damaged.
Lens optics
Selecting a lens
The proper lens is important for obtaining
adequate performance from the camera.
Especially in the case of a three elements CCD
system C mount camera, the lens incidence
and exit distances are important. If separation
is too short, color irregularity Is apt to occur at
the top and bottom of the image.
Lens flange
HV-F31F: Max. 4.3mm
HV-F22F: Max. 4.0mm
Conversely if too long, where the lens iris is a
nearly fully open, resolution is impaired, while
shading and flare can seriously detract from
image quality. When using 3 CCD color system
camera, it is also recommended to use a lens
designed for this purpose.
10
Camera mounting
The camera is provided with threaded screw holes at the top and bottom. These allow mounting to either a
tripod or a mounting bracket.
Screw type: U 1/4-20
Length: 4.5 to 6 mm
L
Screws longer than 6 mm can
cause internal damage, while
less than 5 mm prevents secure
fastening and risks dropping to
cause damage and injury.
11
Control and Status register (CSR)
HV-F31F and HV-F22F differ from earlier conventional cameras in that camera functions can be set by
entering predetermined setting commands in the Control and Status register (CSR) of the 1394-based
Digital Camera Specification Ver. 1.30.
Common and camera-specific CSR register setting operations are described below.

-OFF (HV-F22:1/15sec, HV-F31:1/30) -
Setting value 80000000 h
Switches off shutter operation.
14
-Manual adjustment-
Setting value 82000xxx h
xxx: (HV-F22) 7C5h to B6Ch / (HV-F31) 789h to B27h
Electronic shutter can be set in the range of 4 to 1/100,000 second.
Shutter speed setting value can be derived as follows.
OFF_SPEED = 15 (HV-F22), 30 (HV-F31).
• Cause of shutter speed ≦ (1 / OFF_SPEED)
a) Setting value obtained from fluorescent time.
nnnh = 800h + log0.99( OFF_SPEED×”Shutter Speed”)
b) Fluorescent time obtained from setting value.
Shutter Speed[sec] = OFF_SPEED × 0.99(nnn―800h)
Ex. 1 Fluorescent time with HV-F31 = setting value nnn to obtain 1/100 second.
800h+ log0.99(30×(1/100))
= 800h+ log(30×(1/100)) / log0.99
= 878h
Ex. 2 Setting value nnn that produces 1/100 second fluorescent time with HV-F31F.
800h)
(1/30) × 0.99(878h
= 1/100(sec)
－
• Cause of shutter speed > (1 / OFF_SPEED)
a) Setting value obtained from fluorescent time.
nnnh = 801h - ( OFF_SPEED×”Shutter Speed” )
b) Fluorescent time obtained from setting value.
15
Shutter Speed[sec] = (801h – nnn ) / OFF_SPEED
Example Fluorescent time = 1/7.5s usable as setting value nnn with HV-F31F.
801h - (30×(1/7.5)) = 7FDh

Procedure
11h: Turn off the color bar
12h:
13h:
(WHITE BALANCE) change to Manual
Increase the intensity of illumination, turn lens iris to ward open direction, or
increase the gain to provide a proper video level.
14h:
Decrease the intensity of illumination, turn lens iris toward closed direction, or
decrease the gain to provide a proper video level.
15h:
The color temperature is too high, making it impossible to reach the optimum
value in adjustment. (If there is no problem in practical application, use the
camera under the current condition.)
34
Add a filter to the lens or illumination to decrease the color temperature.
The color temperature is too low, making it impossible to reach the optimum value.
(If there is no problem in practical application, use the camera under the current
condition.) Add a filter to the lens or illumination to increase the color
temperature.
Carry out auto setup again. If this message appears in repeated attempts, it is
necessary to inspect the inside of the camera. In this case, notify your local
Hitachi Denshi sales agent or Hitachi Denshi service office
