The compact sized KY-F560U camera incorporates three 1/2-inchprogressive scan CCD chips offering 440,000 effective pixels and haswide screen capability. The KY-F560's high quality images are greatlyenhanced by the 12-bit Digital Signal Processing (DSP). The KY-F560produces 850 lines of horizontal resolution with a high sensitivity ofF13 at 2,000 lux and will produce 100 percent video in a minimumillumination of F1.4 at 0.5 lux. The camera is fully compatible withall JVC KY-F32 series options including 1/2-inch bayonet lenses.

1/2" 3-CCD color accuracy (trichromatic prism): The KY-F560 incorporates three 1/2? 410,000* (NTSC)and 470,000** (PAL) pixel CCDs, each equipped with advanced circuitrythat virtually eliminates vertical smear when shooting bright lightsagainst a dark background. Lag and image burn are also reduced toindiscernible levels. The result is clear, sharp image quality under awide range of shooting conditions.

F13, 2000 lx sensitivity: Even in extreme low light situations, thisultra-sensitive camera (F13 at 2000 lx) assures effortless shootingthanks to an on-chip lens system CCD and advanced video processingcircuitry. This powerful feature increases creative flexibility andsimplifies lighting requirements. In addition, the camera head hasextra-high effective resolution of 850 TVL.
Newly developed 12-bit ADC and 24-bit DSP fordynamic range of more than 400% and near-perfect gamma correction: The KY-F560 is equipped with the most up-to-date12-bit ADC on the market, allowing digital conversion of the entiredynamic range of each CCD with maximum precision and no distortion.This superior performance makes possible extra-high horizontalresolution of 850 TVL and S/N of 64dB (NTSC) and 62dB (PAL). Imagequality is further enhanced by a super-fast 24-bit multi-streamparallel processing DSP that dramatically improves highlight handlingand achieves near-perfect gamma correction. Together, these advancedprocessors enable the KY-F560 to closely approximate the colorreproduction and shadow detail of a full studio camera.
Can be expanded to include 26-pin connector and SDIcompatibility with optional boards and studio adapters: Thanks to its open architecture, this camera can beexpanded to handle digital or analog studio applications with theKA-F5603 Studio Adapters with SDI output or the KA-F5602 StudioAdapters with analog video output via the RM-P210. An optional largeviewfinder, intercom and remote control are available to complementeither studio camera system. The KA-F5601 plug-in SDI camera interfacecan also be used for remote camera applications in conjunction with theremote pan & tilt system.
Remote camera control via SDI interface possible inconjunction with pan & tilt head and system controller: With the SDI interface installed in combination withthe pan & tilt system, you'll be able to operate the pan & tilthead remotely as well as control various camera settings such as MDlens zoom & focus and white balance -- all without separate wiringto the camera and at distances of up to 100 m (Fujinon), 2000 ft.(ESI).
Control over various camera parameters: A wide range of camera parameters including whiteshading, knee, gamma, flare correction, master black/black balance andcolor matrix can be adjusted to suit shooting conditions and operatorpreferences by using the RM-LP55U or LP57U, remote control unit.
Full-time automatic operation: To ensure accurate color reproduction under variablelighting conditions, the KY-F560 features a Full-Time Auto WhiteBalance system that automatically and continuously adjusts whitebalance over a wide range to ensure stable, accurate colorreproduction. Changes in light level are also dealt with automaticallyby a high-performance ALC function that increases the gain when thelight level is low, and a sophisticated EEI function that uses thevariable electronic shutter to reduce sensitivity when the light levelis high. This combination of Full-Time Auto White, ALC and EEI allowsthe KY-F560 to shoot continuously, making automatic corrections asrequired without the need for operator intervention.
RS-232C interface capability and JVC KY-F32 seriescompatibility: The KY-F560 comes with a built-in RS-232C interfacethat allows you to control the camera with a PC. As the RS-232Cprotocol is compatible with the KY-F32 camera, you can replace theKY-F32 with the KY-F560 if required.
