VIDEO CAMERA

VIDEO CAMERA

Base Theory
A video camera is a camera used for electronic motion picture acquisition, initially developed by the television industry but now common in other applications as well. The earliest video cameras were those of John Logie Baird, based on the electromechanical Nipkow disk and used by the BBC in experimental broadcasts through the 1930s. All-electronic designs based on the cathode ray tube, such as Vladimir Zworykin's Iconoscope and Philo T. Farnsworth's Image dissector, supplanted the Baird system by the 1940s and remained in wide use until the 1980s, when cameras based on solid-state image sensors such as CCDs (and later CMOS active pixel sensors) eliminated common problems with tube technologies such as burn-in and made digital video workflow practical.



Video cameras are used primarily in two modes. The first, characteristic of much early television, is what might be called a live broadcast, where the camera feeds real time images directly to a screen for immediate observation. A few cameras still serve live television production, but most live connections are for security, military/tactical, and industrial operations where surreptitious or remote viewing is required. The second is to have the images recorded to a storage device for archiving or further processing; for many years, videotape was the primary format used for this purpose, but optical disc media, hard disk, and flash memory are all increasingly used. Recorded video is used in television and film production, and more often surveillance and monitoring tasks where unattended recording of a situation is required for later analysis.
Modern video cameras have numerous designs and uses, not all of which resemble the early television cameras.
Professional video cameras, such as those used in television and sometimes film production; these may be studio-based or mobile. Such cameras generally offer extremely fine-grained manual control for the camera operator, often to the exclusion of automated operation.
Camcorders, which combine a camera and a VCR or other recording device in one unit; these are mobile, and are widely used for television production, home movies, electronic news gathering (including citizen journalism), and similar applications. Some digital ones are
Pocket video cameras.
Closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, generally used for security, surveillance, and/or monitoring purposes. Such cameras are designed to be small, easily hidden, and able to operate unattended; those used in industrial or scientific settings are often meant for use in environments that are normally inaccessible or uncomfortable for humans, and are therefore hardened for such hostile environments (e.g. radiation, high heat, or toxic chemical exposure).
Webcams are video cameras which stream a live video feed to a computer. Larger video cameras (especially camcorders and CCTV cameras) can be similarly used, though they may need an analog-to-digital converter in order to store the output on a computer or digital video recorder or send it to a wider network.
Digital cameras which convert the signal directly to a digital output; such cameras are often small, even smaller than CCTV security cameras, and are often used as webcams or optimized for still-camera use. The majority are incorporated directly into computer or communications hardware, particularly mobile phones.
Special systems, like those used for scientific research, e.g. on board a satellite or a spaceprobe, or in artificial intelligence and robotics research. Such cameras are often tuned for non-visible radiation for Infrared photography (for night vision and heat sensing) or X-ray (for medical and video astronomy use).

Introduction:

A comprehensive idea of a TV camera function is depicted in Figure 3-2 and 3-3. In Figure 3-2 the camera is aimed at scene / view so that the optical image (optical image) can be focused on the target plate tube makers (pick-up tube). If you can look inside, you'll see the shadow-optical. The resulting video signal is shown by the oscilloscope waveform in the bottom left of the picture. Above is a monitor oscilloscope, which shows a reproduced image.

Details of the video signal waveform which is more fully shown by the block diagram in Figure 3-3. At first, blanking pulses added to signal the camera. They cause the signal amplitude to the black levels so pengulangjejakan (retrace) the MRV will not be visible. Further alignment pulses (sync) is inserted. Alignment (synchronization) is required to set the time & MRV horizontal and vertical.
Camera signal with blanking and synchronization (sync) is called a composite video signal (composite video signal). Sometimes the term is not a composite video signal (noncompoxite video signal) is used to identify the signal with blanking camera but without alignment. Standard output level of the composite video signal from the camera is 1Vpuncak-to-peak (pp = peak to peak) with the alignment pulses in the down position for negative polarity.

PATTERN GENERATOR

PATTERN GENERATOR

Base Theory
General Description
A pattern generator is a very useful instrument for the correct alignment of the timing
circuits of a television set. The circuit we propose you to build, is a «bar generator» that
will produce horizontal and vertical stripes (bars) on the TV screen, that will help you align
the vertical and horizontal scanning synchronisation circuits of the receiver.




Technical Specifications - Characteristics 
Working voltage: ................... 9 VDC
Current drawn: ...................... 2 mA
Operating Frequency: ........... 170 - 250 MHz (VHF)
Horizontal scan frequency: ... 16525 Hz
Vertical scan frequency: ....... 50 Hz
Output impedance: ............... 75 ohm


How it Works
The circuit can be divided  in five different stages. Four astable multivibrators and the
output stage which is built around the VHF oscillator.
The first astable consists of two NOR gates in U2 and the components R9, R15, D4, C8,
and C10. The two NOR gates are used as inverters and  together they form an astable
multivibrator which oscillates at a frequency of 16525 Hz, which is the horizontal scan
frequency of the TV, and can be fine-tuned by means of R15. The capacitor C10 is there
to provide the necessary feedback to maintain the oscillations. The signal from the output
of the oscillator is taken through C8 and R6 to the output stage and modulates it.
The other multivibrator built around the other two NOR gates in U2, together with R12,
R14, D6 and C12 produces the necessary pulses for the vertical scanning frequency which
is 50 Hz. This frequency is fed to the input of one of the AND gates in U1 (pin 1).
The multivibrator built around two of the NOR gates in U3 and the components R13, R17,
C9 and D7 produces the pauses between pulses, which after being fed to the AND gates
in U1 (pins 8, 9 and 10) which are connected as inverters are then also used to modulate
the oscillator and appear on the TV screen as vertical stripes (bars).
Finally the last multivibrator which consists of the remaining two NOR gates in U3 together
with the components R1, R11, R16, C7 and D5 produces the pulses which appear on the
screen as horizontal lines.
All four multivibrators are based on the same operating principle. They are elementary
oscillators using NOR gates and a feed back element which is either a capacitor or a
resistor (depending on the operating frequency) and all of them incorporate a trimmer to
permit slight adjustments to their operating frequency.
The output signals from the three inverters in U1 are taken through D3, R7 and D2 to the
VHF oscillator. This is a common base circuit which has a low input resistance and relatively high voltage amplification. The output frequency of the oscillator is determined by the coil which is formed by the copper track on the PCB and the variable capacitor L1. This frequency is between 170 and 250 MHz and can be adjusted by the trimmer L1.
The resistors R1 and R2 form a potential divider which controls the modulation level of the
output oscillator and the trimmer R3 controls the contrast of the pattern against the back
ground.
Finally the transistor Q2 and its associated circuit (R2 and D1) form a voltage stabiliser for
the circuit. The trimmers R14, and R15 control the vertical and horizontal scan frequencies
respectively so that the image becomes steady and the squares on the screen appear
perfect. The trimmers R16 and R17 set the number of the horizontal and vertical bars
respectively.

Construction
First of all let us consider a few basics in building electronic circuits on a printed circuit
board. The board is made of a thin insulating material clad with a thin layer of conductive
copper that is shaped in such a way as to form the necessary conductors between the
various components of the circuit. The use of a properly designed printed circuit board is
very desirable as it speeds construction up considerably and reduces the possibility of
making errors. QUASAR Kit boards also come pre-drilled and with the outline of the
components and their identification printed on the component side to make construction
easier. To protect the board during storage from oxidation and assure it gets to you in
perfect condition the copper is tinned during manufacturing and covered with a special
varnish that protects it from getting oxidised and also makes soldering easier.
Soldering the components to the board is the only way to build your circuit and from the
way you do it depends greatly your success or failure. This work is not very difficult and if
you stick to a few rules you should have no problems. The soldering iron that you use
must be light and its power should not exceed the 25 Watts. The tip should be fine and
must be kept clean at all times. For this purpose come very handy specially made sponges
that are kept wet and from time to time you can wipe the hot tip on them to remove all the
residues that tend to accumulate on it. DO NOT file or sandpaper a dirty or worn out tip. If
the tip cannot be cleaned, replace it. There are many different types of solder in the market
and you should choose a good quality one that contains the necessary flux in its core, to
assure a perfect joint every time. DO NOT use soldering flux apart from that which is
already included in your solder. Too much flux can cause many problems and is one of the
main causes of circuit malfunction. If nevertheless you have to use extra flux, as it is the
case when you have to tin copper wires, clean it very thoroughly after you finish your work.
In order to solder a component correctly you should do the following:
- Clean the component leads with a small piece of emery paper.
- Bend them at the correct distance from the component’s body and insert the component
in its place on the board.
- You may find sometimes a component with heavier gauge leads than usual, that are too
thick to enter in the holes of the P.C. board. In this case use a mini drill to enlarge the
holes slightly. Do not make the holes too large as this is going to make soldering difficult afterwards.
- Take the hot iron and place its tip on the component lead while holding the end of the
solder wire at the point where the lead emerges from the board. The iron tip must touch
the lead slightly above the p.c. board.
- When the solder starts to melt and flow, wait till it covers evenly the area around the hole
and the flux boils and gets out from underneath the solder. The whole operation should not take more than 5 seconds. Remove the iron and leave the solder to cool naturally without
blowing on it or moving the component. If everything was done properly the surface of the
joint must have a bright metallic finish and its edges should be smoothly ended on the
component lead and the board track. If the solder looks dull, cracked, or has the shape of
a blob then you have made a dry joint and you should remove the solder (with a pump, or
a solder wick) and redo it.
- Take care not to overheat the tracks as it is very easy to lift them from the board and
break them.
- When you are soldering a sensitive component it is good practice to hold the lead  from
the component side of the board with a pair of long-nose pliers to divert any heat that
could possibly damage the component.
- Make sure that you do not use more solder than it is necessary as you are running the
risk of short-circuiting adjacent tracks on the board, especially if they are very close
together.
- When you finish your work, cut off the excess of the component leads and clean the
board thoroughly with a suitable solvent to remove all flux residues that may still remain on
it.

To build the pattern generator solder first of all the IC sockets on the P.C. board taking
care to insert them correctly and then make the jumper connections and solder the pins for
the external connections. Continue with the resistors and the capacitors, again making
sure that the electrolytic are inserted the right way round, and finally solder in place the
diodes and the transistors, taking care to avoid overheating them with the soldering iron.
Place the trimmers and the variable capacitor in their places and solder the battery clip’s
leads across the points marked (+) and (-), pins 4 and 1 respectively.
At this point make a very careful inspection of your work and if you are sure that everything
is OK take the IC’s from their aluminium wrap, which is there to protect their delicate
circuits from static discharges and insert them very carefully in their sockets. Be especially
careful in the process, to avoid touching the pins with your hands and also to avoid
bending them between the IC’s and the sockets.
To get the best performance from your generator it is highly recommended to enclose it in
a metal case which will shield all stray radiation that could possibly cause trouble in use. (If
you use a metal case the shielding of the output cable should be connected to the case by
means of a 5 or 10 pF ceramic capacitor). The generator can be connected to the TV set
under test either directly using a piece of coaxial cable connected between the points 3
(signal) and 2 (earth) of the circuit and the VHF antenna input of the receiver, or if the
receiver is sensitive enough and the instrument is not very far the connection by cable may
not be necessary because the transmitter section of the generator is quite powerful.

Adjustments 
- Connect the output of the generator by means of a coaxial cable with the input of your TV
receiver.
- Turn the receiver on and select a VHF channel (say ch. 5).
- Set R3 in the middle of its travel.
- Using a plastic tuning screwdriver adjust L1 till you get an image on the TV screen even if
it is distorted.
- Adjust R14 till the vertical stripes become more defined.
- Adjust R15 so that the horizontal stripes appear on the screen.
- By adjusting R16 and R17 select the number of horizontal and vertical stripes that will be displayed on the screen.
- Re-adjust R14 to make the horizontal stripes completely steady.
- Finally touch again R14, R15, R16, and R17 to get the best possible image definition and
set the image contrast by means of the trimmer R3.

Theory Platform:

The Source of image patterns ( on pattern generator) is the technique of video (television) for the purpose of setting up or finding fault. There are various kinds of image patterns with a variety of needs. Pattern of so many images that exist, there are several commonly used image patterns are not very specific uses.
Types of Image and its Use Patterns 

# spots (Dot)

To check and adjust the static convergence in the middle of the screen with a low brightness. This should be done according to the television manufacturer's instructions.

# The boxes (crosshach)

Plaid pattern with horizontal lines and vertical lines with the background color of black and white color line.
1. To check and adjust the horizontal and vertical dynamic convergence and the convergence an angle.

2. By linearity of deflection (deflection) the correct horizontal and vertical, horizontal white lines should be a rectangular equilateral.

If not, then the plane can be checked for truth response amplitudes. Vertical white line width should be 200 ns.

If this line is not sharp and visible lower intensity than the horizontal line, the amplitude response is possible recipient is not enough.

If vertical lines appear double, receiver circuit may be vibrating.

3. To pin-cushion proofreaders check the receiver. With the convergence of the right, square in the corner of the screen should be approximately equal to a square in the middle of the screen at a distance of normal vision.

# White (white)

This pattern contains a signal 100% white (no color information) with alternating burst.

1. Images for constant brightness on the entire screen (tida no hum, etc..)
2. Color picture tube for setting a good white (white-D).
3. Limitation of fire flow on the color picture tube.
4. For the video recorder is ideal pattern for the current setting of writing (recording) luminance. This pattern can also to set the FM demodulator (setting white level).

# Beam Color (color)

Blocks of colors (color bar) consists of 8 vertical color bar standard and a reference beam horizontally. Beams 8 colors are arranged in order of depreciation luminan. From left to right beams D color is white, yellow, cyan, green, magenta, red, blue, and black.
This pattern is used to set the operational control of the receiver at the correct position.
Horizontal beam (white level) on the bottom of this pattern is used as a standard when setting the amplitude signal of color differences with relationships with luminan signal in the picture tube. Signals can be used for resetting the signal amplitude of the demodulator circuit and the matrix, as the output can be compared with the reference beam. In addition to the above purposes, this pattern can be used to check the overall color appearance. So can also be used checks and settings on the receiver or VCR:
1. Lock Inspection burst.
2. AGC examination of color and which create the color.
3. Inspection circuit reactance of the subcarrier regenerator.
4. Examination of the regenerator subcarrier synchronization.
5. Checking circuit identifier (identification) PAL.

Signal Synchronization
Synchronization signal is a signal that is always given periodically and remains, serves to drive a raster scanning path in every television set so that the formation of the video signal into an image and the exact arrangement will remain the same as the original position in the field of raste
camera (picture production), therefore the synchronization signal is always supplied along with the video signal sent anywhere. For the formation of this raster scanning system will require two kinds of synchronization are:

- Namely the horizontal synchronization signal to the horizontal scanning provided at each horizontal retrace.
- Vertical sync signal is for vertical scanning provided on each vertical retrace.

Video signal which is equipped with synchronization signals called the complete video signal (Composite Video signa / CVSl), while for color video signal is called Color Composite Video Signal (CCVS). Because the video signal has been added color information signals, ie signals and signal Burst Color Sub Carrier.

Introduction:

Amplitude modulation or AM as it is often called, is a form of modulation used for radio transmissions for broadcasting and two way radio communication applications. Although one of the earliest used forms of modulation it is still in widespread use today.

The first amplitude modulated signal was transmitted in 1901 by a Canadian engineer named Reginald Fessenden. He took a continuous spark transmission and placed a carbon microphone in the antenna lead. The sound waves impacting on the microphone varied its resistance and in turn this varied the intensity of the transmission. Although very crude, signals were audible over a distance of a few hundred metres, although there was a rasping sound caused by the spark.

With the introduction of continuous sine wave signals, transmissions improved significantly, and AM soon became the standard for voice transmissions. Nowadays, amplitude modulation, AM is used for audio broadcasting on the long medium and short wave bands, and for two way radio communication at VHF for aircraft. However as there now are more efficient and convenient methods of modulating a signal, its use is declining, although it will still be very many years before it is no longer used.

What is amplitude modulation?

In order that a radio signal can carry audio or other information for broadcasting or for two way radio communication, it must be modulated or changed in some way. Although there are a number of ways in which a radio signal may be modulated, one of the easiest, and one of the first methods to be used was to change its amplitude in line with variations of the sound.

The basic concept surrounding what is amplitude modulation, AM, is quite straightforward. The amplitude of the signal is changed in line with the instantaneous intensity of the sound. In this way the radio frequency signal has a representation of the sound wave superimposed in it. In view of the way the basic signal "carries" the sound or modulation, the radio frequency signal is often termed the "carrier".

Amplitude Modulation, AM

When a carrier is modulated in any way, further signals are created that carry the actual modulation information. It is found that when a carrier is amplitude modulated, further signals are generated above and below the main carrier. To see how this happens, take the example of a carrier on a frequency of 1 MHz which is modulated by a steady tone of 1 kHz.

The process of modulating a carrier is exactly the same as mixing two signals together, and as a result both sum and difference frequencies are produced. Therefore when a tone of 1 kHz is mixed with a carrier of 1 MHz, a "sum" frequency is produced at 1 MHz + 1 kHz, and a difference frequency is produced at 1 MHz - 1 kHz, i.e. 1 kHz above and below the carrier.

If the steady state tones are replaced with audio like that encountered with speech of music, these comprise many different frequencies and an audio spectrum with frequencies over a band of frequencies is seen. When modulated onto the carrier, these spectra are seen above and below the carrier.

It can be seen that if the top frequency that is modulated onto the carrier is 6 kHz, then the top spectra will extend to 6 kHz above and below the signal. In other words the bandwidth occupied by the AM signal is twice the maximum frequency of the signal that is used to modulated the carrier, i.e. it is twice the bandwidth of the audio signal to be carried.

How to emit (transmit) signal is amplitude modulated image similar to a radio broadcasting system that has been known. In both cases, the amplitude of a carrier wave radio frequency (RF) is made varies with the modulating voltage. Modulation is a signal of fundamental frequency (baseband). On television, this baseband signal is a composite video signal. Broadcast television is really such a radio system, but includes pictures and sound. Sound signal emitted by joining in it frequency modulation (FM) on a separate carrier wave transmitter in the same channel as the image signal.

Understanding the image signal is used here to mean a modulated carrier wave. The video signal is a signal to a picture tube. Video signal to the television audio signal corresponds to the sound system. Details are clearer than the image signal AM (amplitude modulation picture) and an FM voice signal.

Figure 2.a shows the frequency spectrum of video transmission that produces an image signal comprising AM picture carrier frequency (center frequency) and sound carrier frequencies (frequency side of the upper and lower side frequencies) - without VSB, while Figure 2b shows the frequency spectrum in transmission generate video image signals of AM frequencies only have the upper side only (with VSB).

3. ON the instrument.
4. Measure the output video modulator (RF) using the Spectrum Analyzer and observe the frequency spectrum.
5. Image of the frequency spectrum.
6. Determine how much an image carrier frequency, carrier frequency sounds, and the difference frequency picture carrier and sound carrier frequency.
7. Observe the spectrum, determine the type of modulation used in transmission, by way of changing the freq. SPAN (skala diperkecil). SPAN (reduced scale).
8. Figure spktrum frequencies multiples of the base frequency. 

Question:

• What system is used in the video modulator?
• From step 6, how to know what types of modulation?

Data Analysis:

1.    Viewed from the image spectrum that we get can we know that the value of experiment such as::
Carrier frequency: 206 MHz
CP1ΔF - 29,6 MHz
Then:
LSB = 206 MHz – 29,6 MHz= 176,4MHz
USB = 206 MHz + 29,6 MHz= 235,6 MHz

Voice carrier frequency: can not be seen because of the frequency spectrum analyzer with extremely small compared with the frequency carrier

2.    For frequencies multiples:
Frequency of multiples of  picture 1 in: 206 MHz
Frequency of multiples of  picture 2 in: 200 MHz

Frequency of multiples of  picture 3 in: 213 MHz

Answer Question:

1. Modulation system used in the video are amplitude modulation, because the signal amplitude information affect the amplitude of the carrier signal, the signal information into the cover of the carrier signal.                                                                                             Image Signal modulated 
                  A common use of signal Am is: AM radio broadcasting is widely used for broadcast AM radio wave signal, the TV picture (Video), Radio communication: aircraft, amateur radio (SSB), CB radio (Citizens Band Radio). Digital data transmission: Modems Computers (combination with QAM modulation)

2. Known types of modulation are amplitude modulation can be seen from the changes in amplitude and has a spectrum of AM.
   Based on the equation of the spectrum signal modulated AM. Amplitude modulation will have 3 (three frequencies):
   • Fc : carrier frequency signal
   • LSB: Lower Side Band frequency (LSB), namely the difference frequency carrier signal and the signal information.
   • USB: Upper Side Band frequency (USB) is the number of carrier signal frequency and signal information. 

Conclusion:

1. In a video modulator that is used is amplitude modulation Modulation (AM)
   
2. Amplitudo modulation is shown on a spectrum analyzer displays the three frequencies namely:

Ø  Carrier Frequency

Ø  Frequency of Lower Side Band (LSB), the difference frequency carrier signal and the signal information.

Ø  Frequency of Upper Side Band (USB), the number of carrier signal frequency and signal information.

3. The difference between USB and LSB frequencies are = 59,6 MHz
4.  Bandwidth in used in this experiment is 300 KHz bandwidth
