Test meter for solving CCTV problems

June 2001 Surveillance

The Camera Master is a digital, handheld, battery-operated meter that measures five different characteristics of the video signal from a CCTV camera or other video source, namely:

* Sync: enables the camera to be set to the correct video output level.

* White: enables the camera Iris to be accurately adjusted to the correct brightness setting.

* Composite: measures overall level of the video signal.

* Colour burst: measures colour burst amplitude on the Back Porch of video.

* Focus: used to adjust camera for best focus on scene. Maximum meter reading occurs at sharpest focus.

The sync, white and composite amplitude measures the sync-to-white ratio and the overall video waveform amplitude on any part of an NTSC or PAL video system, including camera origination, video levels in distribution amplifiers, TV switchers, studios, microwave and satellite transmission systems.

The small size of the Camera Master enables it to be taken directly to the camera location, thus saving time and in many cases reducing test and installation manpower, making it an essential tool for all CCTV installers, system integrators or technicians.
