    HD CCTV camera - OSD / Colour bars only ??

    Hi guys Ok. I fielded this camera yesterday. I was able to set it up in a very time cosuming way. Putting the camera up, recording the result and then changing the settings by taking it down and going back to the recording station. I did this 4-5 times and got it set up. The menu is available through the HD-sdi feed so I was ok. However i still only get bars on my field monitors through the sd fly off. Another problem is the IR lights on it only throw about 3-4 meters. They are meant to be godo for 50 !!! - I am speaking to everfocus about this. Luckilly I have other IR floods on the set. Mat

    Hi Tom I am plugging it into the test monitor via the SD test outlet ? I wouldn't expect it to work from HD-sdi, it's a digital HD signal. Mat

    Hi Soundy Indeed ! - The printed manual I have is pretty poor to be honest. It's obviously be translated using an electronic translator but you can just about make sense of it. What is the key question....why am I only getting colour bars ? This is on both cameras. It's just really odd and I'm meant to be fielding the camera today and theres no Everfocus support until tomorrow.

    Thanks for your responses. Yep the joystick at the back and the plug in mini lead is what I'm refering too. It says in the manual all setup can be done through this in SD. Which makes sense for pre-setting the camera before field install !?

    Surely its just an SD out ? - It should work on any handheld monitor. It says in the manual its for connection to field monitors for camera set-up. Why should it need to be an Everfocus unit ? Do you know why its just showing bars? Cheers Mat

    Hi and thanks for your response. I've connected to a number of different things. A small mini DVR, a field monitor and larage TV. The problem is I can't get anything other than colour bars. I should be able to navigate the menu of the camera and set it up should I not ? Essentially the OSD fly off cable is just an SD out no ? So how do I move on from the colour bars? The cameras are going to be used in a set-up for a TV programme I'm working on. (Going into a high power Mac setup with Black Magic sd-hdi recording)
  9. Hi Guys I'm hoping someone can help me from tearing my hair out. I have two cameras (Everfocus HD CCTV). When I try and set them up with a small SD monitor (I've tried three different monitors) all I get is a colour bar signal. Which ever way I click or hold the joystick control it still won't move from colour bars. This is the camera. http://uk.everfocus.com/product.cfm?productid=1640 Anyone help out at all ??? This is killing me !! Many thanks Mat
