one turn in the opposite direction to complete the adjustment. By
backing the beamsplitter off its stop, fine centering of the CCD tar-
get is maintained and the beamsplitter itself is less susceptive to resi-
dual shocks caused by a drop or sudden jolt.
Positioning the beamsplitter for video use - the adjusting screw
should be rotated counter-clockwise to move the glass in place.
Retracting the beamsplitter for non-video use - the adjusting screw
should be rotated clockwise to move the glass out of viewing area.
2.12.4 The Beamsplitter Axis Adjustment
The beamsplitter axis adjustment is used to recenter the CCD assist
image when switching between 16 and Super16 formats. If, when
you turn on the control unit, the image on your monitor appears off
to one side, the angle of the beamsplitter must be adjusted.
The beamsplitter axis adjustment is located to the above/right of the
aperture and consists of an allen screw within a slot (see diagram on
the following page). A red dot to the upper left of the slot indicates
the position of the screw for Super16.
Loosen the allen screw one turn; while looking at the monitor move
the screw within the slot in the appropriate direction until the image
of the screen is centered. Afterwards, if the image is not sharp, fol-
low the directions under 2.12.17 Installing the CCD Head to adjust
focus.
