 1. Introduction
1-1. Overview
The SC-LFC56LDC is a highly efficient multi-functional portable test monitor
with LED backlight display panel of 5.6” wide display and with recording function.
With this device, you can easily adjust the camera focus and control the P/T/Z for
Speed Dome Cameras. And also you can record the video signal and play it as a
portable DVR. SC-LFC56LDC supports the camera OSD menu control feature (UP
THE COAX) which you can set Camera OSD menu via COAX communication or RS-
485 from the remote side.
Furthermore, the battery can be used in two ways: one for powering the test
monitor itself; the other for powering the camera when there is no wiring. Also it
provides Full Color Bar to check the video signal. With the LED backlight, the TFT-
LCD display shows Max. 640 x (RGB) x 480 resolution and the battery lasts up to 8
hours. The video level meter displays the brightness (A. level) and the color (F.
level) of the video signal numerically; this feature is useful when installers want to
check the camera and cabling status and adjust the video level of an UTP receiver.
Using this device, one sole installer can check every part of CCTV system alone by
reducing time and labor cost when installing and checking the CCTV system.

3-1-2-1. Level Meter Indicator

The Video Level Meter indicates the Sync and Burst Level of the CVBS video
signals in A. Level and F. Level respectively. It is useful when you want to adjust
accurately the A. level and F. level of the video from the video receiver over the
UTP cable and when you want to search the video deteriorated area.

- A. Level: It indicates the brightness of the video (Amplitude/Sync level) in

percentage. The more the level percentage is closed to 100%, the better is
the quality of the video. When the A. Level % is under 100%, it indicates that
the video signals are decreased and the brightness is reduced.

- F. Level: It indicates the color level of the video (Frequency/Burst level) in

percentage. The more the level percentage is closed to 100%, the better is
the quality of the video color and the resolution.
