Konica Minolta CA-100 CRT Color Analyzer
The Konica Minolta CRT Color Analyzer CA-100 is an easy-to-use instrument for white-balance adjustment on CRT production lines, with color measurement and analyzer functions plus data-communication capabilities.
The Konica Minolta CRT CA-100 Color Analyzer was
designed to upgrade the white-balance process on production lines for
color TV sets and computer color monitors in the CRT industry. The
multi-function Minolta CA-100 reduces the time required for white balance
adjustment and inspection, and provides numerical values for white-balance
control. It is even equipped with data-communication capabilities,
allowing it to become part of a computerized quality-control system or
even a fully automated production line. Continuing advances in consumer
televisions, such as higher reliability, higher image quality, larger
screens, and more features, plus the increased used of high-fidelity
computer color monitors in image-control applications, make the
color-reproduction characteristics of CRTs increasingly important.
To
ensure accurate color reproduction, white-balance adjustment must be
performed utilizing a high-accuracy, high-reliability instrument. With a variety of internal features
plus a wide range of optional accessories to provide additional functions,
the Konica Minolta CA-100 can be used to speed up white-balance adjustment and inspection
of many different kinds of CRTs. In addition, data communication and
measurement control can be performed via an RS-232C or GP-I6 system,
making it possible to use the Konica Minolta CA-100 on a fully automated production line.
Konica Minolta CA-100 Applications:
- White-balance adjustment and inspection on CRT production lines
- Quality control and shipping inspection by CRT manufacturers
- Receiving inspection of CRTs by computer manufacturers
Konica Minolta CA-100 Features:
- Wide luminance measurement range of 0.20 to 999cd/m2; (0.06 to 292 fL) allows measurement of virtually any CRT. Luminance units of cd/m2 or fL can be changed by the user
- Different memory channels (11 standard; expandable to 100 with optional card) can be used to store calibration values or standard colors for different CRT types. Each channel can be labeled with a 10-character ID name for easy identification
- Measurements can be displayed as xyY (colorimetric coordinates, luminance) or T 4uvY (correlated color temperature, color difference from blackbody locus, luminance) values. Measured values are displayed both digitally and on LED analog scales
- Range of LED analog display scales can be set by the user between 0.1 and 99%
- A standard RS-232C interface is built into the Konica CA-100 for outputting data to a separate computer or controlling the CA-100 from the computer
Any of four different synchronization modes can be selected to match the vertical scanning frequencies of different CRT systems
| Synch. Mode |

For measurements of PAL- or SECAM-system televisions (vertical scanning rate: 50 Hz) |
| EXT |
7 times/s (for 60 Hz synchronization signal) |
For measurements utilizing an external synchronization (vertical scanning rate: 40 to 90 Hz) |
| UNIV |
5 times/s |
For measurements of CRTs for which vertical scanning rate is uncertain and from which synchronization signal cannot be obtained |
