Why does my Ikegami MKC-X800 CCD Cameras screen show color bars when the color bar button is off?

  Matthew NelsonAug 6, 2025
  The Ikegami CCD Cameras device automatically displays color bars when the camera head and CCU are unable to communicate correctly. This indicates a communication issue, not a malfunction. To resolve this, turn off the power switch and verify the camera cable connection, ensuring it is firmly inserted and tightened at the camera head. If the issue persists, replace the camera cable. If the problem continues after these steps, further professional examination is needed, so contact the sales representative and return the device.

  Matthew RamirezAug 13, 2025
  If the screen on your Ikegami CCD Cameras suddenly turns black, there are a few potential causes. First, check the output cable connection. If the problem persists, replace the output cable. If the issue still isn't resolved, check the lights on the front panel switch. If all lights are off, it could be due to thermal runaway, possibly from operating the device outside of recommended temperature and humidity conditions for an extended period. In this case, immediately turn off the power and ensure operating conditions are appropriate before restarting. If the lights are on, professional examination is needed, so contact a sales representative and return the device.
