Panasonic AW-PB506AL manual Introduction, Characteristics, Precautions for use

Introduction

Installing the SDI card in a convertible camera (such as the AW-E350, AW-E650, AW-E655, AW-E750 and AW-E860) and mounting the camera on the interface bracket makes it possible for a viewfinder and/or inter-communications headset to be used and thus enable the camera to be used as a studio camera. In addition, there are two signal outputs for SDI signals compliant with EBU Tech.3267-E standard.

Notes

The AW-PB506A cannot be installed to the following models; AW-E300, AW-E300A, AW-E300S, AW-E600, AW-E800, AW-E800A, AW-RP605, AW-PB605

When the SDI card unit is to be discarded at the end of its service life, ask a specialized contractor to dispose of it properly in order to protect the environment.
