JVC RM-P210 manual Features, Provided Accessories and Documents, Precautions for Proper USE

INTRODUCTION

FEATURES

Cable extension up to 100 meters

The cable between the camera and the RM-P210 Remote Control Unit can be extended up to 100 meters using the optional VC-P110 series camera cables. Even when the cable is extended, the power to the camera is supplied from the RM-P210 so there is no need to provide a separate power supply for the camera.

Genlock Function Built In

Genlocking is possible using a composite video (VBS) or a black burst (BB) signal. The SC and H phases can be ad- justed from the front panel.

Camera control using serial communication

The camera control signals are sent by the serial data trans- mission method.

The camera and the RM-P210 are connected by two data lines so that the CPUs incorporated in the camera and the RM-P210 are in intercommunication, thus facilitating accu- rate camera control operations.

Multiple output circuits

In addition to two composite video output circuits (VBS), the R/G/B component signals, Y/R-Y/B-Y component sig- nals or separate Y/C signals (for S-VHS VCR) can be se- lected according to the purpose or application.

PROVIDED ACCESSORIES AND DOCUMENTS

Power cord

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE

Do not supply power to the RTS terminals at the rear. These terminals are not designed to accept a power supply.

To prolong the service life of the RM-P210, do not use it or store it in the following places.

A place subject to extremely high or low temperatures.

A place subject to excessive vibration.

A place subject to excessive dust.

A place subject to high humidity.

A place near to a strong source of noise.

Do not apply strong vibrations or impact to the RM-P210during installation or transportation.

If the supply voltage is too high or low, the service life of the RM-P210may be reduced or it may not be able to provide an optimum performance.

Do not connect or disconnect the camera cable connector while the RM-P210is ON.

After turning the RM-210 OFF, wait at least 10 seconds before turning it ON again.

Noise may interfere with the video when the RM-210 is in- stalled near a source of strong magnetism, such as a radio or TV transmitting antenna, power transformer or motor.

While the values set by using the menus are retained in the memory even after the unit is turned off, those set using the front panel switches and controls are retained for about 10 days only and then the factory-set defaults are reset.

As the LCD contrast is reduced at low temperatures, it should be re-adjusted before use in such conditions.

REF. : Item “6A: CONTRAST” on page 26.

When a transceiver or cellular phone is used near to a RM- 210 or to a camera connected to it, noise may interfere with the video. However, this is not a malfunction.

Instructions

When an intercom is used, radio interference may occa- sionally affect any system that is connected to the RM-P210. In such a case the INTERCOM G (GND) terminal provided to the RM-P210 should be grounded.

In a multiple camera setup, if the adjustments made to the different cameras deviate significantly, the cameras may not be able to function satisfactorily. Be sure to adjust the cam- eras accordingly before using them with the RM-P210.

Use camera cables with standard lengths, as specified. Otherwise, the camera cable compensation may not be able to work efficiently.

The RM-P210 can be connected with the following cameras:

●GY-DV550

●KY-D29

●KY-D29W

●KY-27C

●KY-19

For the viewfinder to be used with each camera model, see page 8. The controllable functions vary depending on the camera model.

REF. : "Functions Available Depending on Camera

Models" on page 29.

When connecting the RM-P210 to the camera, do not con- nect a local remote controller to the camera.

If the RM-P210 is rack-mounted, be sure to insert venti- lated panels above and below it in order to improve ventila- tion. Do not stack two RM-P210 units or place any object on top of a RM-P210 unit.

To save power consumption, turn the RM-P210OFF when it is not in use.
