FTALLY OFF/ON switch [TALLY]

When this is set to ON, the tally lamp is lighted by the selected signals. When it is set to OFF, the (6) tally lamp will not light even if the selected signals are supplied.

CLENS I/F (1) connector [LENS I/F (1)]

This is used to control the zooming and focusing of the motorized lens unit. Use the motorized lens unit’s remote (zoom/focus) control cable to make the connection.

DCAMERA I/F connector [CAMERA I/F]

This is used for the control of the convertible camera. Use the camera cable supplied with the AW-PH400 to connect the connector with the REMOTE connector on the camera.

Depending on the functions of the optional card, a special camera cable (sold separately) is required.

GCONTROL IN IP/RP connector [IP/RP]

This is the connector for the control of signals of the camera and pan/tilt head.

It is connected to the CONTROL OUT TO PAN/TILT connector on the AW-RP400 pan/tilt control panel.

Use a 10BASE-T (equivalent to UTP category 5) straight cable for the connecting cable.

HVIDEO connector [VIDEO]

This the output connector for the camera’s video signals. It is connected to the Y/VIDEO connector on the AW-RC400 cable compensation unit or monitor, etc. Use a BNC coaxial cable for the connecting cable.

ICABLE COMP OFF/ON switch [CABLE COMP]

When this is set to ON, signals which have been cable- compensated for the equivalent of 500 meters are output from the VIDEO connector and the Y, Pr and Pb connectors.

When this switch is used in conjunction with the AW-RC400 cable compensation unit, the video cable can be extended up to a maximum of 1000 meters.
