NCAMERA CONTROL IN FROM RCB [P1] to [P5] connectors

Connect the WV-CB700A remote control boxes to these connectors.

The cameras installed on the pan/tilt heads corresponding to the ports where the WV-CB700A boxes have been connected can then be controlled.

When even one WV-CB700A box is connected, the cameras cannot be controlled from the AW-CB400 remote operation panel even if the AW-CB400 is connected.

Use the accessory plug (D-SUB 15-pin) to connect the tally/INCOM signals to the system.

Connect a 4-wire INCOM system to the INCOM connector.

When an additional control panel has been provided or when the AW-CB400 remote operation panel has been connected, the tally or INCOM function of all the units will take effect if tally or INCOM signals are connected to one of the units.
