Cable Compensation Unit AW-RC400

Introduction

The AW-RC400 is capable of providing cable compensation for analog composite, analog Y/C or analog component signals in five channels up to 500 meters (when the BELDEN 8281 connecting cable or its equivalent is used).

It features a 5µs advance function for the sync signals in order to provide easy support for a system (another cable compensation unit is required) in which the coaxial cable connected between this AW-RC400 cable compensation unit and the camera is longer than 500 meters.

NOTE

Input either sync signals to the sync signal input connector on the AW-RC400 cable compensation unit or input video signals to one of the video channels (input composite signals or Y signals with sync to video input connector 1). If neither of these signals is input, the monitor selection will not be controlled.

The AW-RC400 provides cable compensation for the three Y, Pr and Pb signal channels by means of a single control. This means that the Y, Pr and Pb signals cannot be adjusted separately. In the same way, the Y and C signals cannot be adjusted separately.

The AW-RC400 is a cable compensation unit and, as such, it does not come with signal conversion functions (for converting component signals into composite signals, for instance).

When the cable compensation 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.
