1Power LED

This lights up green when the (2) POWER switch is set to ON while a DC 12V voltage is supplied to the (7) DC 12V IN socket.

2POWER switch

Set this to ON to turn on the cable compensation unit’s power. Part of the power supply circuitry will still operate even when the power switch is at the OFF position. To turn off the power completely, disconnect the AC adaptor.

3Cable length setting switches [0 to 5]

Set these switches according to the length of the coaxial cable connected. [0] is used to provide the minimum amount of cable compensation, and [5] the maximum amount. As a general guideline, set to [1] if the coaxial cable is 100 meters long, and [2] if it is 200 meters long.

4Y LEVEL control

Use this to adjust the output level of the cable compensation output signals (video output).

5F RESPONSE control

Use this to adjust the amount of cable compensation (frequency response compensation) for the cable compensation output signals.

6SHORT/LONG selector switch

This is normally used at the SHORT position. Set it to LONG if the coaxial cable from the camera is a long one and the camera’s sync adjustment range is insufficient, or if the cable compensation unit is used as part of a system (another cable compensation unit is required) in which the coaxial cable (BELDEN 8281 or equivalent) connected to the camera is longer than 500 meters.

7DC 12V IN socket

This is the power input socket. Connect the AW-PS301 AC adaptor (sold separately) here.

8MONI SEL IN connector

Control signals for selecting the video signals output to the MONITOR1 or 2 connector are supplied to this connector. Connect it to the MONI SEL OUT connector on AW-RP400 pan/tilt control panel using a 10BASE-T straight cable (equivalent to UTP category 5). It is then possible to output the video signals of the camera selected by the AW-RP400 or the AW-CB400 remote operation panel which is connected to the AW-RP400, to the MONITOR1 or MONITOR2 connector.

9G/L IN connectors

The sync signals (black burst signals) are input here. These connectors are automatically terminated internally by a 75-ohm resistance. The top and bottom connectors have the same specifications, and the signals can be connected to either one. The termination is released if BNC cables are connected to both input connectors (when they are used in a loop-through configuration).

:G/L OUT connectors [1 to 5]

The genlock signals supplied to the G/L IN connector can be distributed and output to five cameras.

Use sync signal outputs 1 to 5 to correspond to video signal channels 1 to 5.

The signals of sync signal output connector 1 are supplied to the camera connected to video input connector 1.
