Parts and their functions

Rear panel

Camera cable connector [CAMERA] (26-pin connector)

The camera’s cable (such as the AW-CA50A26) is connected here.

Contact-type pan/tilt head control connector

[PAN/TILT CONTROL IN] (D-SUB 15-pin connector)

This has the same shape as the tally/intercom input/ output connector. Take care not to confuse the two when connecting them.

A controller for controlling the lens (a lens with zoom and focus servo) and pan/tilt head (up, down, left, right, defroster, wiper, etc.) is connected here. (Only a contact-type controller can be connected.)

Pin No.

The optional board must be installed in the camera in order to use a contact-type pan/tilt head. For details, refer to the camera’s operating instructions.

When the control pins (#1 to #10) are connected to the COMM pin (#11), the control signals are sent from the RCU to the camera.

When the controller is to be fabricated, connect a resistor with a resistance of 1 to 10 kilohms (1/8 W or more) between the COMM pin and +5 V pin.

Ensure that both the LEFT and RIGHT pins are not connected to the COMM pin at the same time.

Similarly, do not connect both the UP and DOWN, FAR and NEAR or WIDE and TELE pins to the COMM pin at the same time.

Pins #12 to #15 are used when exercising lens control only. To do this, connect the controller’s FOCUS CONT pin to NEAR (pin #6) and its ZOOM CONT pin to WIDE (pin #8). (Normally, pins #12 to #15 are not used when exercising control by contacts.)

Gen-lock input/output connector [G/L IN/OUT]

(75-ohm automatic termination)

The external sync signals (black burst signals or composite signals) from another system are connected here.

Note:

The input signals must be connected to the BNC connector marked “IN” (75-ohm automatic termination). If it is connected to the BNC connector marked “OUT,” a high-impedance state will result, and the connector will not be terminated by the 75-ohm resistance.

AUX signal input/output connector

[AUX IN/OUT] (75-ohm automatic termination)

Connect the line view signals from a live switcher or other device here.

Note:

The input signals must be connected to the BNC connector marked “IN” (75-ohm automatic termination). If it is connected to the BNC connector marked “OUT,” a high-impedance state will result, and the connector will not be terminated by the 75-ohm resistance.
