zzThe unit is equipped with an AWB button and ABB button for executing automatic adjustment of the white balance and black balance. Furthermore, there are dedicated dials for adjusting the pedestal and gain for each of the R channel and B channel. Manual color adjustment is also easy.

zzThe 1 to 50 number buttons and page buttons enable quick access operations at sites where presets are used frequently.

Also, the speed at which a remote camera moves to a preset position (PRESET SPEED) can be memorized for each preset number of the unit.
