QFrame Sync Switch [FS ON/OFF]

This sets the frame synchronizer to ON or OFF.

ON: The asynchronous 5 input signal can be connected. A delay of up to one frame is generated in the switcher output. Due to what is involved in the signal processing, the signal band is narrower than at the OFF position.

OFF: The input signal source must be synchronized with the system. Use the switcher's black burst signal output to apply genlock to the camera or other device. In this case, perform the phase (horizontal phase, colour phase) adjustments for the

RBus Selector Switch [BUS A/B /F.F.]

ENGLISH

F.F.: Set here when undertaking bus operations using the flip-flop system.

This selects the bus switching system.

 

A/B: Set here when undertaking bus operations using the A/B bus system.

 

LDC Power Input Terminal [DC 12V IN]

 

 

Apply 12-V DC power. (Use the AC adaptor AW-PS505.)

 

The AW-CA4T1 cable (sold separately) is required.

 

 

 

 

 

Caution

 

 

If you are using other power supply, make sure that it outputs 12 V DC, 2.5 A or more.

 

The plug has GND on the inside and +12 V outside. (Be careful of the positive and

 

negative polarities.)

:Tally/Intercom Connectors [TALLY & INCOM 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Use these jacks to connect the Live Switcher to the tally/intercom connectors on a camera control unit, for example, WV-RC700A or WV-RC550, for tally control and intercom communication. Tally control is based on open collector output. These connectors are compatible with either the 3-wire or 4-wire type of intercoms, selectable with Setup

genlock at the connected device. In this mode, analogue processing is performed internally, and there is virtually no deterioration in the image quality.

WGenlock input/Black burst output setting [GLIN/BBOUT]

This sets the input or output for the GLIN/BBOUT Connector D.

GLIN: Set here when genlocking the switcher with an external sync signal. GLIN/BBOUT D now serves as an input connector, and an external sync signal can be connected.

BBOUT: Set here when configuring a system based on the synchronization to the switcher. GLIN/BBOUT D now serves as an output connector, and a black

The 3-wire or 4-wire type can be selected by setting the switch to the position appropriate to your system.

(Set the switch to the 3-wire position if you are using the WV-RC700A or WV-RC550.)

aCord Clamp

Used to clamp the cable connected to the DC power input terminal to prevent its disconnection. Once remove the screw, pass the cable, and retighten the screw till the cable is securely clamped.
