1COMPOSITE VIDEO OUTPUT connectors (BNC)

Output analog composite video signals. The signal output to connector 3(SUPER) contains superimposed characters for time data or menu settings when on is selected with the ALT button and [F6] (CHARA SUPER) button in the TC menu.

2COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT connectors (BNC)

Accept analog component video signals (Y/R-Y/B-Y).

3COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUT connectors (BNC) and 75Ω termination switch (with optional BKDW-505 for DVW-A500/1 and 500/ 1, or BKDW-506 for DVW-A500P/1 and 500P/1)

Accepts analog composite video signal.

Set the 75Ω termination switch to OFF when this VTR is bridge-connected. Otherwise, set it to ON.

4REF.VIDEO INPUT connectors (BNC) and 75Ω termination switch

One of these connectors accepts a reference video signal. Use a video signal with chroma burst (BVS) or a black and white video signal (VS) as a reference video signal.

When making a bridge connection with a loop-through output, set the 75Ω termination switch to OFF. Otherwise, set it to ON.

5BREAKER button

Disconnects the primary circuit of the AC power transformer should an excessive current be detected.

6AC IN connector

Connects to an AC outlet using the power cord supplied with the VTR.

7COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT connectors (BNC)

Output analog component video signals (Y/R-Y/B-Y).

8SERIAL V/A (video/audio) OUTPUT connectors (BNC)

Output up to four (1 to 4) serial digital video/audio signal lines. The signal output to connector 4(SUPER) contains superimposed characters for time data or menu settings when on is selected with the ALT button and [F6] (CHARA SUPER) button in the TC menu.

9SERIAL V/A (video/audio) INPUT connectors (BNC)

The left connector accepts serial digital video/audio signals. When the VTR is powered on, the right connector serves as an active loop-through output to allow a bridge connection.

0AUDIO INPUT (AES/EBU) connectors (XLR-3-31)

Accept up to two lines (four channels: channels 1/2 and channels 3/4) of AES/EBU format digital audio signals.

!¡ AUDIO INPUT LEVEL/600Ω termination switches

Set according to the audio input level of each channel input to the ANALOG AUDIO INPUT connectors and the audio input impedance.

LOW with OFF:

Audio input level: –60 dBu (microphone input)

Audio input impedance: High (about 20 kΩ )

HIGH with OFF:

Audio input level: +4 dBu (line input)

Audio input impedance: High (about 20 kΩ )

HIGH with ON:

Audio input level: +4 dBm (line input)

Audio impedance: 600 Ω

!™ ANALOG AUDIO INPUT connectors (XLR-3-32)

Accept up to five analog audio signal lines (channels 1 to 4 and cue).

!£ ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT connectors (XLR-3-31)

Output up to five analog audio signal lines (channels 1 to 4 and cue).

!¢ CONTROL PANEL connector (15-pin)

Connects the control panel through the 15-pin cable supplied with the optional BKDW-510 Control Panel Extension Kit when using the control panel as a remote controller.
