Setting the VTR selector switch on the camera adaptor

When using the camera with a CA-537/537P/327/327P Camera Adaptor, it is essential to correctly set the VTR selector switch on the camera adaptor according to the VTR connected. This switch determines the type of video signal output from the VTR/CCU/CMA connector and the audio output signal level.

Camera cable

•Select a camera cable to fit the camera input connector on the VTR you are using.

•The maximum camera cable extent is 10 m (33 ft).

For details, consult your Sony dealer.

When using a number of cameras in the studio, it may be necessary to use a CCU-M5/M5P/M7/M7P Camera Control Unit to provide video and color sync between cameras, and special effects and other devices to allow switching, wipes and so forth.

In the studio it may also be convenient to use a DXF- 41/51 Viewfinder.

The figure in the next page shows an example studio configuration.

For details, consult your Sony dealer.

Notes

•When using a camera control unit, put the camera head into the EZ mode off state beforehand (see page 14). (Otherwise, it is impossible to access the advanced menu.)

•With the DXC-D35/D35P/D35WSL/D35WSPL, color matrix switching on the CCU-M5/M5P is invalid.

•When the DL in advanced menu page 2 is set to ON (see page 64) and the OUTPUT/DL/DCC+ switch is set to DL, knee adjustment does not function on the CCU-M7/M7P.
