When the lever or dial is operated, the DIRECTION menu item enables the operational direction of PAN, TILT, ZOOM,

FOCUS, IRIS or ROTATION to be set as the user desires.

PAN:

When NORMAL is selected, the pan/tilt head moves toward the left when the PAN/TILT lever is tilted to the

LEFT and toward the right when it is tilted to the RIGHT. When REVERSE is selected, the head moves in

the opposite direction.

TILT:

When NORMAL is selected, the pan/tilt head moves upward when the PAN/TILT lever is tilted toward UP

and down when it is tilted toward DOWN. When REVERSE is selected, the head moves in the opposite

direction.

ZOOM:

FOCUS:

IRIS:

When NORMAL is selected, the lens zoom moves toward the telephoto end when the ZOOM lever is tilted

toward TELE and toward the wide-angle end when it is tilted toward WIDE. When REVERSE is selected,

the zoom moves in the opposite direction.

When NORMAL is selected, the lens focus moves toward FAR when the FOCUS dial is turned clockwise

and toward NEAR when it is turned counterclockwise. When REVERSE is selected, the lens focus moves

in the opposite direction.

When NORMAL is selected, the lens iris moves toward open when the IRIS dial is turned clockwise and

toward closed when it is turned counterclockwise. When REVERSE is selected, the lens iris moves in the

opposite direction.

Cable Compensation Unit AW-RC400

Introduction

≥ The AW-RC400 is capable of providing cable

compensation for analog composite, analog Y/C or analog

component signals in five channels up to 500 meters

(when the BELDEN 8281 connecting cable or its

equivalent is used).

NOTE

≥ Input either sync signals to the sync signal input

connector on the AW-RC400 cable compensation unit

or input video signals to one of the video channels

(input composite signals or Y signals with sync to video

input connector 1). If neither of these signals is input,

the monitor selection will not be controlled.

≥ It features a 5µs advance function for the sync signals in

order to provide easy support for a system (another cable

compensation unit is required) in which the coaxial cable

connected between this AW-RC400 cable compensation

unit and the camera is longer than 500 meters.

≥ The AW-RC400 provides cable compensation for the

three Y, Pr and Pb signal channels by means of a

single control. This means that the Y, Pr and Pb signals

cannot be adjusted separately. In the same way, the Y

and C signals cannot be adjusted separately.

≥ The AW-RC400 is a cable compensation unit and, as

such, it does not come with signal conversion functions

(for converting component signals into composite

signals, for instance).

≥ When the cable compensation unit is to be discarded at

the end of its service life, ask a specialized contractor

to dispose of it properly in order to protect the

environment.

1Power LED

7DC 12V IN socket

This lights up green when the (2) POWER switch is set

to ON while a DC 12V voltage is supplied to the (7) DC

12V IN socket.

This is the power input socket. Connect the AW-PS301 AC

adaptor (sold separately) here.

8MONI SEL IN connector

2POWER switch

Control signals for selecting the video signals output to

the MONITOR1 or 2 connector are supplied to this

connector. Connect it to the MONI SEL OUT connector

on AW-RP400 pan/tilt control panel using a 10BASE-T

straight cable (equivalent to UTP category 5). It is then

possible to output the video signals of the camera

selected by the AW-RP400 or the AW-CB400 remote

operation panel which is connected to the AW-RP400, to

the MONITOR1 or MONITOR2 connector.

Set this to ON to turn on the cable compensation unit’s

power. Part of the power supply circuitry will still operate

even when the power switch is at the OFF position. To

turn off the power completely, disconnect the AC adaptor.

3Cable length setting switches [0 to 5]

Set these switches according to the length of the coaxial

cable connected. [0] is used to provide the minimum

amount of cable compensation, and [5] the maximum

amount. As a general guideline, set to [1] if the coaxial

cable is 100 meters long, and [2] if it is 200 meters long.

9G/L IN connectors

The sync signals (black burst signals) are input here.

These connectors are automatically terminated internally

by a 75-ohm resistance. The top and bottom connectors

have the same specifications, and the signals can be

connected to either one. The termination is released if

BNC cables are connected to both input connectors

(when they are used in a loop-through configuration).

4Y LEVEL control

Use this to adjust the output level of the cable

compensation output signals (video output).

5F RESPONSE control

Use this to adjust the amount of cable compensation

(frequency response compensation) for the cable

compensation output signals.

:G/L OUT connectors [1 to 5]

The genlock signals supplied to the G/L IN connector can

be distributed and output to five cameras.

Use sync signal outputs 1 to 5 to correspond to video

signal channels 1 to 5.

The signals of sync signal output connector 1 are

supplied to the camera connected to video input

connector 1.

6SHORT/LONG selector switch

This is normally used at the SHORT position. Set it to

LONG if the coaxial cable from the camera is a long one

and the camera’s sync adjustment range is insufficient, or

if the cable compensation unit is used as part of a system

(another cable compensation unit is required) in which

the coaxial cable (BELDEN 8281 or equivalent)

connected to the camera is longer than 500 meters.

;MONITOR1, 2 connectors

BAC adaptor storage space

The video signals of the cameras selected by the

AW-RP400 pan/tilt control panel or the AW-CB400

remote operation panel which is connected to the

AW-RP400 are output from these connectors.

The output signals are cable-compensated signals of the

same type as the input signals. For instance, if a channel

to which composite signals have been input is selected,

these composite signals will be cable-compensated and

output.

The AC adaptor can be stored here when the ambient

temperature in the location where the cable

compensation unit has been installed is under 86°F

(30°C). Remove the two screws, and remove the storage

space cover. Stow the AW-PS301 AC adaptor in such a

way that the pull-out cable will not be stressed. Trouble

will occur in the AC adaptor if the ambient temperature

exceeds 86°F (30°C), in which case it should not be

stored in the space.

<Y/VIDEO IN connectors [1 to 5]

CCable clamp

The analog video signals are input to these connectors.

They are terminated internally by a 75-ohm resistance.

Either Y (component signals or Y of the Y/C signals with

sync) or VIDEO (composite) signals are supplied.

This is used to clamp the cable of the AW-PS301 AC

adaptor in place and prevent it from coming loose.

=Pr/C IN connectors [1 to 5]

The analog video signals are input to these connectors.

They are terminated internally by a 75-ohm resistance.

Either Pr (R-Y among the component signals) or C (C of

the Y/C signals) signals are supplied.

>Pb IN connectors [1 to 5]

The analog video signals are input to these connectors.

They are terminated internally by a 75-ohm resistance.

The Pb (B-Y among the component signals) signals are

supplied.

?Y/VIDEO OUT connectors [1 to 5]

The analog video signals are output from these

connectors. Cable-compensated Y or VIDEO (composite)

signals that are in accordance with the input signals are

output. Y signals are output if component Y signals have

been input to the Y/VIDEO IN connectors

[1 to 5], and composite signals are output if composite

signals have been input.

@Pr/C OUT connectors [1 to 5]

The analog video signals are output from these

connectors. Cable-compensated Pr or C signals that are

in accordance with the input signals are output.

Pr signals are output if Pr signals have been input to the

Pr/C IN connectors [1 to 5], and C signals are output if C

signals have been input.

APb OUT connectors [1 to 5]

The analog video signals are output from these

connectors. Cable-compensated Pb signals are output if

Pb signals have been input to the Pb IN connectors

[1 to 5].

waveforms, set the cable length setting switch at the point where the undershoot and overshoot are kept to the minimum.

At this time, keep the Y LEVEL control and F RESPONSE control at their center positions.

3 Turn the F RESPONSE control, and adjust in such a way that the undershoot and overshoot of the waveforms in the rise

and fall sections are kept to the minimum. If the adjustment range of the control is exceeded, see if another setting can be

selected for the cable length setting switch.

4 Next, use the Y LEVEL control to obtain the prescribed video level.

5 With component signals, while observing the Y signal on the waveform monitor in the same way as with the composite

signals, use the cable length setting switch, F RESPONSE control and Y LEVEL control to adjust the cable compensation

in such a way that the prescribed video signals are obtained.

6 Next, view the Y, Pr and Pb signals in their entirety, and re-adjust the F RESPONSE control and Y LEVEL control in such

a way that the optimum cable compensation is provided.

7 With Y/C signals as well, first adjust the Y signal in the same way as with the component signals, view both the Y and C

signals, and adjust in such a way that the optimum cable compensation is provided.

Operating procedures

3 Press the START POINT button.

The lamps of the buttons among TRACING MEMORY buttons 1 to 10 where data can be registered now light.

≥ The lamps of the buttons with numbers exceeding the number of memories set by the MEMORY LENGTH menu setting

do not light.

≥ If the lamp of any button among the number of memories in which data can be set is off, it means that data has already

been registered in the button. When registering data in such a button, delete the existing data in its memory first.

4 Press the number of the button in which the data is to be registered.

Only the lamp of the button pressed now lights, and START button flashes. The pan/tilt head position and camera settings

prevailing at this time are recorded as the start position of the tracing memory.

≥ When the STOP button is now operated, the registration of the tracing memory data is canceled.

5 Press the START button.

The lamp of the START button stops flashing and goes off, then the recording standby mode is established.

≥ If the STOP button is now operated, the registration of the tracing memory data is canceled.

6 Since tracing memory recording starts at the point where the PAN, TILT, ZOOM or FOCUS control is operated, proceed

to register the data.

The lamp of the START button stops flashing, and the lamp of the STOP button starts flashing. As a general rule, the time

which can be stored in the memory is about 6 seconds for each of the PRESET MEMORY buttons No.1 to 10 and about

60 seconds for each of the PRESET MEMORY buttons No.11 to 30.

Starting with the No.10 button, the button lamps go off every 6 seconds to indicate the remaining time for recording in the

memory. When the lamps of all the buttons have gone off, the buzzer sounds, and the registration of the tracing memory

data is ended.

≥ To suspend the recording of the tracing memory data at any time, press the STOP button.
