Introduction  
Installing the SDI card in a convertible  
camera (such as the AW-Eꢀ50, AW-E650,  
AW-E655, AW-E750 and AW-E860) and  
mounting the camera on the interface  
bracket makes it possible for a viewfinder  
and/or inter-communications headset to  
be used and thus enable the camera to  
be used as a studio camera. In addition,  
there are two signal outputs for SDI signals  
Notes  
The AW-PB506A cannot be installed  
to the following models;  
AW-Eꢀ00, AW-Eꢀ00A, AW-Eꢀ00S,  
AW-E600, AW-E800, AW-E800A,  
AW-RP605, AW-PB605  
When the SDI card 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.  
c
ompliant with EBU Tech.ꢀꢁ67-E standard.  
Characteristics  
Two signal outputs for SDI signals  
compliant with the EBU Tech.ꢀꢁ67-E  
standard (BBC No. PSF1/ꢁM, BELDEN  
8ꢁ81 or equivalent coaxial cable; max.  
ꢁ00 m)  
EDH (Error Detection and Handling)  
flags complying with the SMPTE RP165  
standard can be added.  
Output signals (brightness and  
composite video signals) to the  
viewfinder can be switched using the  
menu settings.  
Zebra pattern and safety zone displays  
appearing in the viewfinder can be  
switched using the menu settings.  
(A switch can be used to enable or  
disable the addition of these flags.)  
The VIDEO ON/OFF switch function of  
the viewfinder (AW-VF64) is incorporated.  
(In order to prevent CRT burn-in, the  
AW-VF64 does not come with a standby  
function.)  
An inter-communications headset can be  
used and its volume adjusted.  
The STANDBY/ON switch function of  
the viewfinder (WV-VF65B, AW-VF80) is  
incorporated.  
Precautions for use  
When connecting or disconnecting a  
cable from any unit, ensure that the  
power to that unit is turned off.  
Avoid using the unit in very humid or  
dusty locations, as this may cause it to  
malfunction.  
Do not drop this product or subject it to  
strong shock or vibration, as this may  
cause it to malfunction.  
Avoid using the product at a cold place  
below –10°C or at a hot place above  
+45°C because extremely low or high  
temperature will adversely affect the  
parts inside.
