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.
