(*1)≥ It enables the transmission of the signals of two audio channels.≥ It enables RET 1CH and PROMPT 1CH transmission.≥ It has a compact size equivalent to one-half of a rack unit.≥ It can also be operated using DC power.≥ It can perform the VTR operations of the camera recorder. (*2)Features*1 The power supply is subject to limitations. Consult your dealer when configuring the system.*2 During VTR playback operations (PLAY, FF or REW), the BS output pictures and sound will be switched to the playback mode. Under the current version,however, the images of the camera will be viewed since the playback board has not been installed. As far as the audio signals are concerned, the signalson the tape will be output from BS during VTR playback operations (PLAY, FF or REW): this means that care should be taken when the camera recorder’smicrophone is used.Bear in mind the following checkpoints when connecting the camera recorder to the unit’s system.1 Remember that if the power is turned on or off while the camera’s menu is open, the menu will appear on the viewfinder.2 When the unit is connected, the RET SW operations will be canceled on the camera’s REC/PB/RET menu.3 When connecting the unit to a camera recorder, do not supply the signals to the GENLOCK connector on the camera.4 The triax and ECU (extension control unit) cannot be used at the same time for the camera recorder.5 When the triax is connected, some of the settings (such as GAIN, CAM-BAR SW, WHITE BAL and SHUTTER) selected bythe switches on the camera recorder will not take effect.6 When the triax is connected, the composite video signals (CAM OUT, VIDEO OUT) of the camera recorder will be non-standard signals.Checkpoints for system connectionsContents
