Main Features

This adapter can be attached to the GY-HM790 series GY-HM790CHU/GY-HM790U/ GY-HM790CHE/GY-HM790E for it to be used as a HD/SD studio camera.

Analog 26-pin Camera Connector

By connecting to a Remote Control Unit (RM-HP250AU/RM-HP250DE : sold separately), this adapter can be controlled from up to a distance of 100 m away. In this case, power is supplied to the camera by the remote control unit, and thus a separate power supply is not needed for the camera. Also, you can choose to supply power from the battery using the [POWER SELECT] switch. Composite signals and Y/PB/PR component signals are output from the 26-pin camera connector.

Intercom Terminal

Using a headset enables communication with the remote control unit operator.

Prompter Output Terminal

Outputs prompter video from the remote control unit as composite signals.
