Connection

1

While the power supply of the camera
recorder is turned off, connect the RCU 10­pin connector of the camera recorder to the
unit with the connection cable.
If settings are made from the camera menu,
set the frequency to the frame frequency of
the camera recorder and connect an NTSC
or PAL monitor.

2 After turning on the camera recorder power,

turn the unit power on.

System configuration

<Notes>

z The frame frequency of the camera recorder

must be switched before connecting the unit to
the camera recorder.
At VIDEO output, NTSC signals are output for
60 Hz operation, while PAL signals are output
for 50 Hz operation.

z The settings for FUNC on the menu determine

whether the camera recorder’s settings, which
are adjusted when the unit is connected, are
returned to the settings before connecting the
unit or to the state after adjustment, when the
unit is disconnected from the camera recorder.

z Do not forcefully pull the connected cable.

When the camera recorder is used while it is
being moved, the cable must be fixed to the
tripod or the handle of the camera recorder so
that no force is applied directly to the
connector.

Basic operation (Continued)

Operation of the camera using the unit volume

When the lamp of the PANEL ACTIVE button is
on, operations of the M.PED volume and the
IRIS volume are enabled. When the lamp of the
AUTO IRIS button is on, the IRIS volume
functions as the volume for setting the target
value of the auto iris. When the lamp of the VR
ACTIVE button is on, operations of the GAIN
volume and the BLACK volume are enabled.
In the unit menu, it is possible to select whether
the GAIN volume and the BLACK volume are
operated in the absolute value mode or the
relative value mode.

<Notes>

z In the relative value mode, the value will not

change when the volume operation is enabled,
but it will change by the amount that the
volume turned from the position when the
volume operation was enabled.
In the absolute value mode, the value will be
fixed according to the position of the volume
when the volume operation was enabled, and
the value for the center click is 0.

executes, the lamp of the VR ACTIVE button
turns off, and the volume operation is
disabled.
When executing the AWB, the GAIN set value
will be “0” if the AWB OFFSET is set to OFF,
while the GAIN set value is retained if the
AWB OFFSET is set to ON.
When the relative value mode and the
absolute value mode are switched, the lamp
of the VR ACTIVE button turns off and the
volume operation is disabled. (The GAIN
value is unchanged.)

2) BLACK volume

This functions as an adjustment volume for
the flare (FLR) or the pedestal (PED) selected
in the BLACK-VR-CONTROL on the unit
menu.
If the auto black balance (ABB) is executed
while the pedestal is selected, the lamp of the
VR ACTIVE button turns off, and the volume
operation is disabled.
In this case, if the PEDESTAL OFFSET of the

When the volume operation is enabled, the
unit operates in the absolute value mode
where the value is fixed in accordance with
the position of the volume. The value will be
“0” by clicking the center.
The variable amount is within a range
between the minimum value of –200 and the
maximum value of +200 with the center value
of 0.

Operation of the scene file

The unit has five sets of scene files and is
capable to storing the current settings as a scene
file or loading the stored settings.
It is also possible to store/call scene files using
the SD memory card. For details, refer to
“Saving/Loading of scene files onto the SD
memory card” (page 21).

1) Operation of the scene file

When the lamp of the RECORDER ENABLE
button is off, the scene files are operated
using the seven buttons on the top right side
of the unit.

Storing: Select a file number to store using

buttons 1 to 5 (blue letters). When
the button is pressed, the button
lamp will flash. If the SAVE (blue
letters) button is pressed in this
state, the SAVE button lamp will
also flash. To store the file, press
the SAVE button again. When the
store operation is finished, the
lamp of the button for the stored file
number turns on.
When the lamps for buttons 1 to 5
are flashing, press the button or
leave for 10 seconds or more to
release the selection.

Loading: Select a file number to load using

buttons 1 to 5 (blue letters). When
the button is pressed, the button
lamp will flash. If the LOAD button
is pressed in this state, the
selected file will load. At this time,
the lamp of the VR ACTIVE button
flashes, the operation mode of the
volume set in the unit menu is
ignored, and the unit is in the
relative value mode.

E-19

Basic operation (Continued)

<Notes>

z If a scene file is loaded while the volume

operation mode is set to the absolute value
mode, and then the VR ACTIVE button is
operated, the set value will correspond to
the volume angle and the loaded value will
be lost.
If you want to operate the volume from the
value loaded in the scene file, operate the
unit while the VR ACTIVE button lamp is
flashing or the operation modes of the
volumes for WHITE and BLACK are set to
the relative value mode before operating
the VR ACTIVE button.

z When a scene file is stored or loaded, the

button lamps for the file numbers of the files
stored or loaded and the LOAD button is
turned on. Press the LOAD button to turn
the button lamp off. When the camera
menu is opened or the scene file data is
loaded from the SD memory card, the
lamps for both of the File No. button and
the LOAD button turn off.

z When the camera menu is open,

operations of the scene file are disabled.

2) Items stored in the scene file

Refer to the Menu item Files for storing are
checked with a “Yes” Since the same operation
applies to storing on the SD memory card, when
a scene file stored in a specific unit of the remote
controller is used for another unit of the remote
controller, load data from the scene file from the
specific unit and store on an SD memory card,
and then read them out from the card and store
them in the scene file of the other unit.

<Note>

Do not turn off the power when a scene file is
being stored. Otherwise, data in the scene file
may be corupted.

<Reference>

It is possible to adjust the scene file setting of the
unit to the same state as the factory setting for
the camera recorder using the following
procedure.
However, the settings that cannot be set with the
unit cannot be set to the same state.

1 Set the settings for the camera recorder to

the factory settings. For details, refer to the
operation manual of the camera recorder.

2 Connect the unit to the camera recorder.

Settings for the unit will be imported from the
camera recorder.

3 Execute RCU-FACTORY on the SYSTEM

menu of the unit.

4 Store the settings on the unit to scene files 1

to 5 of the unit or an SD memory card.

Operation for recording

If the RECORDER ENABLE button is pressed to
switch to the recorder mode, operations of the
camera recorder are enabled.
If the REC INH button lamp is on, the REC S/S
button on the unit will be inhibited. To start and
stop recording, turn off the lamp of the REC INH
button by pressing the button, and start and stop
recording using the REC S/S button.

<Notes>

z While the REC INH button lamp is on, REC S/

S button operations are inhibited.

z If the RECORDER ENABLE button lamp turns

off by pressing the button while the recording
part is operated, the state of the recording
before turning off the lamp is retained and it is
possible to operate the scene file built into the
unit.

z It is possible to set whether the value adjusted

on the unit is retained on the camera recorder
or not, by using RC-DATA-SAVE in the FUNC
menu of the unit.

Connection cable

A 10 m connection cable is attached to the unit. To extend the cable, use the optional dedicated cable.
If several 10 m cables are connected in tandem, the power supply may be unstable due to voltage
drops etc.
In an emergency, apply a higher voltage within a range from 11 V to 17 V for the power supply of DC 12
V to the camera recorder. If the input voltage to the unit is 8 V or less, operation becomes unstable.
Refer to the following. A twisted-pair cable must be used for the control line of the 10-pin cable.
Attenuation of the coaxial cable must be set to around –6 dB at maximum in 10 MHz.
