Parts and their functions
3 Camera selector switches [CAMERA]
These are used to select one camera and one CCU as the pair which is to be controlled by the MSU. A camera is selected by pressing the camera selector switch with the same number as the camera to be selected (its lamp will light). The selection is released by pressing the camera selector switch of the selected camera (its lamp will turn off). When a camera selector switch is pressed, the MSU settings (such as the switch lamp lighting and selection) are performed using the information on the settings for the camera concerned. The details of the functions given below apply when one or more camera selector switches have been selected.
4 MODE ON/OFF switches
These switches are for setting the camera operation modes. The modes corresponding to the switches with the lighted lamps are selected.

? Reference switch
Reference file call switch [REF]
If one camera has been selected by the camera selector switch, this switch is used to call the reference setting information (reference file) for that camera. A reference file can be changed by making the changes while calling the reference file and saving the changes.
How to call the data in a reference file
1 Use one of the camera selector switches to select the
camera whose reference file is to be called. If REF is now pressed, REF and SCENE FILE flash. If REF is pressed again for 3 seconds in this status, the call wait status is released. *1) If is pressed, the USER reference file is called. *2) If REF is pressed, the FACTORY reference file is
called.
2
When the reference file is loaded, the data remaining on the current scene file up until this moment will be lost.
Reference file storage switch [LOCAL STORE]
This is used to store the data in the current scene file of the targeted camera in the reference file of that camera.
How to store data in a reference file

camera whose data is to be called. If the LOCAL STORE switch is now pressed, the data is stored in USER1. If the LOCAL STORE and CALL switches are pressed, the data is stored in FACTORY.
2 When the data is stored in the reference file, the lamp
of the LOCAL STORE switch lights for approximately one second, after which it goes off.
Reference file all store switch [ALL STORE]
This is used to store the contents of the current file of the camera selected using one of the camera selector switches in the reference files of all the cameras connected to the MSU.
How to store data in all the reference files
1 Use one of the camera selector switches to select the
camera whose file is to be called.
2 Press the ALL STORE switch so that its lamp comes
on. The contents of the current scene file of the camera selected using the camera selector switch are stored in the reference files of that camera. Even if the lamps of the scene file switches are lighted, they will all go off. The lamp of the REF switch lights.
3 The contents of the current scene file of the camera
selected using the camera selector switch are stored in the reference files of all the cameras which have not been selected by the camera selector switches.
4 If the reference files are stored in all the camera
connected to the MSU without any problems, the lamp
of the ALL STORE switch goes off. If a problem is encountered in any of the cameras, the lamp of the ALL STORE switch flashes. When the camera selector switch concerned is selected, the lamp stops flashing and goes off.

Parts and their functions
B MONITOR
Monitor selector switches [R, G, B, SEQ, ENC MONITOR]
These are used to select what is to be displayed on the waveform monitor (WFM) and picture monitor (PM). The output mode can be changed by selecting the MONI SEL and MONI LINK settings on the SYSTEM screen. If MONI LINK is set to ON, the monitor display is also switched temporarily in linkage with the R, G and B shading switches when BLACK SHADING and WHITE SHADING are to be adjusted.
The R, G and B switches can be selected simultaneously. The RGB outputs on the WFM display are shown as a parade display.
C Scene file switches [SCENE FILE 1 to 4, 5 to 8]
These are used to store the data that can be transferred to other cameras among the camera settings or adjustment data for individual scenes to be saved in the eight files that serve as scene files or to be called from them.
How to call scene file data
1 From among the 1 to 8 scene file switches, press the
number of the switch that corresponds to the scene file which is to be called and light its lamp.
2 The scene file is now loaded. The data loaded from
the scene file is input into the current file and then output.
3 When the scene file has been loaded, the data left in
the current file until that moment is temporarily saved. The lamp of the scene file switch remains lighted even
after the data has been called. To stop calling the scene file, press the scene file switch with the lighted lamp to turn its lamp off. The setting information that was temporarily saved before the scene file was called is now returned to the current file, and the setting statuses established prior to the scene file call are also restored. If a scene file switch other than the one with the lighted lamp is pressed and its lamp is lighted, the scene file corresponding to the number of the scene file switch with the lighted lamp is called.
Scene file 1-4/5-8 selector switch [SCENE SEL]
The scene file whose corresponding switch lamp is lighted is the one that is valid.
Scene file storage switch [SCENE FILE STORE]
This is pressed to store data in a scene file.
