Introduction
Installing the studio card in a convertible
camera (such as the AW-E350, 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.
Characteristics
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.
Output signals (brightness and
composite video signals) to the
viewfinder can be switched using the
menu settings.
Notes
The AW-PB305A cannot be installed
to the following models;
AW-RP605, AW-PB605
When the studio 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.
Zebra pattern and safety zone displays
appearing in the viewfinder can be
switched using the menu settings.
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.)
ENGLISH
Precautions for use
When connecting or disconnecting a
cable from any unit, ensure that the
power to that unit is turned off.
Do not drop this product or subject it to
strong shock or vibration, as this may
cause it to malfunction.
- 4 (E) -
Avoid using the unit in very humid or
dusty locations, 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.
