Overview
Installing the SDI card in a convertible camera (such
as the AW-E300, AW-E600, AW-E800A) and
mounting the camera on the interface bracket makes
it possible for a viewfinder and/or intercommunications headset to be used and thus enable
the camera to be used as a studio camera.
It is also possible to output SDI signals which are
compliant with the SMPTE259M standard.
Features
O SDI signal output compliant with SMPTE259M
standard (max. 200 m using a BELDEN 9231
coaxial cable)
O An inter-communications headset can be used and
its volume adjusted
O Includes viewfinder STANDBY/ON switch
O Output signals (brightness and composite video
signals) to the viewfinder can be switched using the
menu settings
O Zebra pattern and safety zone displays appearing
in the viewfinder can be switched using the menu
settings
Operating precautions
Important
O This product consists of an SDI card and an
interface bracket.
The EVF I/F cable of the interface bracket must be
connected to the connector on the SDI card before
use. If this connection is not performed, signals will
not be output from the SDI card.
O When connecting or disconnecting a cable from any
unit, ensure that the power to that unit is turned off.
O Do not drop this product or subject it to strong
shock or vibration, as this may cause it to
malfunction.
O Avoid using the unit in very humid or dusty
locations, as this may cause it to malfunction.
O Avoid using the unit in locations where the
temperature is below freezing point or above 104°F
(40°C). Otherwise, the picture quality may
