Overview
This unit is a controller which is designed to control remote
cameras (cameras integrated with pan-tilt heads) and
pan-tilt head systems (which consist of pan-tilt heads and
the cameras which are mounted on them).
By means of an IP connection, an operating environment
where the unit is tied in with the AW-HE50 HD integrated
camera and AW-HS50 compact live switcher is achieved.
When IP connections are used, the unit can be used to
control up to 100 remote cameras.
When serial connections are used, up to five remote
cameras and pan-tilt head systems can be controlled.

Setting the white balance
The ratio between RGB (three primary colors) is adjusted so
that white will be reproduced accurately.
If the white balance is off, not only will white be reproduced
poorly but the color tone of the entire picture will also
deteriorate.
The white balance must be adjusted when using a remote
camera for the first time or when the remote camera has
not been used for a prolonged period of time. It must also
be adjusted when changes have been made in the lighting
conditions or brightness.
The white balance can be adjusted automatically or
manually (fine adjustment after automatic adjustment).
In addition, preset values or the “auto tracking white
adjustment (ATW)” which continues to adjust the white
balance automatically all the time can be selected.
The results of white balance adjustments can be stored
in memory A or memory B when “AWB A” or “AWB B” has
been selected for the white balance.
