of audio input, consisting of two channels on the
HDW-700A (AUDIO IN CH-1/CH-2 connectors) and
two channels on the HDCA-701 (AUDIO IN CH-3/
CH-4 connectors).
The HDCA-701 has the following features:
HD SDI (Serial Digital Interface) outputs
The HDCA-701 is equipped with two HDTV serial
digital video/audio output connectors to allow full
monitoring of recorded video and audio signals.
Various monitoring functions

and an headphones output connector (stereo phones
jack) are provided.
•The HDCA-701 can be used to select the audio
output for monitoring from either the AUDIO IN CH1/CH-2 connectors on the HDW-700A or the AUDIO
IN CH-3/CH-4 connectors on the HDCA-701.
Various power supply capabilities
•Power supplied to the DC IN connector on the
HDCA-701 can be used to power the HDW-700A.
•Power from the DC OUT connector on the HDCA701 can be used to power other equipment such as the
