Connections for transmitting digital video (SDI) signals between this unit and a camera
In a system consisting of this unit, a DXC-D35/D35P/
D35WS/D35WSP camera, and CA-D50 Camera
Adaptor, digital video (SDI) signals can be transmitted
between this unit and the camera.
The maximum transmission distance over CCZ camera
cable is 75 m (246 feet). The maximum transmission
distance over coaxial cable is 200 m (656 feet). To
transmit over CCZ cable, you will need to change the
cabling in the SDI unit of this unit to SDI mode, and to
turn digital transmission on with the system setting
switches.

the Y (luminance) signal, and the C screw adjusts the
C (chroma) signals.
H (horizontal phase adjustment) screw
Use a screwdriver or other tool to adjust the horizontal
phase difference between the output signal and an
external sync signal.
SC (subcarrier phase adjustment) switch
Adjust the subcarrier phase difference between the
output signal and an external sync signal.
qs DIGITAL TRANSMISSION indicator
Lit in green: Digital signals are being transmitted
from the camera/camcorder by CCZ cable or by
BNC cable connected to the SDI IN connector.
Lit in red: The unit is in digital transmission mode,
but there are no digital video signals being
transmitted from the camera/camcorder.
Flashing in red: The unit is in digital transmission

When using B/W return mode (see “qh System setting
switches” on page 18) and inputting a return video
signal to the RETURN VIDEO IN connector, always
input a reference sync signal to the GENLOCK IN
connector to synchronize the return video signal with
the sync signal. Failure to synchronize the return video
signal with a sync signal can cause camera/camcorder
synchronization to become unstable.

Notes on Use
Use and storage locations
Avoid using or storing the unit in the following places:
•Where it is subject to extremes of temperature.
•Near a heat source, such as a radiator or an air duct,
or in a place subject to direct sunlight. (Note that in
summer the temperature in a car with the windows
closed can reach 50°C (122°F).)
•Very damp or dusty places.
•Where rain is likely to reach the unit.
•Places subject to severe vibration.
•Near strong magnetic fields.
•Near transmitting stations generating strong radio
waves.
Avoid violent impacts
Dropping the unit, or otherwise imparting a violent
shock to it, is likely to cause it to malfunction.
Do not cover with cloth
While the unit is in operation, do not cover it with a
cloth or other material. This can cause the temperature
to rise, leading to a malfunction.
After use
Turn the unit off.
Care
If the body of the unit is dirty, wipe it with a dry cloth.
For severe dirt, use a soft cloth steeped in a small
amount of neutral detergent, then wipe dry. Do not
use volatile solvents such as alcohol or thinners, as
these may damage the finish.
Regarding the transport of this unit
Keep the original carton and associated packing
material, and use them when transporting the unit.
During transport, do not subject the unit to strong
shocks.
