Precautions When Connecting The System - Panasonic AG-CA300G Bedienungsanleitung

Precautions When Connecting the System

Be aware of the following points when connecting the camera recorder and the base station to the unit.
Maximum power supply from this unit to the
camera recorder is 5 A. Be careful that the total
power consumption does not exceed 5 A when
the camera recorder and LCD monitor or any
other equipment are used simultaneously.
Use the dedicated power supply cable when
connecting with the base station. (Refer to
page 23) Make sure the power is switched OFF
when connecting or disconnecting the power
supply cable.
Use 5C-FW as the BNC cable connecting this
unit with the base station. Maximum extension
length of 100 m cannot be achieved if any other
cable is used.
Video on the viewfinder (LCD monitor) may be
interrupted momentarily when the RET signal
selection switch of the unit is pressed to
confirm the RET signal.
Only a dynamic microphone can be used as the
microphone for the INCOM.
Most of the operational functions of the camera
recorder will be controlled by the remote control
unit (AG-EC4G; optional, or AJ-RC10G;
optional) when the remote control unit is
connected to this unit, and the remote control
unit is enabled by turning the power on.
(However, POWER ON/OFF, AWB/ABB,
MODE CHECK, REC START/STOP, FF and
REW can also be operated from the camera
recorder.)
Even if the remote control unit is connected to
the base station, operation by the camera
recorder becomes enabled when the remote
control unit is turned OFF.
When the SDI output of the camera recorder is
set to 720P, 720P 3-value SYNC signal is
output from the GENLOCK OUT connector of
this unit even if 2-value SYNC signal is input to
the REF input of the base station. A/B field of
the VBS output from the camera recorder and
the A/B field of the REF input into the base
station cannot be matched.
However, this is not the case when the SDI
output of the camera recorder is SD.
When connecting the unit with the camera
recorder, connect the REMOTE connector of
the camera recorder with the REMOTE
connector of the unit using the included remote
control cable.
Power of this unit can be turned on/off
simultaneously with the power switch of the
camera recorder. This unit will not be powered
on unless the remote control cable is
connected.
When the video format is changed in the
camera recorder, turn the power of this unit and
the base station OFF once, and turn it back on.
There is only one line of video signal sent from
the unit to the base station. The viewfinder
video from the camera recorder cannot be
viewed from the VIDEO OUT connector and
the SDI OUT connector of the base station.
Do not supply power to the DC IN 24 V
connector of this unit except from the base
station.
This unit cannot be used with camera recorders
with an SDI IN option.
Make changes so the GENLOCK IN becomes
possible either by removing the SDI IN option,
or set the REC SIGNAL in the menu setting to
something other than SDI.
Use coaxial cable of less than 50 cm when
connecting the SDI IN connector (BNC) to the
SDI output from the camera recorder
