Introduction; Characteristics; Precautions For Use - Panasonic AW-PB506AN Operating Instructions Manual

Introduction

Installing the SDI card in a convertible
camera (such as the AW-E350, AW-E650,
AW-E655, AW-E750 and AW-E860) and
mounting the camera on the interface
bracket makes it possible for a viewfinder
and/or inter-communications headset to
be used and thus enable the camera to
be used as a studio camera. In addition,
there are two signal outputs for SDI signals
compliant with the SMPTE59M standard.

Characteristics

 Two signal outputs for SDI signals
compliant with the SMPTE59M standard
[ BELDEN 881 or equivalent coaxial
cable; max. 656 ft. (00 m)]
EDH (Error Detection and Handling)
flags complying with the SMPTE RP165
standard can be added.
( A switch can be used to enable or
disable the addition of these flags.)
 An inter-communications headset can be
used and its volume adjusted.
 The STANDBY/ON switch function of
the viewfinder (WV-VF65B, AW-VF80) is
incorporated.

Precautions for use

 When connecting or disconnecting a
cable from any unit, ensure that the
power to that unit is turned off.
 Do not drop this product or subject it to
strong shock or vibration, as this may
cause it to malfunction.
Notes
 The AW-PB506A cannot be installed
to the following models;
AW-E300, AW-E300A, AW-E300S,
AW-E600, AW-E800, AW-E800A,
AW-RP605, AW-PB605
 When the SDI card unit is to be
discarded at the end of its service
life, ask a specialized contractor
to dispose of it properly in order to
protect the environment.
 Output signals (brightness and
composite video signals) to the
viewfinder can be switched using the
menu settings.
 Zebra pattern and safety zone displays
appearing in the viewfinder can be
switched using the menu settings.
 The VIDEO ON/OFF switch function of
the viewfinder (AW-VF6) is incorporated.
( In order to prevent CRT burn-in, the
AW-VF6 does not come with a standby
function.)
 Avoid using the unit in very humid or
dusty locations, as this may cause it to
malfunction.
 Avoid using the product at a cold place
below 1°F (–10°C) or at a hot place
above 113°F (+5°C) because extremely
low or high temperature will adversely
affect the parts inside.
