If using a VTR from another manufacturer, consult your
Sony dealer.

monitor a clear picture, with no flecking.

connector of this unit is a composite video signal.
Connect the VIDEO OUT connector of this unit to a
composite video signal input connector of the

Connecting a Number of
Cameras (Using a Camera
Control Unit)
When using a number of cameras in the studio, it may
be necessary to use a CCU-D50/D50P/TX7/TX7P
Camera Control Unit to provide video and color sync
between cameras, and special effects and other devices
to allow switching, wipes and so forth.
In the studio it may also be convenient to use a DXF-
51 Viewfinder.
The figure below shows an example studio
configuration.
For details, consult your Sony dealer.
Notes
• When using the CCU-TX7/TX7P Camera Control
Unit, use the PRO 76 PIN (DIGITAL) connector of
the CA-TX7/TX7P Camera Adaptor.
• Before connection, be sure to turn off the camera and
its peripheral equipment.
