  • Page 4: Introduction

    Introduction The AW-EX500 signal converter can convert analog composite, analog Y/C, analog component and SDI (complying with SMPTE259M standard, 270Mbps) input signals into analog composite, analog Y/C, analog component and analog RGB signals. However, the analog composite and analog Y/C output signals cannot be used by externally synchronized systems (since color frame synchronization cannot be provided).
  • Page 5 For this reason, it cannot output normal signals if no signals are supplied. To use this signal converter, therefore, signals must be supplied to it. • The AW-EX500 does not come with a cable compensation circuit for the input signals.
