Table Of Contents - Panasonic AJ-CA900 Operation Instructions Manual

Thank you very much for purchasing this AJ-CA900P Camera Adapter (referred to throughout these instructions as "the unit").
The unit is installed in a DVCPRO or DVCPRO50 camera recorder to configure a transmission system which uses a tri-axial cable to
enable the camera recorder to be operated as a system camera.
Use of non-compressed wide-band 360 Mbps serial component signals makes high picture quality transmission possible so that the
high picture quality of the images shot by the DVCPRO camera recorder are transmitted with their high picture quality kept intact.
This serves to expand the range of the DVCPRO camera recorder's operating formats.
Note:
≥ ≥ When the unit is connected, external input signals cannot be recorded on tape inside the camera
recorder."CAM" must be selected as the REC SIGNAL setting on the REC/PB/RET menu of the
camera recorder.
≥ ≥ When using an external power supply (DC 12 V) for the unit, always turn the main power switch of
the base station (AJ-BS900P) ON before turning the power switch of the camera recorder ON.
