portable VTR, CCU-M7/M7P Camera Control Unit,
CMA-8A/8ACE AC Adaptor or other connected
device.
Note

VTR/CCU/CMA connector is able to provide the
power required by the camera.
If it is not able to provide the necessary power, or
when it is necessary to prolong the operating time, use
the camera with a separate power supply.
