Pursuit for Superb Operation and Ease of Use

■ High Performance Color Viewfinders
A 2" 16:9 LCD HDTV color viewfinder is adopted for portable operation. Full color
video monitoring is possible with QHD (960×540) high resolution. 7" LCD studio color
viewfinders can be also selected as an option.
■ Low Center-of-Gravity, Light Weight, and Excellent Balance
Designed with a low center-of-gravity, light weight, and excellent balance, in consideration
of the balance when shooting on the shoulder and holding at various angles.
■ On-Line Diagnostics
An on-line diagnostic system enables monitoring the status of circuits including video,
control, fiber optic transmission, pulses and power supply. This enables you to always grasp
the status information of the camera.
■ Rotating Camera Cable Connection
Employs a rotating fiber camera cable connector. This enables studio shooting and field
shooting at various angles.
■ Return Switch
A switch to choose RET-1 or RET-2 is also equipped on the handle grip of the camera to
easily switch when low angle shooting.
■ Dockable chassis structure
It has a basic structure that can be separated into camera and transmission parts and
provides high extensibility and maintainability.
■ Adoption of NEUTRIK fiber connector
With adoption of NEUTRIK OpticalCON DUO connectors, the hybrid fiber/copper camera
cable provides full signal interface with the base station with flexible cabling configuration.

Equipped with Various Interfaces

- The camera includes HD-SDI signal output.
- The camera has an interface for return video in HD-SDI signal form. (RET HD-SDI signal
transmission)
- An 8-core composite fiber optic camera cable (two single-mold fibers, four power
leads, two control signal leads) connects between the camera and the BSF-300, and the
transmission complies with BTA S-004A (Japan standard) and SMPTE292M (International
standard). Signal transmission and power supply are possible for a length up to 350 m. (If
VFL-P900 is used for the viewfinder, the maximum length is 250 m.)
- DC12V (Maximum 0.5A) can be supplied for the camera.
- The transmission distance between the BS and the power supply unit, can be extended up
to 10km by connecting a single mode fiber cable by installing a power supply unit (PSU-300)
between the camera and BSF-300.
- When the camera is connected to the BSF-300, you can use the data trunk channel (RS-422)
for virtual studio applications.

Support Function for Data Setup

The level adjustment and settings of each menu for the camera can be easily set up by
calling up the ENGINEER SET FILE that is set by user engineer or the FACTORY SET
FILE that is set at shipment according to environment and shooting conditions where the
camera system is used. This enables quick initialization of the camera status even though
the settings are changed.
