Overview  
Return video signals  
Rack Mounting  
When this unit is connected to a camera via a CA-D50  
or CA-537/537P Camera Adaptor or when it is  
connected to a DSR-370/370P/570WS/570WSP  
camcorder, return video signals can be sent to the  
camera/camcorder.  
The unit can be mounted in a standard 19-inch studio  
rack with the supplied mounting brackets.  
For more information about rack mounting, contact your  
Sony dealer or a Sony service representative.  
Note  
When using a CA-537/537P with a serial number of  
33271 or higher, set the return signal mode to B&W  
(see “qh System setting switches” on page 18).  
Prompter signals  
Rack mounting brackets  
(supplied)  
Prompter signals can be sent to a camera adaptor when  
this unit is connected to a CA-D50 or a CA-537/537P  
with a serial number of 33271 or higher. When sending  
prompter signals, set the return signal mode to B&W  
(see “qh System setting switches” on page 18).  
When a DSR-370//370P/570WS/570WSP camcorder  
is connected to this unit, it is not possible to send  
prompter signals to the camcorder.  
Camera Cable Length  
When using an optional CCZ-An camera cable (n in  
the model name is a number expressing the cable  
length in meters), analog transmission distance can be  
extended up to a maximum of 300 meters (about 999  
feet), and digital transmission distance can be extended  
up to about 75 m (about 246 feet). Use the CABLE  
COMP buttons (see page 17) on this unit to set a cable  
compensation value according to the length of the  
cable you are using.  
When a DSR-370//370P/570WS/570WSP camcorder  
is connected to this unit, reference sync signal and  
return signal transmission distance can be extended up  
to 150 m (about 492 feet).

signal to the RETURN VIDEO IN connector, always  
input a reference sync signal to the GENLOCK IN  
connector to synchronize the return video signal with  
the sync signal. Failure to synchronize the return video  
signal with a sync signal can cause camera/camcorder  
synchronization to become unstable.

Notes on Use  
Use and storage locations  
Avoid using or storing the unit in the following places:  
• Where it is subject to extremes of temperature.  
• Near a heat source, such as a radiator or an air duct,  
or in a place subject to direct sunlight. (Note that in  
summer the temperature in a car with the windows  
closed can reach 50°C (122°F).)  
• Very damp or dusty places.  
• Where rain is likely to reach the unit.  
• Places subject to severe vibration.  
• Near strong magnetic fields.  
• Near transmitting stations generating strong radio  
waves.  
Avoid violent impacts  
Dropping the unit, or otherwise imparting a violent  
shock to it, is likely to cause it to malfunction.  
Do not cover with cloth  
While the unit is in operation, do not cover it with a  
cloth or other material. This can cause the temperature  
to rise, leading to a malfunction.  
After use  
Turn the unit off.  
Care  
If the body of the unit is dirty, wipe it with a dry cloth.  
For severe dirt, use a soft cloth steeped in a small  
amount of neutral detergent, then wipe dry. Do not  
use volatile solvents such as alcohol or thinners, as  
these may damage the finish.  
Regarding the transport of this unit  
Keep the original carton and associated packing  
material, and use them when transporting the unit.  
During transport, do not subject the unit to strong  
shocks.
