Cable Compensation Unit AW-RC400

Introduction

≥ The AW-RC400 is capable of providing cable

compensation for analog composite, analog Y/C or analog

component signals in five channels up to 500 meters

(when the BELDEN 8281 connecting cable or its

equivalent is used).

NOTE

≥ Input either sync signals to the sync signal input

connector on the AW-RC400 cable compensation unit

or input video signals to one of the video channels

(input composite signals or Y signals with sync to video

input connector 1). If neither of these signals is input,

the monitor selection will not be controlled.

≥ It features a 5µs advance function for the sync signals in

order to provide easy support for a system (another cable

compensation unit is required) in which the coaxial cable

connected between this AW-RC400 cable compensation

unit and the camera is longer than 500 meters.

≥ The AW-RC400 provides cable compensation for the

three Y, Pr and Pb signal channels by means of a

single control. This means that the Y, Pr and Pb signals

cannot be adjusted separately. In the same way, the Y

and C signals cannot be adjusted separately.

≥ The AW-RC400 is a cable compensation unit and, as

such, it does not come with signal conversion functions

(for converting component signals into composite

signals, for instance).

≥ When the cable compensation unit is to be discarded at

the end of its service life, ask a specialized contractor

to dispose of it properly in order to protect the

environment.

This is the power input socket. Connect the AW-PS301 AC

adaptor (sold separately) here.

8MONI SEL IN connector

2POWER switch

Control signals for selecting the video signals output to

the MONITOR1 or 2 connector are supplied to this

connector. Connect it to the MONI SEL OUT connector

on AW-RP400 pan/tilt control panel using a 10BASE-T

straight cable (equivalent to UTP category 5). It is then

possible to output the video signals of the camera

selected by the AW-RP400 or the AW-CB400 remote

operation panel which is connected to the AW-RP400, to

the MONITOR1 or MONITOR2 connector.

Set this to ON to turn on the cable compensation unit’s

power. Part of the power supply circuitry will still operate

even when the power switch is at the OFF position. To

turn off the power completely, disconnect the AC adaptor.

3Cable length setting switches [0 to 5]

Set these switches according to the length of the coaxial

cable connected. [0] is used to provide the minimum

amount of cable compensation, and [5] the maximum

amount. As a general guideline, set to [1] if the coaxial

cable is 100 meters long, and [2] if it is 200 meters long.

9G/L IN connectors

The sync signals (black burst signals) are input here.

These connectors are automatically terminated internally

by a 75-ohm resistance. The top and bottom connectors

have the same specifications, and the signals can be

connected to either one. The termination is released if

BNC cables are connected to both input connectors

(when they are used in a loop-through configuration).

4Y LEVEL control

Use this to adjust the output level of the cable

compensation output signals (video output).

5F RESPONSE control

Use this to adjust the amount of cable compensation

(frequency response compensation) for the cable

compensation output signals.

:G/L OUT connectors [1 to 5]

The genlock signals supplied to the G/L IN connector can

be distributed and output to five cameras.

Use sync signal outputs 1 to 5 to correspond to video

signal channels 1 to 5.

6SHORT/LONG selector switch

This is normally used at the SHORT position. Set it to

LONG if the coaxial cable from the camera is a long one

and the camera’s sync adjustment range is insufficient, or

if the cable compensation unit is used as part of a system

(another cable compensation unit is required) in which

the coaxial cable (BELDEN 8281 or equivalent)

The signals of sync signal output connector 1 are

supplied to the camera connected to video input

connector 1.

;MONITOR1, 2 connectors

BAC adaptor storage space

The video signals of the cameras selected by the

AW-RP400 pan/tilt control panel or the AW-CB400

remote operation panel which is connected to the

AW-RP400 are output from these connectors.

The output signals are cable-compensated signals of the

same type as the input signals. For instance, if a channel

to which composite signals have been input is selected,

these composite signals will be cable-compensated and

output.

The AC adaptor can be stored here when the ambient

temperature in the location where the cable

compensation unit has been installed is under 86°F

(30°C). Remove the two screws, and remove the storage

space cover. Stow the AW-PS301 AC adaptor in such a

way that the pull-out cable will not be stressed. Trouble

will occur in the AC adaptor if the ambient temperature

exceeds 86°F (30°C), in which case it should not be

stored in the space.

<Y/VIDEO IN connectors [1 to 5]

CCable clamp

The analog video signals are input to these connectors.

They are terminated internally by a 75-ohm resistance.

Either Y (component signals or Y of the Y/C signals with

sync) or VIDEO (composite) signals are supplied.

This is used to clamp the cable of the AW-PS301 AC

adaptor in place and prevent it from coming loose.

=Pr/C IN connectors [1 to 5]

The analog video signals are input to these connectors.

They are terminated internally by a 75-ohm resistance.

The lamps of the buttons among TRACING MEMORY buttons 1 to 10 where data can be registered now light.

≥ The lamps of the buttons with numbers exceeding the number of memories set by the MEMORY LENGTH menu setting

do not light.

≥ If the lamp of any button among the number of memories in which data can be set is off, it means that data has already

been registered in the button. When registering data in such a button, delete the existing data in its memory first.

4 Press the number of the button in which the data is to be registered.

Only the lamp of the button pressed now lights, and START button flashes. The pan/tilt head position and camera settings

prevailing at this time are recorded as the start position of the tracing memory.

≥ When the STOP button is now operated, the registration of the tracing memory data is canceled.

5 Press the START button.

The lamp of the START button stops flashing and goes off, then the recording standby mode is established.

≥ If the STOP button is now operated, the registration of the tracing memory data is canceled.

6 Since tracing memory recording starts at the point where the PAN, TILT, ZOOM or FOCUS control is operated, proceed

to register the data.

The lamp of the START button stops flashing, and the lamp of the STOP button starts flashing. As a general rule, the time

which can be stored in the memory is about 6 seconds for each of the PRESET MEMORY buttons No.1 to 10 and about

60 seconds for each of the PRESET MEMORY buttons No.11 to 30.

Starting with the No.10 button, the button lamps go off every 6 seconds to indicate the remaining time for recording in the

memory. When the lamps of all the buttons have gone off, the buzzer sounds, and the registration of the tracing memory

data is ended.

≥ To suspend the recording of the tracing memory data at any time, press the STOP button.

The operations performed up to the moment when the recording was suspended are registered as the tracing memory

data.

≥ The buzzer sounds when the tracing memory data recording starts, is suspended or ends.

7 If necessary, register the data in TRACING MEMORY buttons No.1 to 10.

8 Select another pan/tilt head system using the CONTROL SELECT button, and proceed with the tracing memory data

settings for the pan/tilt head system concerned. Repeat this step for all the pan/tilt head systems.

The tracing memory information is recorded in the pan/tilt heads and control panels.

If a pan/tilt head or control panel is replaced, re-register the data in the tracing memory.

3 After the pan/tilt head system has been set to the start position registered in the tracing memory and stopped, the

operation of the data registered in the tracing memory can be started by pressing the button corresponding to the tracing

memory in which that data is registered.

≥ To suspend the play of the tracing memory data at any time, press the STOP button.

Play is also suspended when the PAN, TILT, ZOOM or FOCUS control is operated.

≥ The buzzer sounds when tracing memory play starts, is suspended or ends.

As when the data was registered, the PRESET MEMORY buttons 1 to 30 serve to provide a general indication of the

time.

4 Change the tracing memory operation.

≥ It is not possible to change parts of the tracing memory operation. Re-register the whole operation from the point where

the change was made all the way to the end.

pan/tilt head systems. The preset memory data is registered in PRESET MEMORY buttons 1 to 50.

Registering the preset memory data

1 Select the pan/tilt head system using one of the CONTROL SELECT buttons.

2 Set the statuses of the pan/tilt heads and cameras.
