- For details, see “Connecting a Tally Signal” and “Connecting a Lens Controller.”
-
Cord clamper
Use to secure the AC adaptor cord.
-
RESET switch
Press for at least 5 seconds using the tip of a pen or similar device to reset the settings of the unit to the factory default values.
You can select whether to reset the network connection settings only or all settings using SETUP switch 1.
-
OPTICAL output connector
Outputs an SDI signal converted to optical format when an SFP+ module (option) is connected.
- For details, see “Outputting an Optical Fiber Signal.”
-
SETUP switches
Configures the following settings.
Switch 1: Sets which settings are reset when the RESET switch is pressed.
Setting Description OFF (default) Resets the network connection settings only. The network settings, security settings, and user information (user name and password) of the unit will be reset. ON Resets all settings to factory defaults. Switch 2: Sets whether the +48 V power supply (phantom power) is turned on/off when an audio input device is connected. The setting is applied immediately.
This function is enabled when [Audio] > [Audio Input] > [AUDIO IN Select] is set to [MIC] in the camera menu.
Setting Description OFF (default) Do not supply +48 V power (phantom power supply). Configure this setting when using an external audio device (such as a mixer), dynamic microphone, or microphone with a built-in battery. ON Supply +48 V power (phantom power supply) to a phantom power compatible microphone connected to the AUDIO IN connector (CH-1 or CH-2). Note
- Setting switch 2 to the ON position and connecting a microphone that is not compatible with a +48 V source may damage the connected device. Check the setting before connecting the device.
Switch 3: Enables/disables VISCA over IP communication. The settings are applied when the camera is turned on.
Set to the ON position to use the unit when connected to a remote controller (RM-IP500).
Setting Description OFF (default) Will not respond to VISCA over IP commands. ON Accepts VISCA over IP commands. Note
- If the administrator password has not been configured, VISCA over IP communication is disabled, regardless of the switch setting. For details about configuring the administrator password, see “Initializing the Unit.”
Switch 4: Changes the speed of pan/tilt operations sent from the infrared remote control. The setting is applied immediately.
Setting Description OFF (default) Operates at normal speed. ON Operates at maximum speed. -
SDI OUT connector
Outputs the video from the unit as a 12G/6G/3G/HD-SDI signal.
The unit can also be configured for RAW signal output.
- For details, see “SDI OUT connector (BNC type)” in “Connecting External Monitors and Recording Devices.”
-
Infrared remote control sensor (rear)
Infrared sensor for the supplied infrared remote control.
-
Fan/air outlet
Emits heat from inside the unit.
Note
- Do not cover the air outlet. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
- Note that the area near the air outlet may become hot.
-
GENLOCK connector
Use to input an external sync signal.
- For details, see “Synchronizing the Phase of the Video Signal (Genlock).”
-
AUDIO IN connector (XLR type 5-pin connector)
Use to input the signal from an external microphone or audio device.
It functions as an AUDIO IN CH-1 connector or AUDIO IN CH-2 connector.
- For details, see “Connecting an External Microphone or External Audio Device.”
