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).

???It features a 5??s 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.

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.

???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.

Cable Compensation Unit AW-RC400

Parts and their function

This lights up green when the (2) POWER switch is set to ON while a DC 12V voltage is supplied to the (7) DC 12V IN socket.

2POWER switch

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.

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.

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) connected to the camera is longer than 500 meters.

8MONI SEL IN connector

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.

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).

: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.

Cable Compensation Unit AW-RC400

Parts and their function

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.

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.

=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. Either Pr (R-Y among the component signals) or C (C of the Y/C signals) signals are supplied.

>Pb IN connectors [1 to 5]

The analog video signals are input to these connectors. They are terminated internally by a 75-ohm resistance. The Pb (B-Y among the component signals) signals are supplied.

?Y/VIDEO OUT connectors [1 to 5]

The analog video signals are output from these connectors. Cable-compensated Y or VIDEO (composite) signals that are in accordance with the input signals are output. Y signals are output if component Y signals have been input to the Y/VIDEO IN connectors

[1 to 5], and composite signals are output if composite signals have been input.

@Pr/C OUT connectors [1 to 5]

The analog video signals are output from these connectors. Cable-compensated Pr or C signals that are in accordance with the input signals are output.

Pr signals are output if Pr signals have been input to the Pr/C IN connectors [1 to 5], and C signals are output if C signals have been input.

APb OUT connectors [1 to 5]

The analog video signals are output from these connectors. Cable-compensated Pb signals are output if Pb signals have been input to the Pb IN connectors
