In addition, there are two signal outputs for SDI signals compliant with the SMPTE59M standard. Notes The AW-PB506A cannot be installed to the following models; AW-E300, AW-E300A, AW-E300S, AW-E600, AW-E800, AW-E800A, AW-RP605, AW-PB605 When the SDI card 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. Characteristics Two signal outputs for SDI signals compliant with the SMPTE59M standard [BELDEN 881 or equivalent coaxial cable; max. (00 m)] EDH (Error Detection and Handling) flags complying with the SMPTE RP165 standard can be added. (A switch can be used to enable or disable the addition of these flags. ) An inter-communications headset can be used and its volume adjusted. The STANDBY/ON switch function of the viewfinder (WV-VF65B, AW-VF80) is incorporated. Output signals (brightness and composite video signals) to the viewfinder can be switched using the menu settings. Zebra pattern and safety zone displays appearing in the viewfinder can be switched using the menu settings. The VIDEO ON/OFF switch function of the viewfinder (AW-VF6) is incorporated. (In order to prevent CRT burn-in, the AW-VF6 does not come with a standby function. ) Precautions for use When connecting or disconnecting a cable from any unit, ensure that the power to that unit is turned off. Do not drop this product or subject it to strong shock or vibration, as this may cause it to malfunction. Avoid using the unit in very humid or dusty locations, as this may cause it to malfunction. Avoid using the product at a cold place below 1°F (­10°C) or at a hot place above 113°F (+5°C) because extremely low or high temperature will adversely affect the parts inside. -6- Major operating controls and their functions SDI card EVF I/F connector [EVF I/F] The EVF I/F cable 9 from the interface bracket is connected here. SDI output 1, 2 connector [SDI OUT 1, 2] SDI signals are output from here. 2: Model selection <E350/E860> (Factory setting: E350) When the AW-E350, AW-E650, AW-E655 or AW-E750 is used, set this switch at the E350. When the AW-E860 is used, set this switch at the E860. 3: DATA CLIP <NORMAL/CLIP> (Factory setting: NORMAL) At the NORMAL setting, signal input is output at the same level at which it was input.
