Operating instructions
Other communication
camera operator is shooting critical or high priority footage that needs immediate action
by the director.
Typically, a Connect Gateway server can be set up to route this signal to the production
control room, for example to switch the camera’s main video directly to the program
channel (On Air).
Other communication
Private data (RS-232 connection)
The 6-pin RS-232 connector on the back panel of the camera allows for a serial two-way
private data channel (a 115 kbit/s serial connection) between camera and XCU (only in XCU
mode)
Tracker Tally signal
The 20-pin auxiliary connector on the back panel of the camera provides, as well as
providing full intercom facilities (Tracker intercom) for the dolly or crane driver, also carries
the tally signal and a +12 VDC power supply. This allows an external On Air lamp to be used.
For more detail and an application schematic, refer to Auxiliary connector , on page 142.
Managing files
You have access to many different files. The Configuration > Files menu is used to recall
and store these files. There are four types of files:
• Scene files
• Operator files
• Lens files
• Media files
A scene file contains values related to the picture performance. The operator file contains
values related to the setup of the camera (viewfinder and configuration parameters). Lens
files contain lens related settings. Media Files contain values related to the IP Media
Network such as IP addresses and settings.
The tables in Appendix A indicate the functions that are stored in the scene file, functions
that are stored in an operator file and those that are stored in a lens file.
Scene files
Four scene files are stored in the camera itself (SCAM1, SCAM2, SCAM3 and SCAM4) while
more scene files can be stored on a USB flash drive. A Standard scene file (preselected as
either factory or customer defined) is stored in the camera.
