Precautions When Connecting the System
Take caution with the following when connecting the camera adapter and this unit.
z
To connect the camera adapter and the unit, use a power
supply cable of the specification described in [About the
Power Supply Cable] (page 18). When connecting and
disconnecting the power supply cable, always ensure that
the power is switched OFF.
z
Use the 5C-FW for the BNC cable. Maximum extension
distance of 100 m cannot be achieved if any other cable is
used.
z
Turn the power of this unit and the camera adapter OFF
once and turn it back ON after the video format of the
camera recorder has changed.
z
When confirming the RET signal on the camera adapter
by inputting the RET signal into this unit, the image on the
viewfinder (LCD monitor) may be interrupted for an instant
at the moment the RET signal selection switch on the
camera adapter is pressed.
z
Only a dynamic microphone can be used as the
microphone for INCOM.
z
Most of the operational functions of the camera recorder
will be controlled by the remote control unit (AG-EC4G;
optional, or AJ-RC10G; optional) when the remote control
unit is connected to this unit, and the remote control unit is
enabled by turning the power on. (However, POWER ON/
OFF, AWB/ABB, MODE CHECK, REC START/STOP, FF
and REW can also be operated from the camera
recorder.)
z
Operation by the camera recorder will be enabled when
the remote control unit is connected to this unit and
disabled.
z
When this unit is used in combination with the camera
adapter and the camera recorder, connect the cables
1
-

as shown on page 8. Also, set the GENLOCK item to
“EXT” using the GENLOCK menu of the camera recorder.
(This setting is not necessary for AG-HPX300/301/302/
304 and AG-HPX500/502 since it is set to “EXT” mode
automatically.) Also, set the GL PHASE item to “HD SDI”.
When this unit is used connected to the AG-HPX500/502,
set the GL SELECT item to “SDI”, and the GL PHASE
item to “OFF”.
z
There is only one line of video signal sent from the camera
adapter to this unit. It is not possible to view the camera
recorder viewfinder image via the VIDEO OUT (MENU)
connector or the SDI OUT 1/2 connector of this unit.
z
This unit does not have a built in color generator etc., and
a video signal will not be output from the VIDEO OUT
(MENU) connector or SDI OUT 1/2 connector if only the
unit is supplied with power.
z
Turn on the power of the remote control unit after turning
on the power for this unit when the remote control unit is
connected to this unit.
z
Turn on the power after connecting the power supply
cable and BNC cables.
z
INCOM becomes disconnected temporarily when the
video format is changed on the camera recorder.
z
Video output signal of this unit may be interrupted when
the power is turned on, but this is not a malfunction.
z
When the video format on the camera recorder is 720P,
there will be misalignment of ±1 field between the TC (time
code) that is superimposed on the SDI signal and the
video signal, even if the composite signal is input to the
GENLOCK IN signal connector of this unit, since the 720P
signal is a field unit signal.
Displacement of ±1 field will occur between the VBS
output from the camera recorder and this unit.
z
When the cable

,

,

,

, or

shown in page 8 is
disconnected while operating, reconnect the cable
correctly, and turn the power back on.
z
When the camera recorder connected to this unit is set to
1080/23.98PsF, 1080/24PsF, or 720/60P, the down
converted signal from the VIDEO OUT (MENU) connector
of this unit is not output. (25IRE NTSC signal to display
the menu is output.)
Also, it is not possible to input a composite signal as a
RET signal.
z
When this unit is used connected with the camera adapter
and the camera recorder, only CH1 - CH4 of the
embedded audio for the SDI signal of this unit is output.
z
When this unit, the camera adapter and the AG-HPX500/
502 are combined in a system and the AG-HPX500/502 is
set to play back video, or put into the IEEE1394 mode, the
synchronization between this unit’s VIDEO OUT signal
and SDI OUT 1/2 signal may be lost. Similarly, when the
AG-HPX500/502 is put into playback mode or IEEE1394
mode etc., noise may appear in the INCOM signal.
For these reasons, in systems combining this unit, the
camera adapter, and the AG-HPX500/502, the
AG-HPX500/502 should not be used in playback mode or
IEEE1394 mode.
z
When this unit, the camera adapter and the AG-HPX500/
502 are combined in a system and the AG-HPX500/502 is
put into MCR mode, the output from the unit will be a dark
screen and video will not be displayed except during
playback by the AG-HPX500/502.
z
Do not perform version update of the camera recorder
while this unit, the camera adapter, and the camera
recorder are connected. Perform the version update of the
camera recorder with the camera recorder on its own.
z
When combining this unit with the camera recorder,
ensure that the output format of the SDI signal matches
the system format of the camera recorder.
