RS232C connectors (D-sub 25-pin)
There are two connectors, CH1 and CH2. You can use
these connectors to connect a personal computer to
control the video camera.
You may also use these connectors to connect this unit
to another CCU-TX7/TX7P unit. It is possible to carry
out color balancing or linked iris adjustment between
two or more interconnected CCU-TX7/TX7P units
using the RCP-TX7 Remote Control Panel.
For details, see the RCP-TX7 Operation Manual.

OUTPUT connectors (BNC type)
R/R–Y/C, G/Y/Y, and B/B–Y (component video
signal/RGB signal/Y and C signal output)
connectors
Use these connectors to output component signals (R–
Y, B–Y, and Y), R, G, and B signals (for chroma key),
and Y and C signals. Use a switch on an internal board
(ES-20) to select the type of output signal.
VBS1 and VBS2 (composite video signal 1 and
2 output) connectors
Use these connectors to output signals from a video
camera as composite video signals.
SYNC (sync signal output) connector
This connector outputs a SYNC signal (0.3 Vp-p, 75
Ω
). Connect to the synchronization signal input
connector on a waveform monitor or video monitor.
PIX (picture monitor output) connector
Use this connector to output a video signal to a video
monitor. Use the MONITOR SELECT button on the
RCP-TX7 Remote Control Panel to set the type of
signal to be output. Selection of the signal type also
applies to the output from the WF connector.
