The unit has the following features.

≥It enables high picture quality transmission by means of non-compressed wide-band 360 Mbps serial component signals.

≥It uses a tri-axial cable.

≥It enables a DVCPRO camera recorder to be operated as a system camera.

≥It enables transmission up to 2000 meters when three AJ-RP900P Repeaters are used. (*1)

≥It enables the transmission of the signals of two audio channels.

≥It enables RET 1CH and PROMPT 1CH transmission.

≥It can easily be installed in, or detached from, the camera recorder using the spacer.

≥Its TRIAX connector area can be rotated for easy operation.

≥It comes with RET and PROMPT output connectors (BNC).

≥It comes with a DC 12 V output jack.

Features

*1 The unit’s power supply is subject to some restrictions. Refer to the Instruction Manual of the repeater when configuring the system.

Thank you very much for purchasing this AJ-CA900P Camera Adapter (referred to throughout these instructions as “the unit”).

The unit is installed in a DVCPRO or DVCPRO50 camera recorder to configure a transmission system which uses a tri-axial cable to

enable the camera recorder to be operated as a system camera.

Use of non-compressed wide-band 360 Mbps serial component signals makes high picture quality transmission possible so that the

high picture quality of the images shot by the DVCPRO camera recorder are transmitted with their high picture quality kept intact.

This serves to expand the range of the DVCPRO camera recorder’s operating formats.

Note:

≥≥When the unit is connected, external input signals cannot be recorded on tape inside the camera

recorder.“CAM” must be selected as the REC SIGNAL setting on the REC/PB/RET menu of the

camera recorder.

≥≥When using an external power supply (DC 12 V) for the unit, always turn the main power switch of

the base station (AJ-BS900P) ON before turning the power switch of the camera recorder ON.

Follow the steps below to attach the unit to the camera recorder.

<Notes>

The spacer must be mounted on the camera recorder before the unit is attached. For details on how to mount the spacer, consult

your dealer.

Depending on the version of the software being used with the camera recorder, it may be necessary to update it, in which case you

should consult your dealer.
