Before use w Overview w Disclaimer This unit is a controller which is designed to control remote cameras (cameras integrated with pan-tilt heads) and pantilt head systems (which consist of pan-tilt heads and the cameras which are mounted on them). By means of an IP connection, an operating environment where the unit is tied in with the AW-HE50 HD integrated camera and AW-HS50 compact live switcher is achieved. When IP connections are used, the unit can be used to control up to 100 cameras.
How to turn the power of the remote cameras on and off w How to turn the power of the remote cameras on Turning on the power of a multiple number of cameras 1 Follow one of the procedures below to turn on the power of the remote cameras. p Turning on the power one camera at a time p Turning on the power of a multiple number of cameras Turning on the power of all the cameras Turning on the power of the selected group of cameras Press the MENU button to light its indicator.
Setting and operating the preset memories To register more data, repeat steps 2 to 5. This unit has a preset memory function for registering the preset data of the shooting positions and settings of the remote cameras. Up to 100 sets of data (presets) can be registered in these memories. p When specifying a different “number on the page” on the same “page number,” it is registered by skipping step 4 and carrying out the operation in step 5 only.
Setting and operating the preset memories w Deleting the preset memory data w Executing the preset data 1 2 Press one of the CAMERA STATUS/SELECTION buttons 1 to 5 to select the remote camera to be operated. 1 Select the remote camera which is to be pointed at the camera angle registered in the preset memory. 2 Press the PRESET MEMORY/MENU button, and specify the registered page number and number on the page. Press the DELETE button.
Selecting the settings for a selected remote camera w Setting the pedestal The following settings and adjustments can be performed for a selected remote camera directly from this unit. • • • • • Gain Pedestal R and B gain values White balance Black balance • • • • Perform the black level (pedestal) adjustment in order to make it easier to see the very dark parts of the images.
Selecting the settings for a selected remote camera w Setting the R and B gain values w Setting the R and B pedestal Adjust the amounts by which the R gain and B gain values are to be incremented or decremented using the G gain value obtained when the white balance has been adjusted as the reference. When auto white balance is performed, the adjustment value is set to “000”.
Selecting the settings for a selected remote camera w Setting the white balance The modes which can be selected differ depending on the remote camera connected. The ratio between RGB (three primary colors) is adjusted so that white will be reproduced accurately. If the white balance is off, not only will white be reproduced poorly but the color tone of the entire picture will also deteriorate.
Selecting the settings for a selected remote camera 4 Automatically adjusting the white balance Turn the F2 dial to select AWB, and press the F2 dial. Set the automatic adjustment if the coloring appears unnatural under certain light sources or other conditions. If the white serving as the reference can be recognized, it is possible to shoot with natural coloring. The remote camera now automatically adjusts the white balance, and registers it at the place selected in step 3.
Selecting the settings for a selected remote camera Manually adjusting the white balance 1 2 3 Automatic color temperature tracking (ATW) As with the automatic adjustment, fill the screen with a white subject. This function provides compensation automatically so that the white balance is adjusted even when the light source or color temperature changes during shooting, so that images that appear the least odd (that is, the most natural looking) are produced.
Selecting the settings for a selected remote camera w Setting the black balance Manually adjusting the black balance The black balance must be adjusted when using a remote camera for the first time or when the remote camera has not been used for a prolonged period of time. It must also be adjusted when significant changes have occurred in the ambient temperature or at the change of the seasons.
