Camera Connections
3 LANC
Connect wired LANC remote controllers to the 2.5mm jack for controlling functions
like recording start and stop, iris adjustment, and manual focus from a tripod arm when
using compatible lenses. On some compatible lenses, you can also remotely control
the zoom via LANC.
4 Composite Video Out
Standard definition composite video output via an RCA connector. You can connect
this output to any low cost composite display device or even a wireless composite
transmitter. The output can be selected to be either NTSC or PAL standard from the
camera’s menu.
5-8 Analog Servo Ch1 – Ch4
The four analog servo ports are connected with the Futaba J connectors to a
compatible receiver unit. This is used to wirelessly control your camera. Each PWM
analog input operates a single channel that can drive a feature such as lens focus,
iris and servo zooms. You can also connect a simple switch so that you can quickly
toggle the camera to start and stop recording. The camera will treat each of the analog
channel as a switch until it detects a PWM signal. Once a PWM signal is detected, it will
automatically latch on and respond to PWM signals. Power cycle the camera if you want
to use a switch to control the camera.
9 S.Bus Digital Servo
By connecting to a compatible S.Bus receiver using the Futaba J cable, you have
17S.Bus remote channels where features of the camera can be assigned to and
remotely controlled.
Channel 18 is reserved as a reset switch so that the camera can be
reset to its default exposure settings.
These features can include focus, servo zoom, iris
control and other such features. For more information about mapping functions to S.Bus
remote channels, see the ‘Remote Settings’ section of this manual.
