Connections
≥Turn off the power of all the equipment before proceeding with the connections.
≥Use the AW-PS505 as the AC adaptor for the AW-RP400 pan/tilt head controller. Use the DC cable supplied
with the AW-PS505 to connect the DC 12V IN socket on the AW-RP400 with the DC 12V OUT socket on the
AW-PS505.
≥Connect the AC power cable supplied with the AW-PH400 for the AW-PH400 indoor pan/tilt head.
≥Use the AC adaptor supplied with the AW-RC400 for the AW-RC400 cable compensator.
≥Use 10BASE-T straight cables to connect the IP/RP connectors on the pan/tilt heads with the CONTROL OUT
TO PAN/TILT HEAD (1 to 5) connectors on the AW-RP400. The maximum extension distance is 500 meters
when using UTP category 5 cables or their equivalent.
≥Use the camera cables supplied with the pan/tilt head to connect the AW-PH400 to the convertible camera.
Supplied with the pan/tilt head are a cable for the composite/component signals, a cable for IEEE1394 cards
and a cable for WEB cards. Select the camera cable that matches the intended application.
≥Connect the iris control cable of the motorized zoom lens to the IRIS connector on the camera, and connect the
zoom/focus cable to the LENS I/F connector on the pan/tilt head.
≥Use either the AW-CB400 remote operation panel or WV-CB700A remote control box for camera control.
The AW-CB400 and WV-CB700A cannot be used together.
≥When using the AW-CB400, use the cable (10 m) supplied with the AW-CB400 to connect the CAMERA
CONTROL IN FROM RCP connector on the AW-RP400 with the I/F CONNECTOR on the AW-CB400.
Five cameras can be controlled from the AW-CB400.
Power is supplied through this cable from the AW-RP400 to the AW-CB400 so the AC adaptor need not be
connected to the AW-CB400.
≥When using the WV-CB700A, use the RCB cables (2 m) supplied with the WV-CB700A to connect the
CAMERA CONTROL IN FROM RCB (1 to 5) connectors on the AW-RP400 with the RCB connectors on the
WV-CB700A.
Only one camera can be controlled from the WV-CB700A. If there is a multiple number of cameras, one 
AW-CB700A will be required for each camera. It is also necessary to align the number of the CONTROL OUT
TO PAN/TILT HEAD connectors connected to the cameras to be controlled with the CAMERA CONTROL IN
FROM RCB connectors used to connect the WV-CB700A.
≥Use the 10BASE-T straight cable to connect the MONI SEL OUT connector on the AW-RP400 with the MONI
SEL IN connector on the AW-RC400. The maximum extension distance is 50 meters when using a UTP
category 5 cable or its equivalent.
By connecting these MONI SEL connectors, the video signals of the camera selected by the AW-RP400 can be
output from the MONITOR1 connector and the video signals of the camera selected by the AW-CB400 can be
output from the MONITOR2 connector.
When the WV-CB700A is used, MONITOR2 cannot be switched.
≥Use a coaxial cable to connect the AW-RC400 and AW-PH400.
≥Supply the genlock signals from a unit such as a signal generator to the G/L IN connector on the AW-RC400,
and connect the G/L OUT (1 to 5) connectors on the AW-RC400 with the G/L IN connectors on the pan/tilt
heads.
≥When using composite signals, connect the VIDEO connectors on the pan/tilt heads and Y/VIDEO connectors
(1 to 5) on the AW-RC400.
≥Also connect the Y/VIDEO OUT connectors on the AW-RC400 to switchers or monitors.
≥When using Y/C signals, connect the Y connectors and Pr/C connectors on the pan/tilt heads to the Y/VIDEO
connectors and Pr/C connectors, respectively, on the AW-RC400.
Also connect the Y/VIDEO OUT connectors and Pr/C connectors on the AW-RC400 to switchers or monitors.
≥When using component signals, connect the Y connector, Pr/C connector and Pb connector on the pan/tilt head
to the Y/VIDEO connector, Pr/C connector and Pb connector, respectively, on the cable compensator.
Also connect the Y/VIDEO OUT connectors, Pr/C connectors and Pb connectors on the AW-RC400 to
switchers or monitors.

Operating procedures
$Turning on the power
1When using one AW-RP400, set its EXT CONT [M/S] switch to the [M] position.
2Turn on the power.
First set the power switch on the AC adaptor for the AW-RP400 and AC power switch on the AW-PH400 to ON, and then
set the OPERATE switch on the AW-RP400 to ON.
$Setting the movement range (limiters) of the AW-PH400 indoor pan/tilt head
If there are any objects obstructing the movement of the AW-PH400 indoor pan/tilt head in the immediate vicinity, set
restrictions on the movement range (limiters: left, right, top and bottom limits of rotation).
When the AW-RL400 roll unit is connected to the AW-RP400, set the movement limits (clockwise and counterclockwise
limits) of the roll unit as well.
Before using these units, set these limits without fail.
≥When it is shipped, the AW-PH400 is set up to be placed on a stand or base. If it is to be suspended from the ceiling, the
mounting direction switch must be set without fail. If this setting is not performed correctly, the directions of the pan/tilt
operations will be reversed, and the movement range (limiter) settings of the pan/tilt head will not be stored in the memory
properly. For details on the setting methods and related aspects, refer to “Setting the mounting direction switch” in the
operating instructions for the AW-PH400.
Now proceed with the settings for the AW-RP400 pan/tilt head controller.

$Providing cable compensation for the cameras
Make these adjustments using the AW-RC400 cable compensator.
1Connect a waveform monitor to the video output connector on the AW-RC400, and set the signals supplied to the
corresponding video input connector to colour bar signals.
2Set the waveform monitor to the H rate (see figure below), and while monitoring the rise and fall sections of the
waveforms, set the cable length setting switch at the point where the undershoot and overshoot are kept to the minimum.
At this time, keep the Y LEVEL control and F RESPONSE control at their centre positions.
3Turn the F RESPONSE control, and adjust in such a way that the undershoot and overshoot of the waveforms in the rise
and fall sections are kept to the minimum. If the adjustment range of the control is exceeded, see if another setting can be
selected for the cable length setting switch.
4Next, use the Y LEVEL control to obtain the prescribed video level.
5With component signals, while observing the Y signal on the waveform monitor in the same way as with the composite
signals, use the cable length setting switch, F RESPONSE control and Y LEVEL control to adjust the cable compensation
in such a way that the prescribed video signals are obtained.
6Next, view the Y, Pr and Pb signals in their entirety, and re-adjust the F RESPONSE control and Y LEVEL control in such
a way that the optimum cable compensation is provided.
7With Y/C signals as well, first adjust the Y signal in the same way as with the component signals, view both the Y and C
signals, and adjust in such a way that the optimum cable compensation is provided.
