≥If the AW-F575 camera is used, the camera can be controlled from the hybrid control panel by performing the connections
as described below.
≥If two to five cameras and pan/tilt heads are to be connected, use the AW-RP505 as the controller, and connect the units
through the AW-HB505 multi-port hub.  For details on the connections, refer to the operating instructions of the units
concerned.
∞When multiple cameras and pan/tilt heads are to be controlled, priority is given to the switches on the camera in the
case of cameras other than the one selected by the multi-hybrid control panel.
Example: If color bar signals have been selected by the side panel switch on camera 1 and the multi-hybrid control
panel has selected the camera video signals, when camera 1 is selected by the control panel, the video
output of camera 1 will be selected as the camera video signals.  However, when a camera other than
camera 1 is selected by the control panel, the video output of camera 1 will be returned to the color bar
signals.  The same result will also be obtained with the other switches.
∞The distance between the camera pan/tilt head and controller can be extended to 500 meters (maximum) using the
10 BaseT straight cable (UTP category 5).
∞The cable for outputting the video signals from the camera pan/tilt head and the cable for inputting the G/L signals to
the pan/tilt head can be extended to 500 meters (maximum) using the 5C-2V coaxial cable.
≥The AW-F575 camera is set to the “night eye” mode when the GAIN selector switch on the AW-RP501 hybrid control panel
or AW-RP505 multi-hybrid control panel is set to the AGC position.

Connections

∞Provide the cable shown in the figure described below to connect the camera with the pan/tilt head (¢1).  Make the cable
long enough to support the connection when the camera is attached to the pan/tilt head and the pan/tilt head is moved
upward and downward.  (Approx. 60 cm: This length differs depending on the camera which is attached and the positions of
the camera’s connectors.)

When a motorized zoom lens is used, and its zoom/focus functions are to be controlled from the pan-tilt control panel, select
a cable which is long enough to support the connections when the pan/tilt head is moved upward and downward, as with the
cables listed above.  (Recommended cable: S14 a7.5BMD-D24 made by Fujinon)

≥Contact control signals are not connected to this cable.
The cable can be extended to 500 meters (maximum).  To extend the cable, use a commercially available 8-pin modular jack
used for extension purposes, and extend using a 10 BaseT straight cable (UTP category 5).
When using the RS-232C interface to control the pan/tilt head, remove the cable housing of the 10-meter optional cable
mentioned above, and attach a connector which fits the unit used.
Refer to the case where control is exercised using the RS-232C interface.
