≥The AW-RP400 is 320 mm wide. If it is to be installed in a full-size rack (which accommodates units totaling
420 mm in width), provide panels or other parts to supplement the AW-RP400’s width so that it will fill the
rack width-wise.
≥If the AW-RP400 is joined to the AW-CB400, the resulting width will be equivalent to that of the full width of
the rack (which accommodates units totaling 420 mm in width).

							Cable Compensation Unit  AW-RC400
38
Introduction
Accessories
≥The AW-RC400 is capable of providing cable
compensation for analog composite, analog Y/C or analog
component signals in five channels up to 500 meters
(when the BELDEN 8281 connecting cable or its
equivalent is used).
≥It features a 5µs advance function for the sync signals in
order to provide easy support for a system (another cable
compensation unit is required) in which the coaxial cable
connected between this AW-RC400 cable compensation
unit and the camera is longer than 500 meters.NOTE
≥Input either sync signals to the sync signal input
connector on the AW-RC400 cable compensation unit
or input video signals to one of the video channels
(input composite signals or Y signals with sync to video
input connector 1). If neither of these signals is input,
the monitor selection will not be controlled.
≥The AW-RC400 provides cable compensation for the
three Y, Pr and Pb signal channels by means of a
single control. This means that the Y, Pr and Pb signals
cannot be adjusted separately. In the same way, the Y
and C signals cannot be adjusted separately.
≥The AW-RC400 is a cable compensation unit and, as
such, it does not come with signal conversion functions
(for converting component signals into composite
signals, for instance).
≥When the cable compensation unit is to be discarded at
the end of its service life, ask a specialized contractor
to dispose of it properly in order to protect the
environment.

Parts and their function
1Power LED
This lights up green when the (2) POWER switch is set
to ON while a DC 12V voltage is supplied to the (7) DC
12V IN socket.
2POWER switch
Set this to ON to turn on the cable compensation unit’s
power. Part of the power supply circuitry will still operate
even when the power switch is at the OFF position. To
turn off the power completely, disconnect the AC adaptor.
3Cable length setting switches [0 to 5]
Set these switches according to the length of the coaxial
cable connected. [0] is used to provide the minimum
amount of cable compensation, and [5] the maximum
amount. As a general guideline, set to [1] if the coaxial
cable is 100 meters long, and [2] if it is 200 meters long.
4Y LEVEL control
Use this to adjust the output level of the cable
compensation output signals (video output).
5F RESPONSE control
Use this to adjust the amount of cable compensation
(frequency response compensation) for the cable
compensation output signals.
6SHORT/LONG selector switch
This is normally used at the SHORT position. Set it to
LONG if the coaxial cable from the camera is a long one
and the camera’s sync adjustment range is insufficient, or
if the cable compensation unit is used as part of a system
(another cable compensation unit is required) in which
the coaxial cable (BELDEN 8281 or equivalent)
connected to the camera is longer than 500 meters.
7DC 12V IN socket
This is the power input socket. Connect the AW-PS301 AC
adaptor (sold separately) here.
8MONI SEL IN connector
Control signals for selecting the video signals output to
the MONITOR1 or 2 connector are supplied to this
connector. Connect it to the MONI SEL OUT connector
on AW-RP400 pan/tilt control panel using a 10BASE-T
straight cable (equivalent to UTP category 5). It is then
possible to output the video signals of the camera
selected by the AW-RP400 or the AW-CB400 remote
operation panel which is connected to the AW-RP400, to
the MONITOR1 or MONITOR2 connector.
9G/L IN connectors
The sync signals (black burst signals) are input here.
These connectors are automatically terminated internally
by a 75-ohm resistance. The top and bottom connectors
have the same specifications, and the signals can be
connected to either one. The termination is released if
BNC cables are connected to both input connectors
(when they are used in a loop-through configuration).
:G/L OUT connectors [1 to 5]
The genlock signals supplied to the G/L IN connector can
be distributed and output to five cameras.
Use sync signal outputs 1 to 5 to correspond to video
signal channels 1 to 5.
The signals of sync signal output connector 1 are
supplied to the camera connected to video input
connector 1.

Parts and their function
;MONITOR1, 2 connectors
The video signals of the cameras selected by the 
AW-RP400 pan/tilt control panel or the AW-CB400
remote operation panel which is connected to the 
AW-RP400 are output from these connectors.
The output signals are cable-compensated signals of the
same type as the input signals. For instance, if a channel
to which composite signals have been input is selected,
these composite signals will be cable-compensated and
output.
Pb IN connectors [1 to 5]
The analog video signals are input to these connectors.
They are terminated internally by a 75-ohm resistance.
The Pb (B-Y among the component signals) signals are
supplied.
?Y/VIDEO OUT connectors [1 to 5]
The analog video signals are output from these
connectors. Cable-compensated Y or VIDEO (composite)
signals that are in accordance with the input signals are
output. Y signals are output if component Y signals have
been input to the Y/VIDEO IN connectors 
[1 to 5], and composite signals are output if composite
signals have been input.
@Pr/C OUT connectors [1 to 5]
The analog video signals are output from these
connectors. Cable-compensated Pr or C signals that are
in accordance with the input signals are output.
Pr signals are output if Pr signals have been input to the
Pr/C IN connectors [1 to 5], and C signals are output if C
signals have been input.
APb OUT connectors [1 to 5]
The analog video signals are output from these
connectors. Cable-compensated Pb signals are output if
Pb signals have been input to the Pb IN connectors 
[1 to 5].
BAC adaptor storage space
The AC adaptor can be stored here when the ambient
temperature in the location where the cable
compensation unit has been installed is under 86°F
(30°C). Remove the two screws, and remove the storage
space cover. Stow the AW-PS301 AC adaptor in such a
way that the pull-out cable will not be stressed. Trouble
will occur in the AC adaptor if the ambient temperature
exceeds 86°F (30°C), in which case it should not be
stored in the space.
CCable clamp
This is used to clamp the cable of the AW-PS301 AC
adaptor in place and prevent it from coming loose.
