Panasonic Matrix Switcher Wj Sx550c Operating Instructions

Notes:The desired monitor selection may not be avail-
able due to one of the following reasons:
• The System Controller used for selecting a particu-
lar monitor is not allowed access to that monitor
because of controller partitioning.
See page 18 for more details.
• The desired monitor is currently selected by anoth-
er operator who has a higher operator priority, and

System Controller-Monitor Partitioning
This feature is used to prevent specific WV-CU550C System Controllers from controlling the outputs of specific monitors.
It prevents an operator from unintentionally gaining control over a monitor that may not be associated with his/her station.
For example:
The following example demonstrates the use of both system controller-monitor partitioning and operator priority.
• Camera: 8 sets
• Monitor: 3 sets
• System Controller: 3 sets
• Operator : 3 persons

with External Timing
The camera switching interval (Sequence Dwell Time) can
be synchronized with the time lapse mode set in the associ-
ated Time Lapse VCR.
Select the On or Off mode on the EXT Timing Select table to
meet each monitor’s requirements.
Caution:Set the interval time for the external timing signal
of the external equipment to 1 second or more.
If the interval is set to less than 1 second, the system
