1 General
MA-500 Camera Control Unit is a device used to remotely control a HL-65W color camera.
Connected with a 19-conductor camera cable (26 pins), the unit is extendable up to 300m. The
unit is an effective utility when used in conjunction with a 5" viewfinder camera at a studio or on
site and as a surveillance camera. The unit can also be adopted for Q-TV (optional).
1.1 Features
Remote control function
Connected to RM-51, RCP-50B, or OCP-399, the MA-500 offers remote operational control of
various functions. Operational control from the MA-500 front panel is also available.
Note:
Simultaneous operational control of the MA-500 front panel and the remote controller should not be
performed. Always control the functions using a single control method only.
Component signal transmission
Signal transmission from the camera: COMPONENT
The unit enables selection between the RGB and Y/Cb/Cr signals to be output.
The Y/C signal can be output if set to "Y/C" on the camera adaptor.
Cable compensation circuit
A high-pass transmission loss and reduction in the level attributed to the camera cable can be
corrected up to 300m.
Correction also applies to the length of the RET signal cable connected to Q-TV.
SDI output (D1)
SDI output (D1) is enabled.
Q-TV output (optional)
Equipped with the Q-TV module, the MA-500 assures Q-TV transmission when the Q-TV module
is mounted to the CA-65 camera adaptor.
Applicable remote controllers
RM-51, RCP-50B, and OCP-399 are available for MA-500 Camera Control Unit.
Note:
RCP-50 memory card function
No files saved using the HL-65W camera head memory card function can be loaded by the RCP-50
remote controller if connection is established between the MA-500 and RCP-50 remote controller.
Files saved by the RCP-50 remote controller also fail to load when using the HL-65W camera head
memory card function. Files saved by the camera head memory card or the RCP-50 remote
controller can only be loaded using the respective device.
