Warning:
CAUTION
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency
energy and if not installed and used properly, i.e., in
strict accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications.
It has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart J of
Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide
reasonable protection against such interference when
operated in a commercial environment.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

WARNING:
TO PREVENT FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
R/G/B:
The R, G and B signals are supplied from the
R, G and B Output Connector.
Y/PR/PB:
14. Gen-lock input connector (BNC) (GEN-LOCK)
The color video signal of the camera is automatical-
ly synchronized to the Gen-lock signal (composite
or black burst) which is supplied to this connector.
The gen-lock signal is used for system reference,
such as when using a Special Effects Generator.
Caution:
The color difference (R-Y & B-Y) signals and
luminance (Y) signal are supplied from the
VTR/RCU Connector (18) and the R, G and B
Output Connectors on the Remote Control Unit
for MII and Betacam format VTRs.
If the gen-lock signal is jittery (such as when
obtained from VTR playback), the camera may
not be able to synchronize properly.
9. VTR Compatibility Switch (!1/!2/@1)
Set this switch according to the VTR which is con-
nected to the camera.
15. Multiplex Signal input Connector (MPX)
Communications between the camera side and the
Remote Control Unit (RCU) are available through a
single coaxial cable by using this connector as the
composite signal, gen-lock signal, control signal
and intercom/audio signal are multiplexed, and the
composite signal is output from the Remote control
Unit (RCU).
!1: For 1/2” VHS VTRs.
!2: For 3/4” U-vision VTRs, connected to the cam-
era using a 14-pin connector, S-VHS VTRs and
MII portable VTRs.
@1: If a VTR of other manufacture is used, and if
this VTR pauses when the tape should be run-
ning and vice versa, this switch should be set
to this position.
16. External DC Input Connector (XLR, 4-pin) (EXT
DC)
Notes:
1) The switch has been preset to the !1 position
at the factory.
2) Some VTRs may not operate properly when
connected to this camera, even though the set-
ting of this switch is changed. Please consult
your dealer for further information.
This connector accepts the power cable from an
external DC source supplying nominal power of
12 V, 2 A (a belt type battery or car battery for
example). This connector also accepts the power
cable from an AC adaptor. For powering the studio
configuration, a 12 V DC, 2.5 A power source is
required.
10. Earphone Out Selection Switch (INT/PB)
Cautions:
This switch selects the audio signal from the
Earphone Jack (7) to be monitored.
INT:
Use only with a 12V DC power source with a
Class 2 rating. Do not use with an external stor-
age battery unless provided with an 8A rated
fuse, located within 5 inches of the battery con-
necting means.
The sound picked up by the microphone can
be monitored.
PB:
An eternal DC source supplied to this connec-
tor gets the highest priority, i.e., it is selected
before the battery connector or Multicore/
VTR/DC source.
The played back audio can be monitored.
Note:
The camera has been preset to the INT posi-
tion at the factory.
17. Circuit Protector (BREAKER)
When excessive current flows into the camera due
to some fault, the red button of this circuit protector
protrudes to cut off the circuit power. After solving
the problem, press the red button again to reset the
circuit protector.
11. Audio Level Selection Switch
(AUDIO LEVEL –20/–60 dB)
Two audio output levels to the VTR can be select-
ed: –20 dB or –60 dB
The camera has been preset to –20 dB at the facto-
ry.
Caution:
When using this adaptor with WV-RC700A, set this
switch to the –20 dB position.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel
to solve the problem.
12. Cable Selection Switch (VTR MULTI/MPX)
This switch is used to select either the multi-cable
VTR/RCU cable or the single coaxial multiplex
cable. When using the multi-cable in the VTR or
Remote Control Unit (RCU), set this switch to VTR
MULTI position. In case of the multiplex or VP multi-
plex operation using a coaxial cable, set this switch
to MPX position.
18. VTR/RCU Connector (26-pin) (VTR/RCU)
When using the camera together with a Panasonic
portable color VTR, the specified VTR Cable should
be connected between the camera and VTR. This
connector is also used for connection with the 26-
pin studio cable from the Remote Control Unit
(RCU) for comprehensive system operation. When
connecting the 26-pin studio cable to this connec-
tor, the camera is automatically set to the Remote
Control Unit (RCU) operation mode.
Note:
Video Power (VP) Multiplex system: multiplex
signal and power are supplied using a single
coaxial cable.

22. Recording/Tally Indicator (red) (REC TALLY)
This indicator lights when the VTR is set to the
recording mode (through the VTR Start/Stop
Button), and informs the person concerned of
scenes being recorded. The Tally indicator also
lights when the camera is in full system operation
together with the Remote Control Unit and Special
Effects Generator. In case a tape is not loaded or
the tape end is reached, or if the servo mechanism
is working improperly, this indicator will start blink-
ing to warn the operator of such faults.

If a portable VTR is not connected to the cam-
era, the Recording/Tally Indicator will not light.
