PROVIDED ACCESSORIES AND DOCUMENTS
PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
When an intercom is used, radio interference may occa-
sionally affect any system that is connected to the RM-P210.
In such a case the INTERCOM G (GND) terminal provided
to the RM-P210 should be grounded.
In a multiple camera setup, if the adjustments made to the
different cameras deviate significantly, the cameras may not
be able to function satisfactorily. Be sure to adjust the cam-
eras accordingly before using them with the RM-P210.
Use camera cables with standard lengths, as specified.
Otherwise, the camera cable compensation may not be able
to work efficiently.
The RM-P210 can be connected to the following cameras:
● GY-DV550
● KY-D29
● KY-D29W
● KY-27C
● KY-19
For the viewfinder to be used with each camera model, see
page 7. The controllable functions vary depending on the
camera model.
: "Functions Available Depending on Camera
Models" on page 28.
When connecting the RM-P210 to the camera, do not con-
nect a local remote controller to the camera.
If the RM-P210 is rack-mounted, be sure to insert venti-
lated panels above and below it in order to improve ventila-
tion. Do not stack two RM-P210 units or place any object on
top of a RM-P210 unit.
To save power consumption, turn the RM-P210 OFF when
it is not in use.
Power cord Instructions
Camera control using serial communication
The camera control signals are sent by the serial data trans-
mission method.
The camera and the RM-P210 are connected by two data
lines so that the CPUs incorporated in the camera and the
RM-P210 are in intercommunication, thus facilitating accu-
rate camera control operations.
Multiple output circuits
In addition to two composite video output circuits (VBS),
the R/G/B component signals, Y/R-Y/B-Y component sig-
nals or separate Y/C signals (for S-VHS VCR) can be se-
lected according to the purpose or application.
