FEATURES
• The Multi Hybrid Control Panel AW-RP505 is combined
with the Multiport Hub (AW-HB505) to control up to five
Pan/tilt Heads (AW-PH300) and Color Video Cameras
(AW-E560). With the Control Panel AW-RP505 con-
nected to the multiport hub with three coaxial cables
(5C-2V) and a single 10BASE-T straight cable (UTP
category 5), and with the Multiport Hub connected to
each camera and pan/tilt head with three coaxial
cables (5C-2V) and a single 10BASE-T straight cable
(UTP category 5), the Control Panel performs various
kinds of control on the cameras and pan/tilt heads,
and sends and receives camera video signals and
genlock signals.
• The maximum cable length from this control panel to
the Multiport Hub is 10 meters. The maximum cable
length between the multiport hub and the cameras and
pan/tilt heads is 500 meters.
• Head pan/tilt and lenz zoom/focus can be controlled at
varying speeds with the servo control, and can be pre-
set at up to 10 points per pan/tilt head.
• With the auxiliary control input connector (AUX CON-
TROL IN), pan/tilt, zoom, focus, and iris operations can
be externally controlled.

shock can cause a failure or an accident.
• Operating temperature range –10°C to +45°C
Avoid using it in a cold place below –10°C or a hot
place above +45°C because low or high temperature
will adversely affect the parts inside.
• Switch power off before power cable connection or
disconnection.
Be sure to switch power off before connecting or dis-
connecting the power cable.
• Avoid outdoor use.
• Install the control panel more than 1 meter away
from the monitors.
• Do not use benzine, paint thinner, or other volatile
liquids.
• When using a chemical duster, carefully read the
caution notes on its use.
Note

$7 Preview Video Output Connector [PREVIEW
MONITOR OUT] (BNC Connector)
The video signals of the camera selected with CON-
TROL Switch @2 are output from this connector so that
the selected camera can be visually confirmed.
Connect this connector to the monitor video input with
a coaxial cable.
Note: The preview video signals are for confirmation
of which camera has been selected, so the picture
quality proper to the camera cannot be guaran-
teed. To output camera video signals, use video
output connector [VIDEO OUT] or S-video output
connector [S-VIDEO OUT] on the Multiport Hub.

$9 Speed Switch Changing Switch
[SPEED SW CHANGE, LOW/HIGH]
Changes the polarity of SPEED Switch @9. If ZOOM
lever #6, FOCUS Lever #7, or PAN/TILT Lever #8 is
moved while keeping SPEED Switch @9 depressed,
the corresponding operation takes place at low
speed, provided that SPEED SW CHANGE Switch $9
is in the LOW position. If one of these levers is
moved with SPEED Switch @9 depressed when
SPEED SW CHANGE Switch $9 is in the HIGH posi-
tion, the corresponding operation takes place at high
speed.
The speed polarity can also be changed by pressing
MEMORY Switch @7 while keeping SPEED Switch @9
depressed. When this step is taken again, the origi-
nal speed polarity is restored. Take this step if it is
difficult to shift SPEED SW CHANGE Switch $9
because this control panel is mounted on a console
or the like.
%0 Zoom Reverse Switch
[ZOOM REVERSE, NORM/REV]
Changes the operating direction of ZOOM Lever #6.
The lens zoom moves toward TELE when ZOOM
Lever #6 is moved toward TELE, or toward WIDE
when it is moved toward WIDE, provided that ZOOM
REVERSE Switch %0 is in the NOR position. When
ZOOM REVERSE Switch %0 is set to the REV posi-
tion, lens zoom operation takes place in the opposite
direction. With ZOOM REVERSE Switch %0 in the

REV position, the operating directions shown on the
panel are reversed. In this case, paste the supplied
seal on the panel.
%1 Zoom/Focus Exchange Switch
(ZOOM/FOCUS EXCHANGE, ON/OFF]
ZOOM Lever #6 and FOCUS Lever #7 exchange their
function between them when this switch is set to the
ON position. Unless this exchange is needed, keep
the switch in the OFF position.
With ZOOM/FOCUS EXCHANGE Switch %1 in the ON
position, the operations shown on the panel do not
agree with the indications on the panel. In this case,
paste the supplied seal on the panel.
%2 Focus Reverse Switch
[FOCUS REVERSE, NOR/REV]
Changes the operating direction of FOCUS Lever #7.
The lens is focused far when FOCUS Lever #7 is
moved toward FAR, or near when the lever is moved
toward NEAR, provided that FOCUS REVERSE Switch
%2 is in the NOR position. When FOCUS REVERSE
Switch %2 is set to the REV position, the lens focus
operates in the opposite direction.
With FOCUS REVERSE Switch %2 in the REV position,
the operating directions shown on the panel are oppo-
site to the indications on the panel. In this case, paste
the supplied seal on the panel.
%3 Tilt Reverse Switch [TILT REVERSE, NOR/REV]
Changes the tilt direction controlled by PAN/TILT Lever
#8. The pan/tilt head turns up when PAN/TILT Lever #8
is moved toward UP, or down when it is moved toward
DOWN, provided that TILT REVERSE Switch %3 is in
the NOR position. The pan/tilt head moves in the
opposite direction if the TILT REVERSE Switch %3 is in
the REV position.
With TILT REVERSE Switch %3 in the REV position, the
operating directions shown on the panel are opposite
to the indications on the panel. In this case, paste the
supplied seal on the panel.
%4 Pan Reverse Switch [PAN REVERSE, NOR/REV]
Changes the pan direction controlled by PAN/TILT
Lever #8. The pan/tilt head turns leftward when
PAN/TILT Lever #8 is moved toward LEFT, or rightward
if it moved toward RIGHT. The rotary head turns in the
opposite direction if the PAN REVERSE Switch %4 is in
the REV position, provided that PAN REVERSE Switch
%4 is in the NOR position. When PAN REVERSE Switch
is set to the REV position, the pan/tilt head turns in the
opposite directions.
With PAN REVERSE Switch %4 in the REV position, the
operating directions shown on the panel are opposite
to the indications on the panel. In this case, paste the
supplied seal on the panel.

Note: TILT REVERSE Switch %3 and PAN REVERSE
Switch %4 may be used to reverse the operating
direction of the pan/tilt head, but be sure to set the
operating direction of the pan/tilt head with its
mounting direction selection switch during its
installation depending on whether the pan/tilt head
is mounted on the floor or is suspended. Unless
the mounting direction selection switch on the
pan/tilt head is properly set, the pan/tilt head will
pan or tilt in the opposite direction and the pan/tilt
head operation limiters will not be properly stored
in the memory. For details on the setting of this
switch, refer to INSTALLATION OF PAN/TILT HEAD
at page 19 or the Operating Instructions for the
Pan/tilt Head.
