Operation differs as follows when controlling AW‑HE60 and AW‑HE50
• During auto iris (when the auto iris button indicator is on), the shutter speed is adjusted automatically The shutter speed value set from the unit is
not immediately reflected for the camera output images at that time but instead is reflected when manual iris (when the auto iris indicator turns off) is
set
• While the shooting mode is set to “FullAuto”, the following occurs
· Auto gain mode is fixed and the gain setting value cannot be changed from “AUTO”
· ATW mode is fixed and the R and B gain setting values cannot be changed
· Auto iris is fixed and the shutter speed setting value cannot be changed
With the AW‑HE2, some operations differ from those described in this section Refer to “Operations of AW‑HE2” (page 51)

The setting value is displayed on the LCD panel during setting
When the PED dial is pressed, the setting value does not change
and is only displayed
PED : +150
Setting the white balance
Adjust the ratio between R, G, and B (the three primary colors) so that
white will be reproduced accurately
When the white balance is off, not only will white be reproduced poorly
but the color tone of the entire picture will also deteriorate
The white balance needs to be set when the lighting conditions and
brightness have changed The white balance must also be adjusted
when using a remote camera for the first time or when a remote camera
has not been used for a prolonged period of time
The white balance can be adjusted automatically or manually (fine
adjustment after automatic adjustment), and results can be stored in
two memory areas (A and B) of the remote camera The result in a
memory area can be recalled by pressing the WHITE BAL A button or
WHITE BAL B button on the unit
In addition, you can select the auto tracking white balance (ATW) mode
for automatically tracking the white balance in accordance with the
lighting conditions
Automatically adjusting the white balance

conditions, and then perform adjustment again
4 Press the WHITE BAL B button to turn on its indicator
5 Press the AWB button
Similar to step 3, the adjustment results are saved to memory B
When the white balance is adjusted automatically, the R and
B GAIN setting values become “±0”

(PRESET SPEED)
The speed (PRESET SPEED) at which to move to the set position when
preset memory is recalled can be set from the unit
With this unit, you can select from the following two PRESET SPEED
recall modes
Move at the common PRESET SPEED set for the remote cameras
Move at the PRESET SPEED registered for each preset number of
the unit
This allows the remote cameras to be operated at a different speed for
each preset number depending on operation, enabling video playback at
a variety of speeds
The movement speeds registered in the procedure below are
registered to the corresponding camera numbers in the unit, and

Therefore, if the recall mode is set to “On” and the preset memory
is recalled on a controller other than the AW‑RP120 on which the
movement speed was registered, movement will be at a different
speed even in the case of the same preset number

Operating preset memory groups (PMEM GROUP)
The unit allows you register up to four “preset memory groups” created
by selecting one preset memory for each of multiple remote cameras
Pressing any of the PM GRP 1 to PM GRP 4 buttons simultaneously
recalls all preset memory registered to the corresponding preset
memory group
The following setting procedures use the example of setting
PMEM GROUP1 but the setting procedures are the same for
PMEM GROUP2 to PMEM GROUP4

Operating tracing memory (TMEM)
The unit incorporates tracing memory (TMEM) for recording a series of
operations that were performed for a connected remote camera
This feature allows you to duplicate the recorded operations of a remote
camera
<Tracing memory>
Recording target Camera numbers CAM1 to CAM10
Functions that
can be recorded
Pan, tilt, zoom, focus, iris, and white balance
mode
Recording time Up to 5 minutes per camera
Number of
recording
memory
Up to 10 per camera
Record buttons Number buttons [1] to [10]
If the MEM ENABLE button indicator is off, tracing memory
operation is not possible Perform operation while the button
indicator is on
Preset numbers PMEM 1 to 10 of the preset memory are used
as start positions at the time of recalling tracing memory so they
are overwritten when the tracing memory registration operation is
performed
The last point when tracing memory is recalled may not match
that at the time of recording because of the error of movement of
the remote camera
Taking precautions such as the following can help reduce the
error
• Use the lens zoom at the WIDE side (wide‑angle end)
• Perform pan, tilt, zoom, and focus operations slowly
• Set a short recording time
Execute tracing memory recalling several times to sufficiently
check the operation of the remote camera before you begin
operation
