FEATURES
• The Multiport Hub AW-HB505 is combined with the
Multi-Hybrid Control Panel (AW-RP505) to control up to
five Pan/tilt Heads (AW-PH300) and Color Video
Cameras (AW-E560). When the Multiport Hub AW-
HB505 is connected to the Multi-Hybrid Control Panel
with three coaxial cables (5C-2V) and a single
10BASE-T Straight cable (UTP category 5), and 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), various
kinds of control can be performed on the cameras and
pan/tilt heads, and camera video signals and genlock
signals can be sent and received.
• The maximum cable length from the Multi-Hybrid
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.

• Install the pan/tilt head after carefully reading the
Operating Instructions for Pan/tilt Head.
• Have four hex bolts (M6 x 4) ready for mounting the
pan/title head. Select bolts of a length appropriate to
the material and structure of the mounting base and the
overall weight applied to it. Fasten the bolts securely
with plain washers, spring washers, and hex nuts. If
the bolts are not securely tightened, the pan/tilt head
might fall to cause injuries or accidents. In case of sus-
pending the pan/tilt head, locally purchase a wire rod
strong enough to hold the pan/tilt head, camera, and
lenses, pass it through the wire hole opened in a firm
board, such as of the ceiling, for example, and fasten it
securely.
• The switches on the pan/tilt head have been preset
before shipment from the factory on the assumption
that the pan/tilt head would be suspended from the
ceiling. If the pan/tilt head is mounted on a board, for
example, be sure to shift the mounting direction switch-
es on the pan/tilt head. Unless this is done, pan/tilt
directions will be reversed and pan/head operation lim-
iter data cannot be properly stored in the memory. For
details on shifting these switches, refer to the
Operating Instructions for Pan/tilt Head.

panel, set the mode switch to the BAR position, then
observe the color bar signals.
eAdjust the Y (luminance) signal level with the CABLE
COMP Y control for the corresponding camera pan/tilt
head number ([1] to [5]), then adjust the CABLE
COMP Y control then adjust the C (chrominance) sig-
nal level with CABLE COMP C control. Repeat this until
the video output of the control panel is adjusted as
shown in the figure below.
Note: Turning CABLE COMP Y control changes not
only the Y (luminance) signal level but also the
video signal levels as a whole.

• Genlock Adjustment
To use the camera in external sync mode, phase adjust-
ment is necessary to match the phases with those of the
other units and camera. No G/L adjustment is necessary in
case of no genlock.
• Horizontal Phase Adjustment
qSet G/L PHASE ON/OFF Switch of the multi hybrid con-
trol panel to the ON position.
Note: When G/L PHASE ON/OFF Switch of the multi
hybrid control panel is set to the ON position, the
sync phase of the camera changes to the settings
of G/L PHASE H Control, G/L PHASE Coarse
Switch, and G/L PHASE SC Control. Unless G/L
phase adjustment is necessary, do not set G/L
PHASE ON/OFF Switch to the ON position.
wObserve the waveforms of the G/L signal input (black
burst signal ) and video signal output on a dual chan-
nel oscilloscope, and turn the G/L horizontal phase
control to match the horizontal phase as shown in the
next page.
