CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,

DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).

NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.

REFER TO SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol,

within an equilateral triangle, is intended to

alert the user to the presence of uninsulated

“dangerous voltage” within the product’s

enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude

to constitute a risk of electric shock to

persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral

triangle is intended to alert the user to the

presence of important operating and

maintenance (service) instructions in the

literature accompanying the appliance.

CAUTION:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR SHOCK

HAZARD AND ANNOYING INTERFERENCE,

USE THE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES

ONLY.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR SHOCK

HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS

FCC Note:

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

To assure continued compliance follow the attached

installation instructions and do not make any

unauthorized modifications.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply

with the limits for a class A digital device, pursuant to

Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed

to provide reasonable protection against harmful

interference when the equipment is operated in a

commercial environment. This equipment generates,

uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if

not installed and used in accordance with the

instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to

radio communications. Operation of this equipment in

a residential area is likely to cause harmful

interference in which case the user will be required to

correct the interference at his own expense.

Thank you very much for purchasing this AJ-BS900P Base Station (referred to throughout these instructions as “the unit”).

The unit is connected to a DVCPRO or DVCPRO50 camera recorder to configure a transmission system which uses a tri-axial cable

to enable the camera recorder to be operated as a system camera.

Use of non-compressed wide-band 360 Mbps serial component signals makes high picture quality transmission possible so that the

high picture quality of the images shot by the DVCPRO camera recorder are transmitted with their high picture quality kept intact.

This serves to expand the range of the DVCPRO camera recorder’s operating formats.

Notes

≥≥When the unit is connected, external input signals cannot be recorded on tape inside the camera

recorder.

“CAM” must be selected as the REC SIGNAL setting on the REC/PB/RET menu of the camera

recorder.

≥≥For details on mounting the spacer provided with the AJ-CA900P camera adapter used in

combination with the unit, consult your dealer.

Depending on the version of the software being used with the camera recorder, it may be necessary

to update it, in which case you should consult your dealer.

The unit has the following features.

≥It enables high picture quality transmission by means of non-compressed wide-band 360 Mbps serial component signals.

≥It uses a tri-axial cable.

≥It enables a DVCPRO camera recorder to be operated as a system camera.

≥It enables transmission up to 2000 meters when three AJ-RP900P Repeaters are used. (*1)

≥It enables the transmission of the signals of two audio channels.

≥It enables RET 1CH and PROMPT 1CH transmission.

≥It has a compact size equivalent to one-half of a rack unit.

≥It can also be operated using DC power.

≥It can perform the VTR operations of the camera recorder. (*2)

Features

*1 The power supply is subject to limitations. Consult your dealer when configuring the system.

*2 During VTR playback operations (PLAY, FF or REW), the BS output pictures and sound will be switched to the playback mode. Under the current version,

however, the images of the camera will be viewed since the playback board has not been installed. As far as the audio signals are concerned, the signals

on the tape will be output from BS during VTR playback operations (PLAY, FF or REW): this means that care should be taken when the camera recorder’s

microphone is used.

Bear in mind the following checkpoints when connecting the camera recorder to the unit’s system.

1Remember that if the power is turned on or off while the camera’s menu is open, the menu will appear on the viewfinder.

2When the unit is connected, the RET SW operations will be canceled on the camera’s REC/PB/RET menu.

3When connecting the unit to a camera recorder, do not supply the signals to the GENLOCK connector on the camera.

4The triax and ECU (extension control unit) cannot be used at the same time for the camera recorder.

5When the triax is connected, some of the settings (such as GAIN, CAM-BAR SW, WHITE BAL and SHUTTER) selected by

the switches on the camera recorder will not take effect.

6When the triax is connected, the composite video signals (CAM OUT, VIDEO OUT) of the camera recorder will be non-

standard signals.
