Connecting a Portable VTR

Using the optional CA-537/537P or CA-327/327P
Camera Adaptor and a camera cable, you can connect
a portable VTR. Set the VTR selector switch on the
camera adaptor according to the VTR connected.
If using a VTR from another manufacturer, consult your
Sony dealer.
Checks before making connections
Check first that the video camera, camera adaptor,
VTR, and other devices are all powered off.
Making connections
Using a camera cable, connect the VTR/CCU/CMA
connector on the camera adaptor to the camera input
connector of the VTR.

Video monitor
• If using an S-VHS VTR, using a video monitor with
an S-video input connector and connecting it to the S-
video connector of the VTR will allow you to
monitor a clear picture, with no flecking.
• The output video signal from the VIDEO OUT
connector of this unit is a composite video signal.
Connect the VIDEO OUT connector of this unit to a
composite video signal input connector of the
monitor.
Setting the VTR selector switch on the
camera adaptor
When using the camera with a CA-537/537P/327/327P
Camera Adaptor, it is essential to correctly set the
VTR selector switch on the camera adaptor according
to the VTR connected. This switch determines the
type of video signal output from the VTR/CCU/CMA
connector and the audio output signal level.

Connecting a Number of Cameras (Using a Camera Control Unit)
When using a number of cameras in the studio, it may
be necessary to use a CCU-M5/M5P/M7/M7P Camera
Control Unit to provide video and color sync between
cameras, and special effects and other devices to allow
switching, wipes and so forth.
In the studio it may also be convenient to use a DXF-
41/51 Viewfinder.
