Basic Operations
Switching of the video signals is performed by pressing the RET switch on the lens or the
RET switch on the camera adapter. Return video is output from this unit while the RET
switch is pressed.
Also, if there is a tally signal either from the camera recorder or the base station, it is also
output from this unit, and the tally LED on the viewfinder can be turned on. However, the tally
LED on the camera adapter is turned on only by the tally signal from the base station.
With the system combining the base station and the camera adapter, it is possible to select
the HD or SD video signal as a return video.
If the system is HD, either HD or SD return video can be selected.
If the system is SD, the return video will only be SD video signal.
The camera system (HD/SD), return video (HD/SD), and the viewfinder can be used in the
following combinations:
