Chapter 2 Fitting and Connections
Connecting a Camera Control Unit
You can connect CCU-M5A/M5AP Camera Control
Unit (CCU) to the VTR/CCU connector of this
camcorder.
Note the following when connecting a CCU.
• A CCU cannot be used at the same time as a remote
control device connected to the REMOTE1 or
REMOTE2 connector of this camcorder.
• When the camcorder is gen-locked to a CCU
reference signal, and then gen-locked to another
external reference signal, the other external reference
signal overrides the CCU reference signal for
camcorder gen-lock.
• The REC/TALLY indicator on the front of the DXF-
801/801CE viewfinder lights only when a CALL
signal is received from the CCU. It does not light or
flash during VTR recording or on errors.
• The interface gain of microphone input is –20 dB.
• When a CCU is connected to the camcorder and a
battery pack is attached to the camcorder, the battery
pack is automatically used as power supply for the
camcorder. Before switching camcorder power
supply between the battery pack, the CCU, and
another source, always turn off the camcorder’s
POWER switch.
• Before using a CCU, set the camcorder’s EZ mode to
OFF (see page 17). (The advanced menu does not
appear unless it is set to OFF.)
• The color matrix switching function of the CCU-
M5A/M5AP does not work with this camcorder.
• When the OUTPUT/DL/DCC+ item on page 2 of the
advanced menu is set to DL, the knee adjustment
function of the CCU-M5A/M5AP does not work.
