Chapter 9 Setting Up the Camcorder

9-10 Connecting the Remote Control Unit
Structure of the paint adjustment data
As the illustration above shows, the non-volatile memory
of the camcorder consists of two regions: one is the
independent data region that becomes effective when the
remote control unit is not connected, and the other is the
remote control data region that becomes effective when the
remote control unit is connected. Paint adjustment data is
automatically selected depending on whether or not the
remote control unit is connected to the camcorder.
Thus, when the remote control unit is connected to the
camcorder, the effective data region is switched to the
remote control data region and the settings of the paint
adjustment that were in effect the last time the remote
control unit was used are recalled.
Settings of the absolute value control knobs
1)
and absolute
value switches
2)
are overwritten by those on the remote
control unit after the remote control unit is connected.
1) Absolute value control knob
The data corresponding to the rotation degree (position) of the control
knobs is output. The data corresponding to the rotation amount is called
the relative value control knob.
2) Absolute value switch
Like the toggle switches or slide switches (except the momentary
switches), the switches (or controls) whose positions must coincide with
their functions are called absolute value switches.
When the remote control unit is removed from the
camcorder, the independent data region becomes effective.
Thus the camcorder will return to the settings that were in
effect before the remote control unit was connected.
When RM COMMON MEMORY is set to ON on the
FUNCTION 3 page of the MAINTENANCE menu, you
can use settings of the paint adjustment data stored in the
independent data region even if you connect the remote
control unit. In this case, the settings stored in the
independent data region will be renewed when you change
the settings on the remote control unit. Thus, the settings
of the paint data made with the remote control unit can be
retained even if the remote control unit is removed.
However, if the switch position on the remote control unit
differs from the one on the camcorder, the switch position
on the camcorder takes precedence over that on the remote
control unit.
Also, it is possible to keep the settings that are in effect
before you connect the remote control unit. In this case,
you should set the control knob to the relative value mode
on the remote control unit.
For details, refer to the operation manual supplied with
the remote control unit.
