Connecting the Remote Control Unit
Chapter 2 Preparations
Use the black cable supplied with the RM-B150/B750 to
connect the monitor to the MONITOR connector on the
RM-B150/B750.
The camcorder does not have a function to output test
signals.
Even when TEST is selected using the output signal
selection switch (button) of the remote control unit, the test
signal is not output from the MONITOR connector.
When the remote control unit is
disconnected from the camcorder
The camcorder settings return to the settings in effect
before the remote control unit was connected.
Structure of the paint adjustment data
The non-volatile memory of the camcorder used for
storing paint adjustment data consists of two regions as
shown below: one is the “independent data region” that is
used when a remote control unit is not connected, and the
other is the “remote control data region” that is used when
a remote control unit is connected. Paint adjustment data is
automatically selected and output to the camera section
depending on whether or not a remote control unit such as
the RM-B150 is connected.
Thus, when a 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.
The settings of the absolute value rotational controls
1)
and
absolute value switches
2)
are overwritten by those on the
remote control unit after the remote control unit is
connected.
When the remote control unit is disconnected 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.
1) Absolute value rotational controls: The data corresponding to the
angular position of controls is output. Rotational controls for which the
data corresponding to the amount of their rotation is output are called
relative value controls.
2) Absolute value switches: Like toggle switches or slide switches (except
momentary switches), the switches (or knobs) whose positions must
coincide with their functions are called absolute value switches.
