$ Providing cable compensation for the cameras
Make these adjustments using the AW-RC400 cable compensation unit.
1 Connect a waveform monitor to the video output connector on the AW-RC400\
, and set the signals supplied to the
corresponding video input connector to color bar signals.
\b Set the waveform monitor to the H rate (see figure below), and while m\
onitoring the rise and fall sections of the
waveforms, set the cable length setting switch at the point where the un\
dershoot and overshoot are kept to the minimum.
At this time, keep the Y LEVEL control and F RESPONSE control at their c\
enter positions.
3 Turn the F RESPONSE control, and adjust in such a way that the undershoo\
t and overshoot of the waveforms in the rise
and fall sections are kept to the minimum. If the adjustment range of th\
e control is exceeded, see if another setting can be
selected for the cable length setting switch.
4 Next, use the Y LEVEL control to obtain the prescribed video level.
5 With component signals, while observing the Y signal on the waveform mon\
itor in the same way as with the composite
signals, use the cable length setting switch, F RESPONSE control and Y L\
EVEL control to adjust the cable compensation
in such a way that the prescribed video signals are obtained.
6 Next, view the Y, Pr and Pb signals in their entirety, and re-adjust the\
 F RESPONSE control and Y LEVEL control in such
a way that the optimum cable compensation is provided.
7 With Y/C signals as well, first adjust the Y signal in the same way as w\
ith the component signals, view both the Y and C
signals, and adjust in such a way that the optimum cable compensation is\
 provided.
