Overview
≥ This remote operation panel (ROP) is used to control a multi-format camera (AK-HC931P) and a camera control unit (CCU). An
optical fiber cable is used to connect the multi-format camera and CCU, and a dedicated multi-cable (optional accessory) is used
to connect the ROP and CCU.
≥ When the designated multi-cable is used to connect the ROP and CCU, the distance between these two components can be
extended to a maximum of 50 meters.

Operating precautions
≥ The panel’s power is supplied from the camera control unit (AK-HCU931P).
≥ Handle the panel carefully.
Dropping the panel or subjecting it to strong impact may cause malfunctioning and failures.
≥ Operate the panel within a temperature range of 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C).
Operation in locations below 32 °F or above 104 °F may adversely affect the internal parts.
≥ Turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting the cables.
≥ Do not use the ROP outdoors.
≥ Maintenance
Disconnect the multi-cable, and wipe the panels with a dry cloth. To remove stubborn dirt, soak a cloth in some diluted kitchen
detergent and wring it out well, and then wipe the panels gently.
<Caution>
≥ Avoid using benzine, paint thinners and other volatile substances.
≥ If a chemically treated cleaning cloth is to be used, read the precautions for its use carefully.

Lighted: The lamp of the switch lights when the CCU power
is turned on. When communication with the
camera is enabled, the settings at which the
panel's switches are selected are established. The
panel is set on the basis of the camera setting
information also immediately after the ROP ON
switch is pressed and its lamp is lighted. However,
if it is judged that communication with the camera
has been cut off, the setting at which the panel’s
switches are selected will not be established, and
the ROP ON switch lamp will remain lighted.

while the indicator is off, the auto setup start
preparation mode is established, and a square
marker appears in the center of the camera's
viewfinder. Roughly align this square with the
white at the gray scale center. Auto setup now
starts when the side switch is pressed. If the
switch is pressed for 1 or more seconds, auto
setup is canceled.

R, G, B gain controls [R, G, B GAIN]
Iris/master pedestal control joystick [IRIS/PED]
The iris level of the lens is adjusted by moving the joystick up
and down, and the master pedestal is adjusted by turning it.
These are used for the red (R), green (G) and blue (B)
adjustments of the white balance. When the auto white
balance can be performed and the R, G or B gain control is
turned, the gain control value on the LCD display changes.
When in the auto iris mode:
The iris can be adjusted manually.
When not in the auto iris mode:
The auto iris level is adjusted.
H
R, G, B black controls [R, G, B FLARE]
Whether these controls are to be used to adjust the flare or
pedestal can be set on the menu. They are used for the red
(R), green (G) and blue (B) black adjustments. When the
auto black balance can be performed and the R, G or B
black control is turned, the flare or pedestal control value on
the LCD display changes.
Since the master pedestal adjustment is independent of the
R, G and B pedestal adjustments, the R, G and B pedestal
adjustment values remain unchanged even when the master
pedestal is changed.
N
Iris active switch [IRIS ACTIVE]
This makes it possible to adjust the iris. When its lamp is off,
the iris cannot be controlled from this panel. If the switch is

I
DTL control [DTL]
This is used to increment or decrement (paint) the detail
control settings (H-DTL and V-DTL adjustment values which
are set on this panel’s LCD display).
By setting this panel’s DTL HD and SD switches, the effect of
the DTL control can be applied to the HDTV video output or
