• When the studio card AW-PB301 is installed in a
convertible camera, for example, AW-E300, R/G/B
or Y/Pr/Pb component signals can be output.
• When the studio card AW-PB305 is installed, only

output.
SPECIAL NOTES ON OPERATION
• Power Off Before Connecting or Disconnecting
Cables
Before plugging or unplugging the cables, be sure
to switch power off.
• Avoid Humidity and Dust.
Avoid using the product at a humid, dusty place
because much humidity and dust will cause dam-
age to the parts inside.

Do not drop the product, or subject it to strong
shock or vibration. This is important to prevent trou-
ble.
Avoid using the product at a cold place below -
10°C or at a hot place above +45°C because
extremely low or high temperature will adversely
affect the parts inside.

PRECAUTIONS
• Ask a qualified service person for repairs when
necessary.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the camera, Remote
Control Unit (RCU) or other units. In order to pre-
vent electric shock, do not remove screws or cov-
ers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Do not let water, metal, or other foreign objects
inside. This is important to prevent fire and electric
shock.
