Notes when connecting the two BKDW-515
. Setup Setting Data
The Current Setup setting data inside of the BKDW-515
is transferred to the VTR just after the communication
between the BKDW-515 and VTR are established. The
ALARM LED on the front panel blinks during the data
communication is incomplete.
When the two BKDW-515 are connected to a single
VTR, last setting data out of two is written over the
former data as the effective setting data.
If the two BKDW-515 with different data setting are
connected to a single VTR, and if the power is turned to
ON simultaneously, un-defined setting data will be sent
to the VTR. Therefore, first, connect either BKDW-515
to a single VTR for storing the Current Setup setting data
in bank memory of VTR or in the memory card before-
hand. After that, connect the two BKDW-515 to a single
VTR, turn on the power of both BKDW-515, then copy
the memorized data into Current Setup. The Current
Setup setting data among the two BKDW-515 and VTR
will be automatically renewed to keep the contents of
data identical.
. VTR Control
Control of VTR is set by an INT/EXT selection of the
System Setup Panel and ITEM 117 “CONTROL PAN-
EL SELECTION” of the setup menu.
Notes when connection the BKDW-514 and
BKDW-515 (Extender)
When connecting the BKDW-514 and BKDW-515
(Extender) to VTR, be sure to turn on the power of
BKDW-515 first. If the power of BKDW-515 is in off,
start up a menu system (SETUP MENU BANK 1/2/3/4:
BANK 4 is effective from SYS-V3.01 and later) of DVW-
500 series, therefore the contents set with BKDW-515 can
not be used. If MENU lamps 1, 2, and 3 on the indicator
section of VTR’s upper control panel are off, the contents
set with BKDW-515 can be used.
Pay attention when pressing the MENU button without
pressing the SET button after renewing the Setup setting
data with BKDW-514, because renewed data will be
validated if both BKDW-514 and BKDW-515 have been
connected regardless of SET button. However, renewed
data will be invalidated if the only BKDW-514 has been
connected.
