					on the external equipment connected to the RET   
					CTRL connector or the VTR S/S switch on the video   
					camera. Use the control on the video camera to adjust   
					the intercom reception level. Depending on the video   
					camera, intercom reception level adjustment requires   
					menu operation.   
					When the TALLY switch is ON, the TALLY lamp lights   
					when a red tally signal, green tally signal, or call signal is   
					input from the CCU.

					the viewfinder or on a monitor connected to the RETURN   
					connector.   
					g INCOM (intercom) 1/2 connectos   
					Connect headsets to enable the reception of program/   
					intercom audio and transmission of intercom audio.   
					Set the S3 switch on the internal MA-128 board to “CM”   
					when using headsets with a carbon-type microphone, and   
					set it to “DYN” when using headsets with a dynamic-type   
					microphone.   
					RET (return video) button

					from the CCU can be monitored in the viewfinder. Select   
					the monitored signal with the RET 2/3/4 switch.   
					RET 2/3/4 switch   
					Selects the return video signal to be monitored in the   
					viewfinder while the RET button is pressed down.   
					The INCOM 1 connector can be used for communications   
					through the engineer’s line even though the power to the   
					camera is turned off on the CCU-550D/550DP/590/590P/   
					700A/700AP/790/790P.   
					c LIGHT switch   
					Turns the backlight on the upper part of the panel and the   
					light on the connector section on or off. Depending on the   
					switch position, both lights turn on, only the light on the   
					connector section turns on, or both lights turn off.   
					h TRACKER connector (10-pin)   
					Used for communications with a tracker and intercom 1   
					and 2 communications. Also outputs the up tally and   
					program audio signals. The maximam current output from   
					this connector is 500 mA. Settings regarding the input/   
					output signals can be made on the internal AU-294 board.

					Connects an AC adapter or battery case. Supplies power   
					to the CA-590/590P when the POWER switch is set to   
					EXT.   
					e Triax connector   
					Connects a CCU-550D/550DP/590/590P/700A/700AP/   
					790/790P Camera Control Unit through a triax cable.   
					j RETURN (return video output) connector (BNC   
					f INCOM level controls, PROD/ENG switches, and   
					type)   
					MIC LEVEL switches (for the CA-590)   
					Outputs the return video signal.   
					INCOM (intercom) level controls   
					These controls adjust the audio reception level of the   
					intercom 1/2.   
					k PROMPTER (prompter video signal input/output)   
					connector (BNC type)   
					Inputs and outputs a prompter video signal. Use the S301   
					switch on the DM-139 internal board to select the   
					transmission direction (input or output) of the prompter   
					video signal. When the setting is made on the camera   
					adaptor, the transmission direction must be also changed   
					on the CCU.   
					PROD/ENG (producer/engineer) switches   
					Select the line for the microphone of the intercoms   
					connected to the respective INCOM connectors.   
					PROD: Selects the producer’s line.   
					ENG: Selects the engineer’s line.   
					MIC/LEVEL (microphone/intercom level) switches   
					The MIC and LEVEL settings specify the following   
					functions:   
					ON/REAR: Turns on the intercom microphone. Adjust   
					the intercom reception level with the INCOM level   
					control.   
					l DC OUT (direct current output) connector (4-pin)   
					Outputs a direct current of 10.5 V to 17 V at a maximum   
					rated current output of 1.5 A. Connecting equipment with   
					a power consumption greater than the maximum rating   
					will activate the protection circuit, cutting off the current   
					flow.

					FRONT: When this position is selected, audio volume of   
					the program, reception level of the intercom connected   
					to the TRACKER connector, and the reception level of   
					the engineer's line and the producer's line are adjusted   
					at one operation using the control on the video camera.   
					the external microphone:   
					MIC +48V: +48 V is supplied to the external microphone   
					through the AUDIO IN connector. Set to this position
