Product Information Manual

P r r o d u c t t F e a t t u r r e

The VC-P840U provides a direct video signal connection between the JVC’s HD studio Viewfinder (VF-HP840U) and the

GY-HD250U/GY-HD200UB. This cable carries the camera’s RGB, CMP or a Y signal depending on the Camera’s VF menu setting. The Tally and Preview signal is sent from the camera to the VF-HP840U via serial communication. This cable does not provide power to the camcorder. It is approximately 2ft long.

U s e r r B e n e f f i i t t

This cable gives the Studio System Integrator the flexibility of using the VF-HP840U in studio applications that do not use the studio sled (KA-HD250U); such as when a third party CCU manufactured by Telecast Fiber or Camplex is used.

Owners of the GY-HD250U and GY-HD200UB also have the choice of using the high definition VF-HP840U in non studio applications that require a viewfinder with built in features such as safety markers, focus assist, and zebras in non studio applications that require critical focus and VF functionality.

Required Camcorder and VF-HP840U settings

When using this cable:

• Set the GY-HD250U/GY-HD200U(B) Camera’s “VF Signal” in the “LCD/VF” menu group to “COMPONENT”.

• Set the VF-HP840U’s Dip Switch4 to “OFF”. This terminates the video inputted into the studio Viewfinder with 75 ohms.

Dip switch is located on the bottom of the VF-HP840U under a cover plate. Remove two screws from cover plate and take cover off to expose dip switch
