TALLY lamp and TALLY switch
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.
Turning the S101 switch on the internal AU-294 board to 
ON mixes and outputs the battery alarm signal to the 
TALLY lamp.
RET 1 button, RET button and RET 2/3/4 switch
RET1 (return video 1) button
While this button is pressed down, the return video1 signal 
from the CCU (camera control unit) can be monitored in 
the viewfinder or on a monitor connected to the RETURN 
connector.
RET (return video) button
While this button is pressed down, the return video signal 
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.
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.
PGM  (program audio) 1/2 level controls (for the 
CA-590)
These controls adjust the audio volume of the program. 
PGM level controls are provided for both intercom 1 and 2.
Triax connector
Connects a CCU-550D/550DP/590/590P/700A/700AP/
790/790P Camera Control Unit through a triax cable.
INCOM level controls, PROD/ENG switches, and 
MIC LEVEL switches (for the CA-590)
INCOM (intercom) level controls
These controls adjust the audio reception level of the 
intercom 1/2.
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.
OFF/REAR:  Turns off the intercom microphone. Turn 
the intercom microphone on and off using the control 
on the external equipment connected to the RET 
CTRL connector.  Adjust the intercom reception level 
with the INCOM level control.
OFF/FRONT:  Turns off the intercom microphone.  Turn 
the intercom microphone on and off using the control 
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.
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.  
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.
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.
DC IN (direct current input) connector (4-pin)
Connects an AC adapter or battery case.  Supplies power 
to the CA-590/590P when the POWER switch is set to 
EXT.
RETURN (return video output) connector (BNC 
type)
Outputs the return video signal.
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.
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.
