The new system is designed for a handheld camcorder and a shoulder type
camcorder to use as a studio camera under one multicore cable operation.
The system brings the Camera Adaptor DS-270/450 and the Base/Center Station
DS-550/850.
You can connect a camera adaptor and a base/center station via one multicore
