h Optical signal condition indicators
Displays the communications link optical signal level condition
between the video camera, CCU, and the unit.
CAMTBPU: Signal level from the unit to the video camera
CAMtBPU: Signal level from the video camera to the unit
BPUTCCU: Signal level from the CCU to the unit
BPUtCCU: Signal level from the unit to the CCU
Indicates the receive signal status according to the following
indicators.
Two green indicators (right): Receive signal condition is very
good.
One green indicator (2nd from right): Receive signal
condition is OK.
One yellow indicator (2nd from left): Receive signal level is

Rear Panel

a REMOTE connector (round type, 8-pin)
Connects to an RCP-1000 series Remote Control Panel or
MSU-1000 Master Setup Unit using a CCA-5 connection
cable. Remote control signals are transmitted and received via
this connector. It also supplies power when connected to an
RCP-1000 series Remote Control Panel.
Note
When connected to a CCU, do not connect anything to this
connector.
b REFERENCE IN/OUT (reference sync signal)
connectors
• IN connector (BNC type) (left)
Inputs an external HD tri-level sync signal or SD reference
sync signal (black burst signal).
The type of reference signal is detected automatically and can
be checked in the setup menu.
Note
When connected to a CCU, do not connect anything to this
connector.

i NETWORK indicator
Displays the network system connection status.
On: Indicates that an external control device (MSU-1000
Master Setup Unit or RCP-1000 series Remote Control
Panel) is connected when the CNS MODE setting in <CNS
SETTING> is set to BRIDGE.
Flashing: Indicates that an external control device (MSU-
1000 Master Setup Unit or RCP-1000 series Remote
Control Panel) is not connected successfully when the
CNS MODE setting in <CNS SETTING> is set to BRIDGE.
Off: Indicates that the LAN cable is not connected or network
system connection parameters have not been set when
the CNS MODE setting in <CNS SETTING> is set to
BRIDGE.
The indicator is always off when CNS MODE is set to
LEGACY.

• OUT connector (BNC type) (right)
When a reference sync signal is input on the IN connector or
the unit is turned off, the signal input on the IN connector is
output as-is (loop through). Otherwise, this connector outputs
an SD composite sync signal or a HD tri-level signal from the
internal sync signal generator (HD tri-level signal set by factory
default).
Available only when used as a camera extension unit.
c
(LAN) connector (RJ-45 8-pin)
Connects to a LAN. Connect to a LAN hub (10BASE-
T/100Base-TX) using a LAN cable (shielded type, category 5
or higher).
d SDI1 and SDI2 (return video input) connectors (BNC
type)
Connects to 2-system, independent, 3G/HD-SDI return video
signal inputs. The SDI1/SDI2 selection is made using the
return switch on the video camera. The SDI2 connector
becomes the HD prompter input connector by enabling HD
PROMPTER on the <RETURN> page in the
CONFIGURATION menu.
Available only when used as a camera extension unit.
