New Accessories for Tethered System: CA-F101
and HKSR-101
There are some occasions when a recording device needs
to be tethered from a camera, such as when the camera
itself has to be as small as possible (e.g., when shooting in
space-constrained areas) and when the recording device
needs to be consolidated in the base station (often referred
to as "video village" in Hollywood in the U.S.). Sony now offers
two new accessories, the CA-F101 Optical Fiber Camera
Adapter and the HKSR-101 Optical Interface Unit, to establish
such a "tethered system". By docking the CA-F101 to the
F35/F23 and installing the HKSR-101 to the SRPC-1 Processor
Unit, it is possible to separate the SRW-1/SRPC-1 from the
F35 with CA-F101 and HKSR-101
F35/F23 using a single optical fiber cable, which allows Dual-
Link HD-SDI signals as well as camera control signals to be
transmitted to and from the camera. This system can greatly
reduce the number of cables between the camera and the
VTR, thereby reducing the burden of cumbersome cable-
handling.
Without the CA-F101 and the HKSR-101, it is still possible to
tether the SRW-1/SRPC-1 to the F35/F23 – by using a Dual-
Link HD-SDI conventional BNC cable connection between
the camera and the VTR via the supplied interface box.
The SRPC-1 Video Processor is required. SRW-1/SRPC-1

Rugged and Reliable Lens Mount
- PL Lens Mount for F35
The F35 camera employs a PL lens mount, which is standard
for film cameras, allowing a number of zoom and prime
lenses for 35mm film cameras to be used. This greatly
broadens the choice of lenses for a wider spectrum of
creative expression.
F35
- B4 Lens Mount for F23
The F23 integrates an extremely durable B4 lens mount to
withstand frequent lens changes. Utilizing a rigid material with
temperature-stabilized characteristics enables stable support
of heavy lenses, and dramatically reduces any galling of the
lens mount or drift of back focus.
