Sony HKCU2040 Operation Manual page 15

Note
Input an HD-SDI signal with a frequency synchronized to the
camera control unit.
f PROMPTER (tele-prompter) connectors (BNC-type)
Input a teleprompter signal to either of the two connectors. The
input signal is output from the other connector as is (loop-
through output). If loop-through output is not used, terminate
the unused connector at 75 ohms. If the signal used is a 1.0
Vp-p, 75-ohm signal, it may be output from the PROMPTER
OUT connector of the video camera with a frequency
bandwidth of 5 MHz, regardless of signal format.
RET4 (return video input 4)
When required, either of the PROMPTER connectors can be
assigned for the fourth return video input, exclusively for
analog VBS signals.
For details on settings, contact a Sony service or sales
representative.
g NETWORK TRUNK connector (RJ-45 8-pin)
Used for connecting the NETWORK TRUNK connector of the
device connected to the camera with the network connection
device.
h
(LAN) connector (RJ-45 8-pin)
For LAN connection. Connect a LAN HUB (10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX), using a LAN cable (shielded type of category 5
or more).
i AUDIO OUT CH1, CH2 (audio output 1, 2) connectors
(XLR 3-pin)
Used for output of the audio signal to the AUDIO IN
connectors of the video camera.
j CAMERA connector (optical fiber connector)
Used to connect a video camera, using an optical fiber cable.
All video camera signals, including power supply, control,
video, and audio, are sent and received over one optical fiber
cable.
Note
Dust on the connection surface of the optical fiber cable may
result in transmission errors. When not connected, always
cover the end of the connector with the supplied cap.
k INTERCOM/TALLY/PGM (intercom/tally/program
audio) connector (D-sub 25-pin)
Used for input and output of intercom, tally, and program audio
signals. Connect to the intercom/tally/program audio
connector of the intercom system.
Flag function: 10-pin is assigned for the output pin of the Flag
function.
l SDI1, SDI2, SDI3 (serial digital interface output 1, 2, 3)
connectors (BNC-type)
The signal from the video camera may be output as two 3G-
SDI or HD-SDI signals. The SDI1 connector and the SDI2
connector output the same format signal. The signal output
from the SDI3 (MON) connector can be a superimposed
character or marker signal.
m RET1, RET2, RET3 (return video input 1, 2, 3)
connectors (BNC-type)
• Three different return video input signals may be received
independently.
• The selection of the return video input signal is made by the
return video switch of the video camera.
• The input signal may be set to 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SD-SDI, or
analog VBS, using the setup menu, or using the MSU-1000
series Master Setup Unit.
For details on the setup menu, contact a Sony service or sales
representative.
Refer also to the Master Setup Unit manual.
n RCP/CNU connector (round 8-pin)
Used to connect to an MSU-1000 series Master Setup Unit,
CNU-700 Camera Command Network Unit, or RCP-1000
series Remote Control Panel via a CCA-5 Connection Cable.
Control signals are sent and received via this connector. When
using an RCP-1000 series unit, power is also supplied.
o MIC REMOTE (microphone remote) connector (D-sub
15-pin)
Using this connector, the video camera's microphone input
level may be set by external equipment such as an audio
mixer, in five level (–60, –50, –40, –30, and –20 dB). When
shooting, set the volume to a level appropriate for the audio
conditions. This connector also outputs red, yellow and green
tally signals.
When DSUB-15 in the CCU CONFIGURATION menu is set to
WF REMOTE and an MSU-1000 series Master Setup Unit or
an RCP-1000 series Remote Control Panel is used to
remotely control a waveform monitor display, use a connector
that is compatible with recall-type waveform monitors. On the
recall-type waveform monitor, set/preset the display mode to
waveform monitor, and then select (recall) that mode
externally.
The microphone input level may also be set using the setup
menu. For details on the setup menu, contact a Sony service
or sales representative.
p CHARACTER/SYNC connector (BNC-type)
Outputs the self-diagnostic results or the setup menu as an SD
monochrome analog video signal.
When CHARA/SYNC in the CCU CONFIGURATION menu is
set to SYNC, this can also be used as a SYNC connector.
SD composite sync or an HD3 synchronous signal will be
output from the internal sync signal generator. (The default is
set to SD composite sync.)
For details on signal selection, contact a Sony service or sales
representative.
q TRUNK A connector (round 12-pin)
Used to connect to the CCU connector on a video camera via
an RS-232C or RS-422A interface. Communication with up to
two channels is available.
r AC IN (AC power input) connector
Use the specified AC power cord to connect to an AC power
supply. The AC power cord can be secured to this unit, using
the plug holder (optional).
