    ST connectors, and it also tricks the CCU into thinking that your camera is still attached by the hybrid fiber cable. At the cam side of these fibers is the HUT-APE, which takes these two fibers and routes them to a SMPTE hybrid fiber connector. It also plugs into local mains power and injects various DC voltage for your camera into that same SMPTE connector, which now connects to the camera via a much shorter length of hybrid fiber cable.

    CCU and use it as a mechanism to electronically switch the output voltage, thereby enabling remote ON/OFF control capability for the connected camera. HUT (LOCAL) – This switch position enables the HUT-APE to switch the output voltage on or off based solely on the sense line control signals from the camera.
  • Page 8 Fiber I/O. C. Status Indicators HIGH VOLTAGE – This indicator is off when the HUT-APE is in the start-up/standby mode (i.e., low voltage output), lights up green when the camera is connected with its power switch in the ON position, and red if the high voltage is on but the output voltage is lower than the specified operating range.
  • Page 9 When a fault is detected in the standby/startup mode (low voltage output), the HUT-APE will prohibit the high voltage output from being enabled. If the system is already in normal operation and a fault occurs, the high voltage will immediately be disabled, and the HUT-APE will protect itself from output short conditions.
  • Page 10 This graphic shows the LED display change as the range of optical power, from overload (>0 dBm) to minimum detectable signal (-21 dBm), changes. Optical power greater than 0 dBm will cause all the LEDs to blink red. Optical power less than -21 dBm cannot be read on the meter.

By default, it is installed on the rear panel from the factory. The fiber port plate can be moved to the front panel to conveniently handle various installation requirements. See Moving the Fiber Plate section for details.

HYBRID FIBEROPTIC SMPTE ST 311 CABLE Connect a length of hybrid fiber cables between the HUT-APE and the hybrid connector on the camera / Silverback-APE. PRIMARY AC Use the included AC power cable to connect HUT to AC mains.
  • Page 13: Hut-Bs (Ccu Side)

    The Base unit, known as HUT-BS, has a SMPTE hybrid receptacle panel mount connector for connection to the CCU and 2 ST/UPC or duplex LC connectors for the fibers to the HUT-APE. As on the HUT-APE, the ST/LC/SC connectors are labeled FROM CCU and TO CCU. The same considerations concerning the fiber labels should be observed, as on the HUT-APE.

    6. Moving the Fiber Plate The HUT-APE allows you to have the fiber patched to the front or rear panel to handle different installation requirements. Review the following steps to relocate the fiber plate (ST/UPC shown). All work should be performed in an ESD-safe environment. Use caution not to touch any internal components.
