Atomos Connect

Connect S2H & H2S User Guide

Congratulations on purchasing your Connect
converter and Test Pattern Generator. You
are now the proud owner of an extremely
compact and versatile converter that can
run standalone for up to 10 hours from the
battery supplied – no AC cables required!
Of course, as is our custom at Atomos, we
have included a comprehensive selection
of accessories, including a 9V AC power
adaptor, AC battery charger and a 12V DC
travel adaptor too.

The built-in Test Pattern Generator has
multiple patterns, in both SD and HD, the
latter including 1080p50 and 60 – true 3G
modes. The modes are indicated by coloured
LEDs, which are explained in this QuickStart
Guide. Learn the colour sequences, learn
the modes for fast and easy operation.

Getting started

CHARGING BATTERIES

We recommend that you charge new
batteries before using them.

To charge the external battery supplied,
place onto the supplied charger and charge
until the light turns from RED to GREEN.

To charge the internal battery, place the
supplied AC mains adaptor OR an external
battery on to the Connect. Full internal
battery charge is indicated by 4 BLUE LEDs
after pressing the PWR/BAT button.

NOTE: The battery level indicated by
pressing the PWR/BAT button will always
be the current active battery. If an external
battery or AC mains power supply is
attached, the external battery/AC mains
level will be indicated when PWR/BAT is
pressed. If no external battery is present,
the internal battery level will be indicated
when PWR/BAT is pressed.

POWER UP

Turn on by pressing the PWR/BAT button and
the unit will power up ready for operation.

Turn off by pressing & holding PWR/BAT
button for more than 3 seconds.

NOTE: Connect Converters utilise the
aluminium side panels to dissipate heat.
Do not be alarmed if the sides of the
product are warm or hot to touch, this is
deliberate and normal heat dissipation
operation.
