ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:

Black Magic Camera Converter (BMCC) Preparation

There are 2 steps for this procedure:

1. Flip the BMCC over and remove the belt clip which is being held in place by two socket cap
allen keyed machine screws.

2. Stow the screws away for belt clip re-installation if the BMCC is ever removed from the
BLACKJACK-1 hosting platform.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Continued:

BLACKJACK-1 Hosting Platform Preparation

There are 12 steps for this procedure:

1. Set BLACKJACK-1 unit on at surface as shown below.

2. Please note and be aware of the two LC Single-Mode Optical Fiber cables that were pre-in­stalled into the Neutrik OpticalCON connector housing. Note where they are protruding into
the space where the BMCC will be installed inside the BLACKJACK-1. You can see them if
you peer inside between the top and bottom of the hosting platform as shown below in the
second picture.

3. Next remove the six screws you can see from the top of the unit when the BLACKJACK-1 is
facing up. You will need a small Phillips screwdriver. Save the screws as you need them to
reinstall the top in the next few steps.

4. After the six screws are removed from the top, carefully lift the top off the bottom and place
nearby on a at surface as shown below.

5. Place the BMCC onto the bottom inside the six spacers as shown below. The rubber feet will
t into the cutouts of the same shape, guiding the unit into the general location where it will
be secured in the next steps.

6. Next locate the belt clip that was removed in the earlier steps. Supplied with the BLACK­JACK-1 are two socket cap allen keyed machine screws, longer then those that originally
held the belt clip in place.

7. Carefully ip the BMCC and the bottom plate of the BLACKJACK-1 over onto a at surface
as shown below. At this time you can do one of two things to secure the BMCC to the bottom
plate. The BMCC can be secured using the belt clip or it can be secured by just using two
small silver machine screws supplied with the BLACKJACK-1 as below.

8. Next return the BLACKJACK-1 with the now secured BMCC back over so it is right-side-up as
shown below.

9. Bring the top of the BLACKJACK-1 over to the work area and near the BLACKJACK-1 with the
BMCC in place from step #8, as show below.

In the next steps extreme care should be taken to keep from touching the
ends of the Optical Fiber cables once the protective covers are removed. The
protective covers should only be removed when you are ready to plug them
into the BMCC’s Optical port.

10. Gently pull out the Optical Fiber jumpers.

Take the one that is ALL YELLOW and remove the protective cover off the end and
quickly plug it into the BMCC’s LEFT side of the dual-LC Optical port.

Use extreme caution and attention as to NOT touch the end of the now unprotected
ber to anything as this can cause contamination and render the connection faulty.

Take the ber that has the WHITE END and remove the protective cover off the end and
quickly plug it into RIGHT side of the BMCC’s optical port.

Use extreme caution and attention as to NOT touch the end of the now unprotected
ber to anything as this can cause contamination and render the connection faulty.

Detail of both bers connected to the BMCC is below.

11. Next carefully bring the top over the bottom. Set the ber jumpers into the cavity provided

under the Neutrik OpticalCON connector housing. Guide the ber connection on the BMCC into
the two small rectangular cut-outs in the bottom for alignment and good t as shown below.

12. Install the six screws that were removed in step #3 to reinstall and secure the cover onto the

spacers that connect to the bottom of the BLACKJACK-1. This concludes the basic installation
of the BMCC into the BLACKJACK-1 Neutrik OpticalCON hosting platform. The BMCC can now
be used with Neutrik OpticalCON cables for rugged and secure connection to the BMCC for
condence in production and connections.
