SD Studio Key features and users benefits
The GY-HD250U w/KA-HD250U/U(A) can be used to construct an economical SD studio system that produces
stunning 16:9 or 4:3 SD images.
Investment is future proofed. Upgrading from an SD to an HD system will require changing the video interface only.
When replacing a GY-DV550U, the original CCU the RM-P210U; the 26pin control cable and the studio viewfinder VF-
P400U can continue to be used.
When needed, the GY-HD250U can be used as an ENG camera by detaching it from the KA-HD250U/U(A).

Additional Information
GY-HD250U’s “VF SIGNAL” menu should be set to “RGB” when VF-P400U is used. All VF displays are available
except focus assist.
When using VF-HP840U in a SD studio, Set the GY-HD250U’s “VF SIGNAL” menu to “RGB”.
SD CMP available only; RM-P210U can not pass full bandwidth HD Y, R-Y, B-Y.
Genlock must be NTSC VBS only – HD Tri level sync can not be passed by RM-P210U back to the GY-HD250U.
GY-HD250U’s “ANALOG OUT CHAR.” menu should be set to “OFF”, – otherwise they will appear at RM-P210U
component outputs.
GY-HD250U’s “TALLY SYSTEM” menu should be set to “STUDIO”.

HD Studio Key features and user benefits
The GY-HD250U w/KA-HD250U/U(A) can be used to build an economical HD studio system that produces stunning
images.
Both HD component and HD-SDI video is supported giving user flexibility of using a component switcher or a HD-SDI
switcher.
The new RM-HP250AU gives the user the flexibility of connecting an additional local remote control to the studio system.
A live 720P or 1080i signal can be outputted depending on the user’s switcher requirements.
When replacing a GY-DV550U based studio system, the original 26pin control cable and studio viewfinder VF-P400U can
continue to be used, or replaced with the new VF-HP840U HD/SD viewfinder.
Existing user’s 26Pin Sony Cable can be used to connect RM-HP250AU and KA-HD250U/U(A).
When needed, the GY-HD250U can be readily detached from the KA-HD250U/U(A)(Sled) and used as an ENG camera.

Additional Information
When using a VF-HP840U and a component or digital switcher:
GY-HD250U’s “ANALOG OUT CHAR.” menu should be set to “OFF”.
Set the “VF SIGNAL” menu to “COMPONENT”.
If a VF-P400U is used as the view finder, set the GY-HD250U’s “VF SIGNAL” menu to “RGB”.
Do not turn “SDI OUT CHAR.” menu setting to “ON”.
GY-HD250U’s “TALLY SYSTEM” menu should be set to “STUDIO”.

Section II - Medium Length Fiber Cable Studio Configurations
Typical Applications:
Medium length Fiber Cable Studio Configurations are used for EFP, Sports and Events requiring the CCU to be located
more than 100m from the Camera’s location. When multi-core cable lengths exceed 100m, the multi-Core cable weight
becomes excessive. For lengths greater than 100m a fiber cable can be used for applications that do not need power to be
delivered to the camera or a hybrid (combined fiber and copper cable) that also delivers power is used to connect the Studio
Camera to the base station. Camplex and Telecast Fiber are two companies that produce systems that use either fiber or
hybrid cables to connect the camera to the CCU.
CAMPLEX:
CAMPLEX produces economical hybrid cable connected systems that integrate with the GY-HD250U. Their system
consists of a Camera Adapter mounted on the Camera, a Hybrid Fiber Cable and a Base Station.

Camplex System Diagram
The Camera Adapter with additional cabling provides a signal interface between the camera and the Hybrid Cable.
The Hybrid cable consists of a coaxial cable whose center conductor gauge depends on the customer’s power
requirements and a fiber cable. Both are enclosed in a single sheath.
The Fiber cable carries the HD-SDI optical signal back to the base station where it is converted back to an electrical
signal HD-SDI signal.
The center conductor in the coax carries both power and all the required signals between the Base station and the
Camera adapter.
