Overview

By connecting this unit to the multi-format camera (model AK-HC931P), multi-format images can be input and output. (Some
of the functions are available as options.)

The unit is connected to the multi-format camera, and it is connected to the remote operation panel (ROP) and master setup
unit (MSU) using dedicated multi-purpose cables (available as optional accessories).

When the designated multi-purpose cables are used, the distance between from the CCU to the ROP and MSU can be
extended up to 50 meters.

Accessories

Rack-mounting adapters (k2)
Mounting screws (M4k8 mm) (k6)
BNC termination resistor (k1)
Communication connector (k1)
Power cord (k1)

Operating precautions

O Handle the unit carefully.

Dropping the unit or subjecting it to strong impact may cause malfunctioning and/or accidents.

O Operate the unit within a temperature range of 32oF to 104oF (0oC to i40oC).

Operation in locations below 32oF or above 104oF may adversely affect the internal parts.

O Be absolutely sure to turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting the

cables.

O Do not use the unit outdoors.
O Install the unit at a distance of at least 3.3 ft (1 meter) from the monitor.
