Features

The CBK‑FS7BK is an accessory kit that attaches to a PXW‑FS7‑series camcorder to provide the stability and operability of the camcorder when used shoulder camcorder style. In addition to the XDCA‑FS7 functionality, it features a robust viewfinder, sliding shoulder plate, wireless audio receiver slot, and comprehensive network functions. FS7‑series camcorders can also be operated with a B4 lens by attaching the LA‑EB1 (option).
Remote Operation of Camcorder via a Wireless LAN
When the unit is connected to a PXW‑FS7‑series camcorder (hereinafter, “camcorder”) by USB cable, you can operate the camcorder remotely from a smartphone/tablet/computer that is connected via wireless LAN.
Creating and Recording a Proxy File
The unit creates a proxy file (low resolution) and records it on an SD card that is inserted into the unit, from the HD‑SDI input video and audio signals that are shot or played on the camcorder. The created file is called “XAVC (R) Proxy.” Recording starts/stops automatically in lock with the camcorder Rec/Stop control signals that are embedded in the HD‑SDI signal. When recording using the camcorder, you can create a proxy file of the same duration that inherits the information of the original file recorded on the camcorder.
Uploading a File via a 3G/4G/LTE Network, Wireless LAN, or Wired LAN
You can upload a proxy file (low resolution) that is recorded on an SD card in the unit to a server on the Internet via a 3G/4G/LTE network, wireless LAN, or wired LAN.
Monitoring Camcorder video via a Wireless LAN
The unit can create a stream (H.264) from the camcorder video, which can be monitored using the “Content Browser Mobile” application on a smartphone/tablet via wireless LAN.
“Content Browser Mobile” Application*
You can configure the settings of the unit from a smartphone/tablet using the “Content Browser Mobile” application.
* For details about the “Content Browser Mobile”
application, contact your Sony dealer or a Sony service representative.
Streaming Camcorder Video/Audio via a 3G/4G/LTE Network, Wireless LAN, or Wired LAN
The unit can create a stream (H.264/AAC‑LC compression) from the camcorder video/audio, which can be streamed via a 3G/4G/LTE network, wireless LAN, or wired LAN.
[Note]
If you start streaming, proxy recording and file transfer cannot be performed.
High Quality Streaming using Sony’s QoS Technology
When connected to a Connection Control Manager (CCM) of a Sony Network RX Station (option) or XDCAM air*, the unit supports high quality streaming and file uploading via the CCM.
* XDCAM air is a cloud service that is provided by Sony. To
use this service, registration is required. XDCAM air is not provided in some regions. For details on areas where the service is provided, refer to the following site. https://www.xdcam‑air.com For more details, contact a Sony professional sales representative.

[Notes]
The unit works in combination with the latest version of

the Network RX Station. If network client mode for streaming with Sony’s QoS

Technology is set to on with proxy recording enabled, the streaming bit rate is limited by the proxy recording setting. File uploading stops when streaming is started. You can change the proxy recording setting by operating

the CCM. You can perform stable streaming with high picture

quality using multiple networks. (Depending on the scene, the target bit rate may be exceeded.) This function is available when [Proxy Recording] is set to “Off” or when [Proxy Recording] cannot be set. Use separate network connections to acquire stable performance. To use this function, contact your Sony professional sales representative.

Recording the Video of a Camcorder

You can create a proxy file* from the recording/ playback video and audio signals that are input from the SDI IN connector. The proxy file is recorded on an SD card (option) in sync with the recording start/stop operation of the camcorder.
* When a proxy file is recorded automatically in sync with
the camcorder recording start/stop operation, the proxy file inherits the information and duration from the original file. When a proxy file is recorded manually, the proxy file does not inherit the information from the original file.
Preparation
This section describes the SD cards used for recording, and the format setting for the proxy file.
Supported SD cards
SDXC memory cards* (Speed Class: 4 or higher) SDHC memory cards* (Speed Class: 4 or higher)
* Referred to as “SD cards” in this document.
Recommended Sony SD cards
SDXC/SDHC UHS-I memory cards (Class 10)

SDXC/SDHC memory cards (Class 4)

SDHC memory cards (Class 10)

microSDXC/microSDHC UHS-I memory cards

(Class 10) microSDHC memory cards (Class 4)

Operation is not guaranteed to work for all memory cards.
[Note]
The unit cannot format an SDHC card as exFAT or an SDXC card as FAT32.
Inserting an SD card
[Notes]
If the camcorder is turned off or the SD card is removed

while the SD card is being accessed, the integrity of data on the card cannot be guaranteed. All data recorded on the card may be discarded. The unit does not have any salvage function to recover damaged material. Be sure that the unit is turned off before you remove an SD card. Be sure that the STATUS indicator is lit light green and the access indicator is turned off before you turn off the power. Take caution to prevent the SD card from flying out when

inserting/ejecting the card.
Format setting for the recorded proxy file
The format is set to “640 × 360” (3Mbps) by default. To change the setting, see “Proxy Format Settings” (page 34).
Recording
The unit can record automatically in sync with the recording start/stop operation of the camcorder or recording can be started/stopped manually on the unit. Recording to an SD card starts/stops in sync with the recording start/stop operation of the camcorder (access indicator is lit red while recording). Recording on the unit stops when recording on the camcorder stops (access indicator turns off). You can create a proxy file of the same duration that inherits the information of the original file recorded on the camcorder.
[Notes]
To record a proxy file of the same duration that inherits

the information of the original file recorded on the camcorder, you need to set [Parallel REC] in the menu of the camcorder. If recording is started immediately after turning the

camcorder on, the length of a proxy file that is recorded on an SD card may differ from that of the original file because of a short delay before the unit starts recording.
Starting/stopping recording manually
1 Open the cover of the SD card slot.
2 Insert the SD memory card into the slot with
the SD card label facing the front.
To eject the SD card
Open the cover of the SD card slot, and lightly press the SD card in to eject the card.
To check the remaining capacity
You can check the remaining capacity on an SD card on the [SD Card] screen (page 26).
You can start/stop recording the signal from the camcorder manually. You can also record manually from devices that do not have Rec/Stop control signals embedded in the HD-SDI signal. In this case, the recorded file does not inherit the information from the original file.
1 Connect a terminal device to the unit via
wireless LAN, launch a browser on the terminal device, then access the unit (page 20). The [Device Status] screen appears.

About the recorded file
The file system is FAT32 for an SDHC card and exFAT for an SDXC card, and the file extension is “.mp4.” The timecode embedded in the HD-SDI signal is also recorded simultaneously. A still image of the first frame is also recorded.
If GPS* information is embedded in the HD-SDI signal, the GPS information is also recorded.
* The GPS (Global Positioning System) is a navigation
system of the United States that uses high precision satellites to provide precise location information about wherever you are.
About the file name
When a proxy file is recorded in sync with the camcorder The file name is in “<file name of the original file> + S03.mp4” format.
In other cases
The file name is given by the recording start timecode. For example, if recording starts at 14 hours 30 minutes 20 seconds 05 frames (14:30:20:05) the file name will be “14_30_20_05. mp4.” If a file exists which has the same name, a consecutive number is appended to the file name.
Directory of the recorded file
The recorded file is stored in the “Root/PRIVATE/ PXROOT/Clip” directory. The still picture file of the first frame is stored in the “Root/PRIVATE/PXROOT/Thmbnl” directory, and a GPS log file is stored in the “Root/PRIVATE/SONY/ GPS” directory.
[Notes]
When the storage capacity of an SD card is reached

during recording, “Warning” appears on the screen and the access indicator flashes. Recording stops.
The maximum number of files that can be recorded on


In excessive heat or cold (operating temperature

range: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)) Remember that in summer in warm climates, the temperature inside a car with the windows closed can easily exceed 50°C (122°F). In damp or dusty locations

Locations exposed to rain

Locations subject to violent vibration

Near strong magnetic fields

Close to radio or TV transmitters producing

strong electromagnetic fields. In direct sunlight or close to heaters for

extended periods
Do not subject to strong shocks
Do not drop the unit or subject it to strong shocks. The unit may be damaged.
Do not wrap in a cloth or other covering during operation
Internal temperatures may rise, causing a malfunction.
Cleaning
Clean the cabinet and panels by wiping lightly with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is very dirty, use a cloth dampened with a small amount of neutral detergent, then wipe dry. Avoid the use of volatile solvents such as thinners, alcohol, benzene, and insecticides. They may damage the surface finish or cause it to peel off.
Transport
When transporting the unit by truck, ship, or air, or whenever it may be handled as freight, always pack it in the original protective packaging, after removing the camcorder, camera adapter, and cables from the camcorder support.
Moving
Before moving the camcorder, remove the unit from the camcorder support. It the camcorder is moved while the unit is attached, the unit may fall and may cause an injury.
Condensation
If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm location, or if ambient temperature suddenly rises, moisture may form on the outer surface of the unit and/or inside of the unit. This is known as condensation. If condensation occurs, turn off the unit and wait until the condensation clears before operating the unit. Operating the unit while condensation is present may damage the unit.
File Fragmentation
If pictures cannot be recorded/reproduced properly, try reformatting the SD card. After repeated recording/playback with an SD card for an extended period, files on the SD card may become fragmented, preventing proper recording/storage. In such a case, make a backup of clips from the SD card, then reformat it.
