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.

[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.

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” (3Mbps) 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.

Usage Precautions
Use and Storage Locations
Store in a level, ventilated place. Avoid using or
storing the unit in the following places.
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.
