The HKC-HB10/HB15 and HKCU-HB10/HB15 3G Fiber
Transmission Units are function enhancement units for
Sony HD color cameras or HD camera control units.
The applicable cameras and camera control units are
shown in the table below.
Notes
• Connection compatibility with HDC-900-series models is
lost by function enhancement.
• Do not install the 3G Fiber Transmission Units in any
cameras or camera control units other than the applicable
models.

About the manuals
This operation manual introduces the outlines of systems
which can be established by installing the abovementioned products in a camera or camera control unit,
and it describes the functions added or changed by the
function enhancement.
For conventional functions and operations of the camera or
camera control unit, refer to the operation manual supplied
with the camera or camera control unit.
Camera Systems That Become
Available
The following camera systems become available with the
3G Fiber Transmission Units. (There are some restrictions,
depending on the model and combination of the products.
See the table “Additional Functions” in the next
paragraph.)
• Fiber transmission system of Dual Link

format (signal transmission at “High Bit
Rate”)
• COAXIAL connection system of Single Link format
using two coaxial cables
• Dual-Camera system
• Sub-Camera system (Only HDCU1000 with an HKCUHB10 installed can be the main camera control unit.)
1)
or
1) Only HDCU1000 units of serial number 14001 or higher (UC), 44001 or
higher (CE), or 410001 or higher (CE) are applicable.
Installing these units provides conventional HD color
camera and HD camera control units for HD-SDI optical
transmission with “High Bit Rate” optical transmission
capability.
The bit rate (High Bit Rate/HD-SDI) of optical
transmission between the camera and the camera control
unit is automatically switched, depending on connected
devices.
The HKCU2005 3G Single Link Interface Unit is a
function enhancement unit for the HDCU1000 with an
HKCU-HB10 installed and the HDCU1500 with an
HKCU-HB15 installed.
When an HKCU2005 is installed, max. four 3G-SDI signal
outputs can be fed from the camera control unit.
Precaution
If these products are installed incorrectly, personal injury
or damage to peripheral items may occur due to fire, shock,
or other accidental circumstances. To avoid such risks,
installation should be performed by trained service
technicians.
HDC1000R/1500R/1000/1500-series models with no 3G
Fiber Transmission Unit installed can be used in
combination.
For connections and settings, see “Connections and
Settings” (page 23).
You can select the output signal with SDI-1 OUT on the
<SDI OUT> page of the MAINTENANCE menu.
For Dual Link formats: LINK-A, HD PROMPTER,
3G-SDI
For Single Link formats: MAIN(HD-SDI), HD
PROMPTER
Note
Output signal selection is not possible when the camera is
used in a COAXIAL connection system (page 25) or DualCamera system (page 26), as the connector is used for
connection to a camera control unit or connection between
the primary camera and secondary camera.
For the signal settings, see “Video Formats and the Output
Signals of the Camera” (page 11).

this connector is fed from the HD TRUNK OUT connector
of the camera control unit.
Notes
• The HD trunk function cannot be used with a Dual Link
format.
• By changing the installation method, the connector can
be returned to the conventional PROMPTER 2
connector. For details, consult a Sony service or sales
representative. Note that it does not function as an HD
TRUNK IN connector in that status.
• The HD-SDI signal fed to this connector must be in
frequency synchronization with the camera.
• Signal selection is not possible when the camera is used

When a camera that supports the HD trunk function is
connected via the CAMERA connector, an HD-SDI signal
fed to the HD TRUNK IN connector of the camera is
output from this connector.
b HD PROMPTER IN connector (BNC type)
When a camera that supports the HD prompter function is
connected via the CAMERA connector, an HD-SDI signal
fed to this connector can be output from the SDI 1
connector of the camera.
Note
The HD-SDI signal fed to this connector must be in
frequency synchronization with the camera control unit.
c CAMERA connector (optical/electrical multi-

The connector becomes applicable both for HD-SDI and
“High Bit Rate” transmission.
For details on the HKCU2005, see “HKCU2005 3G
