Overview

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 Single Link
2)
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).
1) Dual Link formats:
1080/59.94P, 1080/50P
2) Single Link formats:
1080/59.94I, 1080/29.97PsF, 1080/23.98PsF, 720/59.94P, 1080/50I, 1080/25PsF, 1080/24PsF, 720/50P

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.

HKCU2005 3G Single Link Interface Unit

The HKCU2005 consists of a DRX-8 front board and a HIF-57 rear board. It is designed to be installed in slot 2 of an HDCU1000 with an HKCU-HB10 installed or that of HDCU1500 with an HKCU-HB15 installed. When the HKCU2005 is installed, max. four 3G-SDI signal outputs can be fed from the HDCU1000/1500. A signal of 1080P format transmitted from a camera and a converted signal of 720P format can be output simultaneously. The format of SDI signal output from the HIF-57 board can be specified independently for the two upper connectors and two lower connectors.
Notes
• Always install the HKCU2005 in slot 2 of a camera control unit with an HKCU-HB10/HB15 installed.
• Do not install two or more HKCU2005 unit in the same camera control unit.
