Notes

•Be sure to turn on the power of the BRC-H700 camera before you turn on the power of the BRU-H700 HD Optical Multiplex Unit.

•The BRC-H700 camera does not operate if nothing is connected to the BRBK-H700 HD Optical Multiplex Card inserted into the camera. To operate the camera, connect the BRU-H700 Optical Multiplex Unit to the BRBK-H700 using the CCFC-M100HG Optical Fiber Cable and turn on the power of the BRU-H700.

•When the BRBK-H700 HD Optical Multiplex Card is inserted into the BRC-H700 camera, the EXT SYNC IN connector, VISCA RS-232C IN/OUT connectors and VISCA RS-422 connector on the rear of the camera and the BOTTOM switches on the bottom of the camera are disabled. Use the connectors and switches on the rear of the BRU-H700 Optical Multiplex Unit instead.

•The optional CCFC-M100 Optical Fiber Cable cannot be used with this system.
