Outline of peripheral components

1 Camera Control Unit (CCU: AK-HCU931)

This is the Multi-Format Camera’s camera control unit. It is connected to the Multi-Format Camera using an optical fiber cable.

It can support HD/SD video input and output by connecting the HD/SD output unit.

2 Remote Operation Panel (ROP: AK-HRP931) The ROP is connected to the CCU using the ROP cable, and enables the camera, CCU and lens to be operated by remote control.

3 Master Setup Unit (MSU: AK-MSU935)

When a multiple number of cameras and CCUs are used, the MSU can operate up to 12 units either separately or simultaneously by remote control.

It can be operated together with the ROP.

4 2˝ Electronic HD Viewfinder (2˝ VF: AJ-HVF21)

This is the viewfinder for the Multi-Format Camera.

5 8˝ LCD Viewfinder (LCD VF: AK-HVF931A)

This is the LCD viewfinder for the Multi-Format Camera. It can be used at the same time as the 2˝ viewfinder.

It can still be operated when the system is built up.

6 Buildup Unit (AK-HBU3500)

This is an adapter used to mount a large lens on the Multi-Format Camera.

Thereby, it affords the same level of operability as that provided by a larger camera.

Component connections

Refer to pages 19 to 21 for the component connections. After all the components have been connected (the monitor system may be connected afterward), set the CCU’s main power switch to the ON position.

Then turn on the camera’s power switch.

Note

In some cases the softwares for the peripheral equipments (CCU, ROP or MSU, etc.) connected to AK‑HC3500 need to be upgraded.
