Sony 930, 950, 900 manual 3Output Block DIF Board, RET4 return video input 4 connector

7	c SYNC OUT (sync signal output) connector (BNC
	type)
	Used for output of an SD composite sync signal or HD

tri-level sync from the internal sync signal generator. (Factory setting: SD composite sync)

d PROMPTER connectors (BNC type) Input a teleprompter signal to either of the two connectors. The input signal is output from the other connector as-is(loop-through output). If loop-through output is not used, terminate the unused connector with 75 ohms. If the signal used is a 1.0-Vp-p,75-ohm analog signal, it may be output from the video camera’s PROMPTER OUT connector with a frequency bandwidth of 8 MHz, regardless of signal format.

RET4 (return video input 4) connector

When required, either of the PROMPTER connectors can be assigned for the fourth return video input exclusively for analog VBS signals.

e MIC1 and MIC2 (microphone output 1 and 2) connectors (XLR 3-pin)

Used to output microphone signals from the video camera

f CAMERA connector (optical fiber connector) Used to connect a video camera, using an optical fiber cable. All video camera signals, including power supply, control, video, and audio, are sent and received over one optical fiber cable.

Note

Dust on the connection surface of the optical fiber cable may result in transmission errors. When not connected, always keep the end covered with the supplied cap.

g Expansion slot

For installation of the optional HKCU-951 SD Encoder Unit. When using the HKCU-953 HD Frame Rate Converter Unit, move the DIF board and internal RC board to this slot and install the HKCU-953 in the original DIF/RC board position.

h INCOM/TALLY/PGM (intercom/tally/program audio) connector (D-sub 25-pin)

Used for input and output of intercom, tally, and program audio signals. Connect to the intercom/tally/ program audio connector of the intercom system.

i MONI (HD-SDI monitor output) connector (BNC type)

The signal from the video camera can be mixed with skin tone gate signals and some aspect marker signal and output in HD-SDI format.

Note

Mixing is set to ON or OFF using switches on the internal AT board or the MSU-700A/750 Master Setup Unit.

j RET1, RET2, and RET3 (return video input 1, 2, and 3) connectors (BNC type)

Return video input signals can be received from three different systems. The selection among from RET 1, 2 and 3 is made using the camera’s return video switch. The type of input signal can be any of HD-SDI, SD- component SDI, or analog VBS, and can be set using the switch on the internal DTX board, or using the MSU-700A/750 Master Setup Unit. Signals of different types cannot be connected simultaneously.

Note

If a signal asynchronous with the HDCU-950 is supplied, it may affect the picture quality of return video.

kMIC REMOTE (microphone remote) connector (D-sub 15-pin)

Using this connector, the video camera’s microphone amplifier gain can be set using external equipment such as an audio mixer, in five steps (60, 50, 40, 30, and 20 dB). When taping, set the volume to a level appropriate for the audio conditions.

Note

The microphone amplifier gain can also be set using switches on the internal AVP board.

WF REMOTE (waveform monitor remote) connector With the internal switch setting, the MIC REMOTE connector can be assigned for the WF REMOTE connector. In this case, the connector can be connected to the appropriate connector on a waveform monitor when operating the waveform monitor using an MSU-700A/750 Master Setup Unit or RCP-700- series Remote Control Panel. A recall-type monitor can be connected. For the recall-type monitor, preset a display mode on the waveform monitor, and then recall the mode externally.

lRCP/CNU connector (8-pin)

Used to connect to an MSU-700A/750 Master Setup Unit, CNU-500/700 Camera Command Network Unit, or RCP-700-series Remote Control Panel via a CCA-5 Connection Cable. Control signals are sent and received via this connector. When using an RCP-700- series unit, power is also supplied.

mWF MODE (waveform monitor mode output)

connector (4-pin)

Connect to the appropriate connector on a waveform monitor when monitoring a signal in Sequential mode. A sequence signal will be output when the SEQ button on the MSU-700A/750 Master Setup Unit or RCP-700 Series Remote Control Panel is pressed, allowing simultaneous monitoring of the R, G, and B signals in Sequential mode. (When both the RCP and MSU are in use, this connector functions as the output connector for RCP control.)

nAC IN (AC power supply input) connector Use the specified power cord to connect to an AC power supply. The power cord can be secured to the HDCU-950 body using an optional plug holder.
