Frequently Asked Questions - CBK-3610XS SONY

What is the maximum extension length allowed with the CBK-3610XS?

The maximum extension length is approximately 5.5 m (18 ft). Beyond this, proper operation is not guaranteed.

What cables and connectors are used for power?

Power is supplied via a Fischer 3-pin connector (24 V IN). A 24 V OUT connector provides power to external peripherals such as a monitor or lens servo.

Is the CBK-3610XS compatible with all Sony cameras?

No, it is designed to be used with the MPC-3610 (optional). The camera must be updated to V3.00 or later software version.

How to avoid condensation on the device?

Avoid sudden temperature changes. If condensation forms, turn off the device and wait for it to disappear before use. Using the device with condensation may damage it.

What are the risks if dust enters the connectors?

Dust may cause data transfer errors. Clean connectors with a cotton swab or similar tool. Avoid using an air blower that could push dust deeper.

How to properly fix the imager block during installation?

Orient the lens side downward. Tighten the hexagonal screws with a torque of 1.4 N·m. Do not place the heat sink downward to avoid compromising mechanical back focus.

What is the lifespan of the electrolytic capacitor?

Approximately 5 years under normal conditions (8 h/day, 25 days/month). More intensive use may shorten this life.

Can I use a Sony wireless audio receiver with the CBK-3610XS?

No, a Sony wireless audio receiver cannot be used to connect the CBK-3610XS.

Does the kit transmit signals for an external monitor?

Yes, it transmits a monitor signal via the MONITOR OUT (BNC) connector to connect an external monitor to the imager block.

How to clean the device safely?

Use a soft dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, dampen slightly with a neutral detergent. Never use alcohol, solvents, or high-pressure equipment (vacuum cleaner, blower).

Usage Precautions Features

• The MPC-3610 must be updated to software version V3.00 or later to use this unit. In V1.xx/V2.xx, the imager block capture data may become corrupted and an “E91-678” error displayed, indicating the unit is not operating properly. Disconnect the unit and reassemble the camera to its normal state before updating.
• The start up time may take longer when starting for the first time after replacing the imager block. Do not turn the unit off until start up has finished.
• The maximum extension length for use is approximately 5.5 m (18 ft). Operation and performance is not guaranteed if the extension is longer than the maximum length.
• If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm location, or if ambient temperature suddenly rises, moisture may form on the outer surface of the unit and/or inside of the unit. This is known as condensation. If condensation occurs, turn off the unit and wait until the condensation clears before operating the unit. Operating the unit while condensation is present may damage the unit.
• The life expectancy of the electrolytic capacitor is about 5 years under normal operating temperatures and normal usage (8 hours per day; 25 days per month). If usage exceeds the above normal usage frequency, the life expectancy may be reduced correspondingly.

The CBK-3610XS is an imager extension kit that can be connected to an MPC-3610 (option). The extension can be used in various shooting situations without degrading the performance of the imager.

• Extension up to 5.5 m (18 ft)

The CBK-3610XS attaches between the MPC-3610 and the imager block to extend the block by approximately 2.7 m (9.8 ft) or 5.5 m (18 ft).

• Supports connection to monitor and other external devices

In addition to the imager signal, it relays a monitor signal for connection with an external monitor connected to the imager block, and relays 24 V power which can be used to power a lens servo.

Attaching to the Camera

Notes

- The camera must be updated to software version V3.00 or later to use this unit.

Disconnect the unit and reassemble the camera to its normal state before updating.

- Turn off the camera and wait 30 minutes or longer to allow it to cool sufficiently before attaching/removing the unit.

Perform the operation quickly in a dust-free location to prevent dust and other matter from entering the camera and adapters.

• Take care not to damage the connectors and parts. - A data transfer error may occur if there is any dust or other matter adhering to the adapter connectors. If this occurs, clean the connector using a cotton swab or similar tool.

1 Remove the four hex screws on the bottom and remove the bottom plate (①), then remove the four hex screws on the front and remove the imager block from the camera body (②).

Note

Orient the lens side face down when placing the removed imager block on a flat surface. If the heat sink side is placed face down, the flangeback (flange focal distance) may be adversely affected.

2 Attach the imager block, removed in step 1, to the imager block adapter.

Align and attach using the four supplied hex screws, and tighten using a hex wrench (tightening torque of 1.4 N·m).

3 Attach the camera body adapter (①) and then attach the bottom plate (②).

Align and attach using the eight hex screws, removed in step 1, and tighten using a hex wrench (tightening torque of 1.4 N·m).

4 Attach the imager block adapter receiver to the camera body adapter.

Align with the index marks on the top and sides of the receiver, and attach using the two hex screws, and tighten using a hex wrench (tightening torque of 1.4 N·m).

Attaching the extension cable

Attach the imager block adapter receiver to the extension cable repeater (①), and attach the extension cable receiver to the camera body adapter (②) (tightening torque of 1.4 N·m).

Note

When attaching the receiver, align the index marks on the top and sides of the receiver.

Removing from Camera

1 Remove the receiver from the camera body adapter. 2 Remove the camera body adapter from the camera body. 3 Remove the imager block from the imager block adapter.

Note

Orient the lens side face down when placing the removed imager block on a flat surface. If the heat sink side is placed face down, the flangeback (flange focal distance) may be adversely affected.

4 Attach the imager block, removed in step 3, to the camera body (tightening torque of 1.4 N·m).

Inspection and Maintenance

Inspection before shooting

Inspect the unit before shooting to make sure that the system is operating normally.

Cleaning

Wipe off dirt on the exterior and any metallic powder created by attachment/removal using a soft, dry cloth. In extreme cases, use a cloth moistened in a little neutral detergent, then wipe dry.

Do not use organic solvents, such as alcohol or thinners, as these may cause discoloration or other damage to the finish of the unit.

Do not clean the unit with an air blower. Dust and other particles suspended in the air may enter the unit and cause a malfunction. Also, refrain from cleaning with high air pressure equipment, such as an air duster, as these may damage optical components.
