Rack Mount Installation Safety Notes:

A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment

Instruction Manual, FS-900 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The FS-900 Triple Studio Camera Interface System is a camera video, audio, ethernet and data multiplexing system that installs between three separate JVC ProHD GY-HM3900 video cameras and their power sources. In addition, each camera connects via a single fiber optic cable to a common Base Station in a truck, studio control room, or other video production facility. All of the video, audio and data is sent bidirectionally between the Base Station and each camera over three separate single fiber cables, one between each camera and the common Base Station.

The Camera Head Unit is attached directly to the camera. The Camera Head unit is designed to allow the majority of the signals

that connect between the Camera and itself to flow thru a 68 pin connector internal to the Camera and the Camera Head unit.

The FS-900 Triple Studio Camera Interface System consists of the two main components:

1. The FS-900 Base Station
2. The FS-900 Camera Head

Model numbers of available options: FS-900BS1S - Base Station with SMPTE connectors FS-900BS1N - Base Station with Neutrik connectors FS-900CAM1S - Camera Head with SMPTE connectors FS-900CAM1N - Camera Head with Neutrik connectors

FS-900 TRIPLE STUDIO CAMERA INTERFACE SYSTEM

MultiDyne FS-900 Triple Studio Camera Interface System for JVC's GY-HM890 ProHD camcorder

The MultilPyne® Pro HD camera-mounted fiber-optic transceivers are used to "systemize" HD, 2K and 4K Quad-Link 3G camcorders. They offer versatility and the ability to configure a camera system to specific applications. The camera is connected with a series of short patch cables and then connected to the system's base station (RX) with a single fiber-optic cable, which can be located near the camera or miles away.

The FS-900BS1N (Neutrik Opticalcon) and FS-900BS1S (SMPTE)

Supports 3G-SDI 1080p/60 camera feeds and returns. Cost-efficient to support up to three cameras by each base station, and separate power supplies provide up to 150 watts for each camera, as well as prompts and talent monitors.

Key Features

• Supports 1080 50/60p 3G-SDI camera feed and returns. • HDMI / SDI feeds for high-quality HD teleprompters. • Gigabit Ethernet for Video-over-IP and web-based RCU. • Dual redundant power supplies for base station

Hybrid fiber cable for Neutrik and SMPTE

Hybrid fiber cable assemblies are compatible for easy mating to industry standard broadcast camera systems. The rigorous qualification and intermateability testing program guarantees consistent and reliable results with all compliant systems.

CAMERA UNIT - CONTROLS & INDICATORS

Instruction Manual, FS-900

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The Viewfinder button on the Camera Unit's control panel is used to select the video source that is output from the Viewfinder BNC Connector. Pressing this button will change between the Camera's video output and the Return 1 video being sent by the base station. LEDs on the control panel indicate which source is currently switched to the Viewfinder output.

An external switch connected to the DB-15 GPIO connector on the Camera Unit may also be used to control the Viewfinder output. Please refer to the pinout guide for pinout information. The Viewfinder select pin on the GPIO connector is typically used with a momentary type push button switch. When this pin is connected to Ground, the Viewfinder BNC will output Return 1 video. When this pin is left open or unconnected, the Viewfinder BNC will output the Camera's video signal.

The Viewfinder output can also be selected using the RET button on the Lens. Note that this requires GY HMB30U camera firmware V0301-D070, or later, and this option is enabled in the Camera's menu under: Camera Function; → User Switch Set; → Return Video □ Camera Return.

INTERCOM OPERATION

The top portion of the Camera Unit's control panel is used to control intercom operation of the camera operator's headset. These controls consist of: a push-to-talk (PTT) switch, volume control buttons, and indicator LEDs. There are additional controls located next to the headset connector for Mic Gain and Sidetone adjustment. Mic Gain and Sidetone level are adjusted using a small screwdriver.

The intercom headset connector can be used with industry standard dual-muff or single-muff headsets. Intercom Belt Packs cannot be plugged into the Camera Unit. When using dual-muff headsets, identical audio will be present in both ears.

The volume controls allow for a mix of both intercom channels and program audio all to be listened to in the headset simultaneously. The LED above each channel's set of volume control buttons will illuminate whenever audio is present on that channel. When adjusting the volume, these LEDs will rapidly blink 3 times whenever the min or max volume setting has been reached.

The Intercom Talkback switch, or PTT switch, provides momentary latching operation of the headset microphone to allow the operator to talk on a particular intercom channel, or on both channels simultaneously.

For momentary mode, press and hold the PTT switch up or down towards the intercom channel you wish to speak on and then speak into the microphone. The TALK and the selected intercom channel

LEDs will blink and the mic will remain open while the PTT switch is held. Release the PTT switch when finished talking. The mic will close and the TALK and channel LEDs will turn off.

Latching mode can be used for longer-term, hands-free operation. To talk on channel 1, quickly toggle the PTT switch upwards towards CH1 and release. The mic will latch open and the TALK and CH1 LEDs will blink continuously. When finished talking, quickly toggle the PTT switch upwards again and release. The mic will then close and the TALK and CH1 LEDs will turn off.

To talk on channel 2, quickly toggle the PTT switch downwards towards CH2 and release. The mic will latch open and the TALK and CH2 LEDs will blink continuously. When finished talking, quickly toggle the PTT switch downwards again and release. The mic will close and the TALK and CH2 LEDs will turn off.

To talk on both channels 1 and 2 simultaneously, first quickly toggle the PTT switch upwards towards CH1 and release. The mic will latch open and the TALK and CH1 LEDs will blink continuously. Next, quickly toggle the PTT switch downwards towards CH2 and release. The mic will stay open and the TALK, CH1 and CH2 LEDs will blink continuously. When finished talking, quickly toggle the PTT switch upwards and release to disengage CH2 (the CH1 LED will turn off) then quickly toggle the PTT switch downwards and release to disengage CH2 (the CH2 LED will turn off). The mic will close and the TALK, CH1 and CH2 LEDs will all turn off.

An external switch connected to the DB-15 GPIO connector on the Camera Unit may also be used to control Intercom Talkback operation. Please refer to the pinout guide for pinout information. Two mic trigger GPI pins are provided, one for CH1 and one for CH2. A single SPDT momentary type switch or 2 SPST switches may be used.

Intercom Talkback operation can also be controlled using the REC button on the Camera's Lens. Note that this requires GY-HM8SOU camera firmware MS18-00FB, or later, and this option can be enabled in the Camera's menu under: Camera Function > Lens REC > (ICOM2, ICOM1, REC). Momentary and Latching operation is supported from the REC button only on the intercom channel that is selected in the menu. Both channels cannot be activated simultaneously from the REC button.
