Notes on Power Supplied from This
Unit
Capacity of power current supplied from the DC OUT
connectors on the HDFA-200 is limited.
Supplied power voltage (when power is supplied from a CCU):
14 V
• CAM MAIN(L) DC OUT connector: max 5.5 A
• CAM SUB(R) DC OUT connector: max 4 A
• DC OUT 4A max connector: max 4 A
• DC OUT 0.5 A max connector: max 0.5 A
• VF connector: power of up to 2 A can be supplied to a
connected viewfinder
• AUX connector: power of up to 1 A can be supplied to a
connected device
• TRACKER connector: power of up to 0.5 A can be supplied
to a connected device
• The total amount of current from the above-mentioned
connectors is 13 A in maximum. The maximum amount of
the current is limited depending on the type of CCU and the
length of the optical fiber cable used.
• The total amount of current from the CAM SUB(R) DC OUT
connector and DC OUT 4A max connector is limited to 6.5
A.
Limit of power supply according to the cable
length
The amount of the supplied current depends on the optical
fiber cable length as shown below.
When connecting to an HDCU1000
Optical fiber cable length 1900 m (6232 ft.): max. 7 A
Optical fiber cable length 1600 m (5248 ft.): max. 9 A
Optical fiber cable length 1200 m (3936 ft.): max.12 A
Optical fiber cable length 1100 m (3608 ft.): max. 13 A
When connecting to an HDCU1500
Optical fiber cable length 1100 m (3608 ft.): max. 6 A
Optical fiber cable length 700 m (2296 ft.): max. 8 A
Optical fiber cable length 200 m (656 ft.): max. 9.2 A
Optical fiber cable length 50 m (164 ft.): max.10 A
• The above values are merely reference values (from
measurements taken with use of FURUKAWA ø9.2-mm
cable).
• If an HDFA-200 is operated with external DC power, the
amount of current supplied to external devices is 8 A at
maximum.
Mounting the Unit to a Tripod
The unit can be mounted on a tripod, using one of the tripod
mounting holes on the bottom of the unit.
.
• Select an appropriate hole from among those at the bottom
of the unit, considering the balance of the weight of the unit
and the tripod. If an inappropriate hole is selected, the unit
may fall over.
• Check that the size of the selected hole matches that of the
screw of the tripod. If they do not match, the unit cannot be
attached to the tripod securely.
Mounting on a Rig
The HDFA-200 can be mounted on a rig, using the holes on
the bottom or top of the unit (see
Select appropriate holes according to the type and weight of
the rig.
For details on mounting, consult a rig manufacturer.
