3. HUT-BS (CCU Side)
The Base unit, known as HUT-BS, has a SMPTE hybrid receptacle panel mount connector for
connection to the CCU and 2 ST/UPC or duplex LC connectors for the fibers to the HUT-APE. As on
the HUT-APE, the ST/LC/SC connectors are labeled FROM CCU and TO CCU. The same
considerations concerning the fiber labels should be observed, as on the HUT-APE.
The HUT-BS acts as a breakout for the optical ports in the CCU SMPTE connector. It also tricks the
CCU into thinking a camera is attached by a SMPTE hybrid fiber cable. This is necessary to enable the
CCU to leave standby mode so that it can accept video from the camera. It has 2 LEDs located on the
panel with the ST connectors, labeled Power and HV. The Power LED is green the CCU is supplying
power to the HUT-BS, and the HUT-BS is attempting to spoof the CCU. The HV LED is green when the
CCU is supplying high voltage. This means that the HUT-BS has successfully spoofed the CCU into
thinking a camera is attached. Otherwise, the CCU will not leave standby mode.
For proper operation, the HUT-BS must be set for the type of camera system being used. There are 2
versions of HUT-BS: one with dip switches, and a rugged version with metal bat handle switches. Set
the HUT-BS for the camera type according to the following tables:
