A. POWER CONTROL
CCU (REMOTE)
– This switch position selects the HUT-APE operating mode to monitor the optical
power received from the CCU and use it as a mechanism to electronically switch the output voltage,
thereby enabling remote ON/OFF control capability for the connected camera.
HUT (LOCAL)
– This switch position enables the HUT-APE to switch the output voltage on or off
based solely on the sense line control signals from the camera.
B. MODE
Upon power-up, or whenever the unit is powered on with no SMPTE cable attached, the HUT-APE
enters the “search” mode, monitoring the SMPTE port for a valid load device connection (Multidyne
APE; Grass Valley, Sony, or Panasonic Cameras). When one of these products is detected, the
HUT-APE will halt searching, configure itself for the detected load
’s operating parameters and
illuminate the appropriate LED. The SONY switch must be set to the appropriate model series
(1K/2K/4K OR 3K) for correct camera detection.
