Features
This unit is a master setup unit for controlling a studio handy camera (AK-HC5000/AK-UC3000/AK-UC4000) and a camera control
unit (AK-UCU500/AK-UCU600).
Scene files, user files, and lens files can be saved to a memory card.
The unit can be connected to six CCU (AK-UCU500/AK-UCU600) via a serial connection.
Eliminate the need for individual MSU cables by connecting up to 99 CCUs via a network hub (100base-TX switching hub).
The MSU is equipped with PoE+*
1
, eliminating the need for additional power supply cabling.
Connecting the MSU to a network device that supports the PoE+ standard (IEEE802.3at compliant)*
2
eliminates the need for
power supply cabling on the MSU.
NOTE
If you are using a PoE+ power supply device that requires software authentication, it may take some time for operation to
become possible after power supply starts.
If both an external DC power supply and a PoE+ power supply are connected, the power supply from the external DC
power supply will be used. If the external DC power supply is disconnected from a state where both power supplies were
connected, the unit will restart automatically and the image will be interrupted.
Use a category 5e cable or higher for the PoE+ connection. The maximum cable length for the connection between the
power supply device and the unit is 100 m (328.1 ft). Using a cable that is category 5 or lower may result in decreased
power supply performance.
When a personal computer that supports Gigabit Ethernet and a PoE+ injector are connected via a straight LAN cable,
the unit may not be recognized by the personal computer. In such cases, connect the unit to the personal computer via a
cross cable (or cross connection).
The supplied Easy IP Setup Tool can be used to set the IP addresses of the unit and CCUs.
The supplied MSU Setup Tool can be used to set the camera connections.
