The GY-HD250U w/KA-HD250U/U(A) can be used to construct an economical SD studio system that produces
stunning 16:9 or 4:3 SD images.
Investment is future proofed. Upgrading from an SD to an HD system will require changing the video interface only.
When replacing a GY-DV550U, the original CCU the RM-P210U; the 26pin control cable and the studio viewfinder VF-
P400U can continue to be used.
When needed, the GY-HD250U can be used as an ENG camera by detaching it from the KA-HD250U/U(A).

The GY-HD250U w/KA-HD250U/U(A) can be used to build an economical HD studio system that produces stunning
images.
Both HD component and HD-SDI video is supported giving user flexibility of using a component switcher or a HD-SDI
switcher.
The new RM-HP250AU gives the user the flexibility of connecting an additional local remote control to the studio system.
A live 720P or 1080i signal can be outputted depending on the user’s switcher requirements.
When replacing a GY-DV550U based studio system, the original 26pin control cable and studio viewfinder VF-P400U can
continue to be used, or replaced with the new VF-HP840U HD/SD viewfinder.
Existing user’s 26Pin Sony Cable can be used to connect RM-HP250AU and KA-HD250U/U(A).
When needed, the GY-HD250U can be readily detached from the KA-HD250U/U(A)(Sled) and used as an ENG camera.

Typical Applications:
Medium length Fiber Cable Studio Configurations are used for EFP, Sports and Events requiring the CCU to be located
more than 100m from the Camera’s location. When multi-core cable lengths exceed 100m, the multi-Core cable weight
becomes excessive. For lengths greater than 100m a fiber cable can be used for applications that do not need power to be
delivered to the camera or a hybrid (combined fiber and copper cable) that also delivers power is used to connect the Studio
Camera to the base station. Camplex and Telecast Fiber are two companies that produce systems that use either fiber or
hybrid cables to connect the camera to the CCU.

Power and Signals
Camplex System Diagram
The Camera Adapter with additional cabling provides a signal interface between the camera and the Hybrid Cable.
The Hybrid cable consists of a coaxial cable whose center conductor gauge depends on the customer’s power
requirements and a fiber cable. Both are enclosed in a single sheath.
The Fiber cable carries the HD-SDI optical signal back to the base station where it is converted back to an electrical
signal HD-SDI signal.
The center conductor in the coax carries both power and all the required signals between the Base station and the
Camera adapter.

CAMPLEX:
CAMPLEX produces economical hybrid cable connected systems that integrate with the GY-HD250U. Their system
consists of a CameraAdapter mounted on the Camera, a Hybrid Fiber Cable and a Base Station.
