Introduction
The SMPTE HUT system enables you to replace long runs of the bulky and expensive
hybrid fiber cable that connects your camera and CCU with inexpensive fibers alone. It does
this by moving the camera power injection from the CCU side to the cam side. It consists of
a breakout adapter, known as the HUT-CCU, that attaches to the SMPTE connector on your
CCU. This enables you to connect 2 fibers going to the cam side using ST connectors, and
it also tricks the CCU into thinking that your camera is still attached by the hybrid fiber cable.
At the cam side of these fibers is the CAM HUT, which takes these 2 fibers with ST
connectors and routes them to a SMPTE hybrid fiber connector. It also plugs into local
mains power and injects 230 VAC for your camera into that same SMPTE connector which
now connects to the camera via a much shorter length of hybrid fiber cable. The CAM HUT
performs the same safety checks on this cable as your CCU does, and it optionally allows
remote powering down of your camera from the CCU side as well as optical repeating and
remapping of the wavelengths to and from the CCU.
