Once plugged in, it is a good idea to connect the rubber cap from the end of the SMPTE fiber
cable into the rubber cap from the Blackmagic Studio Fiber Converter. This will prevent any
dust or debris from entering the caps, and ensure that the caps remain clean.
Connecting the Fiber Cable to the Camera Unit
The female end of the SMPTE fiber cable locks into the male connector on the side of
Blackmagic Camera Fiber Converter, ensuring that the cable is not accidentally disconnected
during broadcast.
To connect the cable:
1 Align the red indicators on each connector, and plug the cable connector into the
camera unit’s connector until it securely clicks into place.

NOTE The SMPTE 304 connectors on the SMPTE 311 cable are very durable and lock
firmly to the camera. If you need to disconnect the cable, please ensure that you have
the camera firmly attached to a tripod head or are bracing the camera with your spare
hand while trying to disconnect the cable.
To disconnect the cable:
1 Pinch the top section of the female end of the cable, and compress the rubber sheath
around the cable, pulling it gently away from the tip of the cable until you can see the
red ring under the sheath. This will detach the teeth from the locking mechanism.
2 Put one hand on the camera to brace it gently, and pull the cable away from the
connector on the Blackmagic Camera Fiber Converter. The cable should disconnect
easily without the need for excessive force.
