Overview

The HXCU-D70 Camera Control Unit (CCU) connects to the Sony HXC-D70 HD Color Camera. It performs signal processing, provides an interface for external equipment, and supplies power to the camera.

The CCU can be combined with an RCP-1000-series Remote Control Panel (optional) to form a camera control system.

Features

The HXCU-D70 can be connected with a single multi-core cable

A camera control system with the HXC-D70 high resolution HD color camera can be built up using just one Sony-standard multi-core cable (CCZ-A).

Easy-to-use control panel

The HXCU-D70 has a fully-functional, ergonomically- designed front panel that includes basic adjustment of the monitor image.

Multi-system input/output interface

The HXCU-D70 includes the following input and output signal connectors to manage various system setups.

Video outputs

???SDI (main), 2-system (HD/SD selectable, embedded audio)

???SDI (monitor), 2-system (HD/SD selectable, embedded audio, superimposed character and marker display)

External sync signal input

The CCU can be locked to an external sync signal. Either an HD tri-level sync signal or an SD sync (black burst) signal can be used as the sync signal.

Low-loss digital transmission via multi-core cable

The camera unit can be connected with the Sony-standard multi-core camera cable (CCZ-A). The camera and CCU are equipped with the latest Sony-developed digital transmission technology to transmit high-resolution pictures between one another, regardless of the cable length.

Built-in wideband down converter

HD signals from the camera can be converted to high- resolution SD component SDI output signals using the wideband down converter. The output signal aspect ratio can be set to 4:3 edge crop, 16:9 squeeze, or letterbox.

Rack mountable

The CCU can be installed in a standard EIA 19-inch rack. The height of the unit is 1.5U.

Notes on Use

Use and storage locations

Avoid using or storing the unit in the following places:

???Where it is subject to extremes of temperature (operating temperature: 5 ??C to 40 ??C (41 ??F to 104 ??F)). Note that in

summer the temperature in a car with the windows closed can reach 50 ??C (122 ??F).

???Very damp or dusty places.

???Where rain is likely to reach the unit.

???Places subject to severe vibration.

???Near strong magnetic fields.

???Near transmitting stations generating strong radio waves.

Avoid violent impacts

Dropping the unit, or otherwise imparting a violent shock to it, is likely to cause it to malfunction.

Do not cover with cloth

While the unit is in operation, do not cover it with a cloth or other material. This can cause the temperature to rise, leading to a malfunction.

After use

Set the POWER switch on the CCU to the OFF position.

Care

If the body or panels of the unit become dirty, wipe them with a dry cloth. For severe dirt, use a soft cloth steeped in a small amount of neutral detergent, then wipe dry. Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol or thinners, as these may damage the finish.

Low-loss Digital Transmission via Multi-core Cable

Digital data transmission between the camera and CCU minimizes image degradation regardless of transmission distance. However, some errors, for example errors due to external noise in long-distance transmission, may be corrected by partial image interpolation of images in frame store.

Multi-core transmission distances

The transmission distance allowed for Sony CCZ-A multi-core cable1) connections is between 5 m and 100 m2). The distance may decrease depending on the conditions, such as cable degradation.

1)CCZ-A5/10/25/50/100 cable

2)Based on a single CCZ-A100 cable used. Transmission range may vary when more than one cable is used.

Notes on using cable extension connectors (CCZZ-1E, CCZZ-1B):

Avoid using more than three connectors at the same time. Transmission range may decrease by 10 m when one cable connector is used.

Examples of cable connection

An equivalent cable length of up to 100 m is approved. With a length of more than 100 m, losses in the cable will not be compensated properly.

Error Messages

When an error is detected in the CCU or the camera, the ALARM indicator turns on and an error message is displayed on the CCU.
