The CCU-900/900P Camera Control Unit is connected to a CCD video
camera. It performs signal processing and provides an interface for
external equipment.
The CCU-900/900P may be combined with a BVP-9500WS/9500WSP
Super Motion Camera to establish a super motion camera system by
attaching an optional BKP-9330 board.
The CCU-900/900P may be combined with an MSU-700A/750 Master
Setup Unit (optional) or RCP-700-series Remote Control Panel (optional)
to form a camera control system. Further, a system capable of controlling
multiple video cameras may be made up by adding a CNU-500/700
Camera Command Network Unit.
The CCU-900/900P has the following features.
The CCU-900/900P has three SDI (Serial Digital Interface) signal outputs,
an SDI picture monitor output, and four component SDI signal inputs.
The CCU-900/900P also has two analog waveform monitor outputs, two
picture monitor outputs, and four return video inputs. It also has SDI AUX
signal input and output, and analog video input and output for tele-
prompter.
The input signal must be synchronized with the clock of the CCU-900/
900P.
Adding a BKP-9330 board (optional) enables SDI superslow output.
The CCU-900/900P can be locked with an external reference signal. Either
a sync signal or an SDI signal input to the SERIAL RET INPUT 1
connector may be used as the reference signal.
The CCU-900/900P can be connected to a camera using an optical-fiber
cable (two single-mode optical-fiber lines, two power lines, and two
control lines) for transmission of digitized video, audio, and control
signals. By connecting multiple 250-meter (820-foot) optical-fiber cables,
signals may be transmitted up to 3,000 meters (1.86 miles). The maximum
cable length for supplying power to the camera varies with the camera
system configuration and with the type of optical-fiber cable.
