Ethernet Trunk Channel; Teleprompter Channels; Slomo Function (Dual Speed) - Sony HDC-25 Series Technical Information

Technical Information: Sony HD System Cameras

2.5.5. Ethernet Trunk Channel

The HDC-2500-series is the first system camera featuring an Ethernet Trunk Channel
function. The HDCU-2000/-2500 features an RJ-45 connector allowing to send an IP-
signal from the CCU to the camera head. There is another RJ-45 connector on the
right side of the camera head to output the IP-signal.
This function allows sending protocols via fibre cable to control third party equipment
(such as 3D rigs etc...).
Another interesting application works in combination with the new NXL-IP55 system.
By using these converter boxes, it is possible to send up to four HD-SDI signals via
the Ethernet trunk channel embedded in the fibre transmission system. Hence, up to
3 cameras can be connected to the NXL-IP55 and their HD-SDI signal is then
transmitted via IP protocol to the output of the HDCU-2000/-2500.

2.5.6. Teleprompter Channels

The new HDC-2500-series features a variety of Teleprompter channels depending on
the HCU-type used:

2.5.7. SloMo Function (Dual Speed)

The HDC-2000/-2500 cameras come equipped with a 2xSloMo function (standard
feature). For HDC-2570/-2400/-2400DF types, the SloMo frame rates (1080/100i;
119.88i and 720/100P; 119.88P) are a software option (HCZ-DFR20).
The HDCU-2000/-2500 can output a SloMo signal (2x) and a normal speed signal
simultaneously, thus eliminating the needs of purchasing dedicated SloMo cameras.
