The CCU-550A/550AP Camera Control Unit provides a variety of remote
control and adjustment functions for the processing of signals from a BVP-
550/570/750/750P/950/950P CCD Color Video Camera, and can be used
in Electronic Field Production (EFP) or studio work.
The CCU-550A/550AP has the following features:
•The optional CA-905K/F large-lens adaptor allows a large lens to be
fitted onto the portable video camera and used in conjunction with the
BVF-77/77CE 7-inch B/W Viewfinder.
•When the optional BKP-5972 SDI Output Board is attached, two SDI
signal output lines (component video and two channels of embedded
audio) may be used.
•When equipped with the optional BKP-5973 CCU Control Panel, the
BKP-5973 can be used to control the video camera directly, without the
use of a RCP-700 Series Remote Control Panel or the RM-B150 Remote
Control Unit.
Note
The BKP-5973 does not work when the CCU-550A/550AP is connected
to the CNU-700/500 Camera Network Unit.
•When the optional BKP-5974 DC Power Unit is attached, a DC power
source may be used.
•The CCU-550A/550AP supports communications between the video
camera and the CCU-550A/550AP over either a triax cable or coaxial
cable. (Power, however, is not supplied to the video camera in the case
of coaxial cable.)
•Prompter signal transmission.
•Wideband triax transmission with Y signal at 10 MHz, R-Y and B-Y
signals at 6 MHz is used for inputting video signals from the video
camera. Maximum length of triax cable is 700 meters (with diameter of
8.5 mm), 1,050 meters (BELDEN 9232 with diameter of 13.2 mm), or
1,400 meters (with diameter of 14.5 mm).
Two CCU-550A/550APs can be mounted side by side in a standard 19-
inch EIA rack when using an optional RMM-301 Rack Mount Adaptor.
