System Compatibility
The BVP-E10 Series is fully compatible with current
Sony Camera Control Units. It seamlessly integrates
with the Sony BVP-900 Series, BVP-700 Series and
BVP-500 Series of camera systems and can be
controlled using existing Sony MSUs, CNUs and
RCPs. This allows systems from the very simplest to
the most complex to be built around BVP-E10 Series
cameras.

Wide Band Triax Transmission System
The BVP-E10 Series is intended for optimal picture
performance in outside broadcast applications as well
as in the production studio. Major sporting and
entertainment events regularly call for extended runs
of the triax cable connecting the camera head unit to
the remote CCU. In order to maintain the high picture
performance of the BVP-E10 Series, the Sony
wideband triax system has been incorporated. This
triax system offers cable runs of up to 2,000 m (with
return video and remote power) depending on the
CCU and triax cable type.

Fibre Optic Transmission System
In the event that even longer cable runs are required,
the BVP-E10 Series is capable of fully digital
transmission when used with a Sony CA-950 Fibre
Optic Camera Adaptor and a CCU-900 Fibre Optic
Camera Control Unit. The optical cables transmit the
video signal in the digital domain, while extending the
transmission distance up to 3,000 m* with power and
return V/F, and up to 10,000 m* when utilizing local
power. Adaptors are also available to provide interface
between this system an standard telecoms fibre
cables.
* The transmission distance may vary depending on the cable
characteristics and number of connections made in the
entire cable run
