Control System
A A wide choice of control panels are available,
including MSU-700A/750 Master Setup Units, RCP-
700 series remote control panels, and CNU-700/500
Command Network Units. These allow each user to
configure the most suitable system to meet a specific
operational need. The following are the key
peripherals. (For detailed information, please refer to
chapter 4)
2-5-1
The MSU-700A/750 Master Setup Unit can be used for
remote control of the BVP-E10 Series Color Video
Camera via the respective Camera Control Unit (CCU).
Up to 6 cameras can be controlled in combination with
the CNU-700 Camera Command Network Unit (up to
12 cameras by using an expansion board). The master
setup unit is connected to CCU via a Camera
Command Network Unit (CNU) using a dedicated
cable of up to 200 m (656 feet) in length. The adoption
of an Electro Luminescent (EL) Touch Panel in the
MSU-700A/750 helps to simplify the operation of its
sophisticated control system. In addition data such as
scene files can be stored in a Memory Stick (PC card).
2-5-2
The Camera Command Network Units are designed to
be the nerve centre of the Sony camera control system
for the HDC and BVP Series of cameras including the
BVP-E10 Series. They work as 'Command Selector',
'Command Distributor' and 'Command Arbitrator'.
These two types of camera command network units
give a cost/performance choice. The CNU-500 is
suitable for applications with up to six cameras, while
the standard six cameras capability of the CNU-700
can be expanded to 12 cameras with use of the BKP-
7930 optional expansion board. The carefully
designed software and the high-speed CPU of both
the CNU-700 and CNU-500 give them a fast response
time whatever the system configuration.
2-5-3
The VCS-700 Video Selector is used to switch
composite video monitoring signals from a BVP-E10
Series multi-camera system to a picture monitor and
waveform monitor. The VCS-700 accepts the video
monitoring signal from up to six CCU-700A/ 700AP/
550A/ 500AP/ 900/ 900P Camera Control Units and
switches these signals to two picture monitor outputs
and two waveform monitor outputs. The selection of
monitoring signals can be controlled by the camera
selection buttons on the MSU-700A/750 Master Set-up
Unit, or by external control equipment through the D-
sub 37-pin I/O port on the VCS-700. For SDI
monitoring, the optional BKP-7933 S-Bus Interface
Board provides connection to a Sony digital routing
system.
2-5-4
There are two types of Remote Control Panel for the
BVP-E10 Series. Each type has a choice of two models
offering eitherjoystick control or dial control of the iris
and master black adjustments. The RCP-750/751 is
the top of the range for sophisticated operational use,
and can be used as an alternative to the MSU-700A/
750 Master Set-up Unit in some applications. The RCP-
Master Set-up Unit (MSU-700A
and MSU-750)
Camera Command Network Units
(CNU-700 and CNU-500)
Video Selector (VCS-700)
Remote Control Panels (RCP-700
Series)
700/701 features the basic control items required for
daily operation of acquisition camera systems, and is
very compact, permitting a large number of cameras
to be controlled in a limited space. The RCP-700/701
can also be used as a sub-control panel to support an
MSU-700A or RCP-750/751.
The panel is connected to the CCU-Series Camera
Control Unit (or the CNU-Series Camera Command
Network Unit, which is connected to the CCU-Series)
by a cable of up to 200 m (656 feet) in length.
