CUNIMA MCU [2]
Operation Instructions
Congratulations for working with the Mini-HD-camera CUNIMA MCU[2]! You have chosen a high
quality camera which allows numerous ways to be used, for example as an onboard cam in
motorsports, as a fixed camera position on stage at concerts or even for stereoscopic 3D-productions.
The compact design looks quite similar to CUNIMA MCU[1] and it has almost the same dimensions,
but the motor that drives the body is completely new - new sensor, new electronics, new features!
With these, the CUNIMA MCU[2] fits perfectly into your advanced film- and stereo3D-production
workflow or live-broadcast - you name it!
Version 1.1 (FW1.10.0)

    3. SETUP Please notice that due to safety reasons this camera system may only be operated by trained staff! 3.1 CAMERA SETUP 1. Open the carrying case and check if all needed items are included (see chapter 2.2). 2. Remove the power supply and connect it with the cable device to a power source (220V- 240V).

  • Page 7: Lens Setup

    3.3 LENS SETUP The C-Mount screw is a socket to hold applicable lenses. In some cases, an adaptor-coil is needed to ensure the correct flange back. This is not exceptional, but a current way to counteract imprecise manufacturing. 3.2.1. Choosing a lens Independent of the focal length, there is an important characteristic of C-Mount lenses which should be considered when choosing a lens.

  • Page 8: Backfocus Adjustment

    3.4 BACKFOCUS ADJUSTMENT To ensure that you can use every lens with this camera properly, the housing of the CUNIMA lets you adjust the backfocus. To adjust the backfocus, please follow the instructions below: rotate the gearwheel clockwise to increase the rotate the gearwheel counterclockwise to backfocus decrease the backfocus...
  • Page 9 3.5.2 CONNECTION DIAGRAM 3.5.3 OPERATION You can use the RCP to control the iris/focus motor. Navigate to "IRIS" in the RCP Menu and spin the MASTER Encoder (see chapter 5) on the right, to open or close the iris.

  • Page 10: Inter Camera Communication (Icc)

    3.6 INTER CAMERA COMMUNICATION (ICC) The inter camera communication is especially developed for 3D purposes. With this feature you are able to sync two CUNIMA MCU [2] internal. This method for syncing both cameras is extremely exact because one pixel on one sensor is synced with the exact same pixel on the other sensor. To use the ICC, please follow the instructions below: 1) Connect both cameras with a 9-Pin fischercable 2) Set one Camera to SYNCMODE = MASTER...

    4. OPERATION In this chapter, there are control modes presented and explained in a detailed way. 4.1 ANALOG GAIN The analog image intensifier reads the CMOS image sensor and produces high quality results by boosting the brightness in case of low light situations or especially by reducing the sensor-sensitivity to avoid overexposure in situations with too much light.

  • Page 12: Gamma Correction

    Manual correction: To perform the correction manually, you have to shade the image completely. It is advisable to put the cap on to the lens to stop any light invasion. After that, use the RCP to perform the FPN correction what takes less than half a second. The correction is dependent on the Gain adjustments.

  • Page 13: Operation Mode

    Next to the normal color operation mode in HSDSI (4:2:2), Cunima MCU[2] offers an uncompressed RAW format. There are following modes: 4.6.1. Color Mode This is the standard mode. The camera starts in this one and is mainly used this way. At the exit of the camera is a HDSDI signal in 4:2:2 compression.

  • Page 14: Rcp - Remote Control Panel

    5. RCP - REMOTE CONTROL PANEL RCP – REMOTE CONTROL PANEL For a flexible control of one or more cameras without computer support, there are two different remote control panels available. The main difference between them is the operation mode and the quantity of cameras to be controlled.

    6.4 MENU The following menu items provide you access to all supported CUNIMA features (based on RCP Firmware 4.5): Select camera Selects between the control of the connector 1 and 2 on the right side of the control panel. Paint Color & Saturation Paints the color values in red, green and blue from -255 to 255.
  • Page 17 GAMMA Knee Sets the knee point on the gamma curve, which is the angle of the connection between the gamma black and white point on the curve. Range: 0-64 Format The Cunima camera is a multi format scanning camera, that provides most scanning formats for broadcast and feature films worldwide.
  • Page 18 Color Mode Values: COL, B/W, RAW COL: sets the ‘normal’ color mode. B/W: sets the black and white mode, all color values get desaturated. RAW: The CUNIMA camera provides you a RAW format with absolutely no changes on the image. That format is a black and white image with a Bayer-Pattern and needs to be debayered in post production.
