Overview

The CCU-790/790P Camera Control Unit provides a variety of remote control and adjustment functions for the processing of signals from a BVP-E10/E10P/E10WS/E10WSP/E30/E30P/E30WS/E30WSP CCD Color Video Camera, and can be used in Electronic Field Production (EFP) or studio work. Signal control is performed with an optional MSU-900/950 Master Setup Unit or an RCP-750/751/920/921 Remote Control Panel.

The CCU-790/790P has the following features:

Wide variety of system configurations• The optional CA-905K/F/T 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.

• 3 output lines (composite video or SDI can be selected as the output signal) are provided.

• 3 SDI output lines are provided (available only when SDI signal output is selected for the VBS/SDI-1 connector).

• The CCU-790/790P supports communications between the video camera and the CCU-790/790P over either a triax cable or coaxial cable. (Power, however, is not supplied to the video camera in the case of coaxial cable.)

• When a video camera equipped with the AC OUT connector is connected to the CCU-790/790P, the video camera can supply power which is supplied from the CCU-790/790P to an external device through the AC OUT connector. This can be done by the setting on the video camera.

For details, refer to the Operation Manual supplied with the video camera.

10-MHz, wideband triax 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. The triax cable length can be extended from 50 to 1,000 m (with Fujikura φ8.5 mm cables), 75 to 1,500 m (with BELDEN 9232 φ13.2 mm cables), or 100 to 2,000 m (with Fujikura φ14.5 mm cables).

• The CCU-790/790P supports teleprompter signal transmission. Teleprompter signals can be transferred over distances of 50 to 500 m (with Fujikura φ8.5 mm cables), 75 to 750 m (with BELDEN 9232 φ13.2 mm cables), or 100 to 1,000 m (with Fujikura φ14.5 mm cables).

Rack mountableThe CCU-790/790P is three-units high and can be mounted in a 19-inch EIA standard rack.

For details on the rack mounting, refer to the System Manual.

Production of some of the peripherals and related devices described in this manual has been discontinued. For advice about choosing devices, please contact your Sony dealer or a Sony sales representative.
