Overview
Product Features
The CCU-M5A/M5AP is a camera control unit that
works with various color video cameras including
DXC-327B series, DXC-D35 series, DXC-D35WS
series, DXC-D30 series, and DXC-D30WS series via
the camera adaptor such as CA-537/537P. The
features of this product are described below.
Remote adjustment of camera operating
parameters
The unit allows you to remotely set camera
parameters, such as the automatic or manual settings of
white balance, black balance, and lens iris, the gain
level of the video amplifier, and the pedestal level.
Support of various input and output
signals
In addition to conventional composite video signals
(VBS), the unit outputs component video signals and
S-video signals (RGB video signal output can be
selected through an output switch on the rear of the
unit). An input connector for an external sync signal is
also provided.
Built-in cable compensation circuit
A built-in circuit provides compensation for bandwidth
loss that occurs during transmission through high-
frequency components and for drops in signal level for
cable extensions of up to 300 meters (about 999 feet).
In the case of composite video signals (VBS), fine
adjustment can be done independently for the
luminance signal and chrominance signal, respectively.
Return video and teleprompter signals
The unit allows the input and monitoring in the
camera’s viewfinder of return video signals from a
special effects generator or control console, and
provides connectors for the reception and relay of
teleprompter signals.
Tally/intercom function
A tally/intercom function allows the operator of the
control unit, the camera person, and the control
console operator to communicate with one another.
Rack mounting
The unit can be mounted in a standard EIA 19-inch
rack.
