5.9.2. CCU System Compatibilities
Multicore CCU (HXCU-D70)
As already indicated in chapter 4.2., the HXC-D70 camera head can be
connected either to CCU-D50P (output only SDTV signals) or to the new
HXCU-D70 (HD- and SD-SDI outputs are available).
In case the CCU-D50P is connected to HXC-D70 via multicore cable, the
transmission is analogue (max. 300m).
In case the HXCU-D70 is utilized, the signal transmission is digital and the max.
multicore extension is 100m.
Fibre CCU (HXCU-FB70)
HXCU-FB70 can only be used in combination with the CA-FB70 camera
adaptor.
LEMO connectors are available as an option for HXCU-FB70 and CA-FB70,
however, there is no compatibility to the HDCU-series (HDCU-2000/-2500/-
1000/-1500). Only the SMPTE-Fibre Hybrid cable itself is compatible.
All CCUs of the HDC-2500/-1500 series
cannot be used
in combination with
the HXC-D70 series.
Triax CCU (HXCU-100 / HSCU-300 / HXCU-TX70)
There is a new digital triax CCU type for the CA-TX70 camera adaptor, the
HXCU-TX70. HXCU-100 and HSCU-300 can compatibly be used in combination
with the CA-TX70 adaptor.
The triax system of the DXC-D50/-D55
does not fit
to the HXC-D70 camera
(i.e.: CA-TX50 and CCU-TX50).
Please also refer to Appendix (7.3.)
5.9.3. Remote Control Options
The new HXCU-D70 is compatible to the 700-command-protocol and as such, all
remote control panels of the HDC-/HSC-series can compatibly been used. In peer-to-
peer operation, even MSU-1000/-1500 control is possible.
Exclusively for the use in combination with the HXC-D70 series, Sony developed the
new PC software (HZC-RCP5), to control up to 5 cameras via a very sophisticating
GUI from a PC.
Please refer to picture 47 (next page)
In this case, the HXCU-D70 CCUs are connected to the PC via an Ethernet Hub.
