2. INTRODUCTION AND KEYFEATURES 

 
 

CUNIMA 

– highest performance, ultra-compact design. In the case of the CUNIMA MCU[2], outer 

dimensions of just 36.5 x 36.5 x 111.5 mm provide enough space for a complete HD/SD multi-format 
camera - hence an external camera control unit is history, now. 
 
The latest CMOS chip technology and the globally renowned know-

how of the German ‘Fraunhofer 

Institut’ for Integrated Circuits allow for professional HD operations at a total weight of just 240g and 
an incredible maximum power consumption of 5W! 
 
CUNIMA is your perfect partner for sports, entertainment show, reality 

– you name it!   

 
The CUNIMA’s modular accessory concept permits a continuous and flexible adaptation of the camera 
to the respective production requirements. In this area, the wealth of experience gathered by the 
globally leading TV production expert, WIGE MEDIA AG, over the course of many years was 
incorporated 

– and the same applies to your individual demands. 

 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
Key Features: 
 

 

Revolutionary, compact design. 

 

No external Camera Control Unit required.
