Sony XDCU-50 HD Camera Extension Unit XDCU50

Sony XDCU-50 Features

• High-quality camera pictures are transmitted without degradation via digital signals
• The maximum cable length is 100 m (328 feet) between the camera adaptor and the XDCU-50
• Cabling is simplified as the signals for camera control, intercom, tally and timecode are embedded in the digital signal; only a pair of BNC cables and a single CCZ-A cable for the power supply are required between the camera adaptor and the XDCU-50
• The system is suitable for both HD and SD operation. Since the XDCU-50 has a down-converter function, when the camcorder is in HD mode, SD signals in Squeeze, Letterbox, or Edge Crop mode are available at the XDCU-50 along with HD-SDI from the XDCA-53
• The XDCU-50 is designed to fit into a standard 19-inch rack system, with a compact 1U height
• For camera parameter control, various remote controllers are available from Sony
• The XDCU-50 can supply power (up to 70 W) to the XDCA-55 adapter; this is sufficient to drive accessories such as a small display, or servo zoom system
• The XDCU-50 accepts black-burst signals and tri-level sync signals as a Genlock signal
• Two channels of tally for red and green are available. With the XDCA-55, the tally can be indicated on the camcorder's viewfinder screen
• A pair of RS-232C communication lines (TX and RX) are reserved so that users can utilize them for any purpose
