Overview
Overview
Features
The CNA-1 is a network device for
expansion of the Sony camera network
system.
You can build a flexible camera network
system by using the Master device
function, CCA-LAN converting function,
or transport converting function. The
remote control function for the HD
Cutout function of the BPU (Baseband
Processor Unit) allows you to control
the HD Cutout frame by connecting the
USB controller to the CNA-1.
Also, the CNA-1 supports the Gateway
function. This extension allows you to
expand the camera network system by
adding a control panel or camera that
conforms to the simple protocol
provided from the CNA-1 to the camera
network system.
Master device function
By working the CNA-1 as the master
device of the camera network system,
you can operate the MCS (multi-
camera system) without using the MSU.
CCA to LAN converting
If you connect the CNA-1 to the camera
network system via a LAN, and connect
the CCU or RCP device to the CNA-1
with the CCA cable, you can add the
CCU or RCP device easily to the
camera network system without
including them on the LAN.
Transport converting
Using the two CNA-1s converts the
network protocol between a camera
and control panel, and allows you to
operate in a network environment with
many delays or operate using the
RS232/422 connection.
HD Cutout control function
You can control the HD Cutout frame of
the BPU with the USB controller that is
connected to the CNA-1 by connecting
the CNA-1 to the BPU via LAN.
Gateway function
The CNA-1 can convert the protocol of
the camera network system to a simpler
protocol.
This protocol allows you to develop
various applications easily and add
them to the camera network system.

Starting and stopping the CNA-1 / Menu operation
Starting and
stopping the
CNA-1
The CNA-1 does not have the power
button. When you connect the CNA-1 to
the power supply (CCU or hub that is
compatible with PoE) and start to feed,
the CNA-1 starts.
To stop the CNA-1, turn off the power
supply (that feeds to the CNA-1) or
remove the cable from the CNA-1.
• Do not stop the CNA-1 while the
ACCESS indicator is flashing.
• The AUX REMOTE connector does
not support power supply from the
CCU.
• When using a power supply other
than PoE, use a hub that is not
compatible with PoE.

Function Setting
Transport converting with
LAN
The communication between the two
CNA-1s is established with the simple
protocol by converting the camera
network system protocol to the simple
protocol. You can perform the camera
control on a network with many delays
in which the camera network system
protocol is not compatible.
About the usable network
You cannot use the Internet. Use a
secure private network that is
independent of other systems or
networks and satisfy the following
conditions.
