Overview
Overview
The HDCU3300R HD Super Motion Camera Control Unit
is to be connected to a Sony HDC3300R HD Super Motion
Color Camera. It carries out signal processing and
provides an interface for external equipment.
The HDCU3300R features a down converter, which
converts HD1) signals to SD2) signals, and a return video
up converter, which converts SD signals to HD signals,
making it usable with standard definition color video
cameras as well as a high-definition super slow-motion
color video cameras.
1) HD (High Definition) signal: A name for 1125/750-line high definition
TV signals
2) SD (Standard Definition) signal: A name for NTSC/PAL, 525/625
component, or 525/625 composite signals
The HDCU3300R may be combined with an MSU-900-
series Master Setup Unit (optional) or RCP-700/900-series
Remote Control Panel (optional) to form a camera control
system. Further, a system capable of controlling multiple
video cameras may be made up by adding a CNU-700
Camera Command Network Unit.
The HDCU3300R has the following major features.
Multiple video inputs and outputs
The HDCU3300R is equipped with a range of built-in
interfaces, such as the following:
- Two for each HD-SDI output of SS-A, B, and C
- Four HD-SDI outputs
- Four SDI outputs (HD-SDI/SD-SDI selectable)
- Four HD-SDI return inputs
- Four SD-SDI return inputs
- Four SD analog return inputs
- Two teleprompter inputs
In addition, a variety of output interfaces are offered via
optional boards.
HKCU1001 SD Encoder Unit and HKCU1003 Multi
Interface Unit
This board provides two analog VBS (NTSC/PAL) signal
outputs, an SD picture monitor output, and an SD
waveform monitor output.
The VDA-C board packed in the HKCU1003 cannot be
used.
HKCU1005 SDI Output Expansion Unit
This provides four HD-SDI or SD-SDI outputs.
External reference signals
The HDCU3300R can be locked to an external reference
signal. Either an HD tri-level sync signal or an SD sync
(black burst) signal may be used as the reference signal.
Built-in down converter
When the system is operating at a 59.94/50 Hz field
frequency, HD signals can be converted to SD component
SDI signals using the down converter. The output signal
aspect ratio may be set to 4:3 edge crop, 16:9 squeeze, or
letter box. The down converter has image enhancement,
gamma control, and matrix ON/OFF features, and can be
controlled externally.
Built-in simplified up converter
The HDCU3300R has a simplified up converter to allow
monitoring of SD signal return video using an HD
viewfinder. The aspect ratio of the return video signal may
be set to 4:3 edge crop, 16:9 squeeze, or letter box.
Optical digital transmission
The HDCU3300R may be connected to a camera using an
optical fiber cable (two single-mode optical fiber lines,
two power lines, two control lines) for the transmission of
digitized video, audio, and control signals. By connecting
together 500 meter (1,640 feet) optical fiber cables, signals
may be transmitted up to a maximum of 2,500 meters
(8,200 feet). The maximum length of the cable supplying
power to the camera varies with the camera system
configuration and with the type of optical fiber cable.
Safety-oriented power supply
The HDCU3300R is designed for safety. When the power
is turned on, a low voltage is supplied at first. Only after it
has been verified that an appropriated camera is attached,
the normal 240 V AC power supply is activated. The
power is not supplied unless a camera is connected via an
optoelectric cable.
Also, the HDCU3300R is equipped with an alarm
indicator to warn of open or short circuits in the cable.
It is not recommended to connect any camera other than
the HDC3300R to the HDCU3300R. If it is connected, the
HDCU3300R can supply power to the camera, but it
cannot communicate with the camera nor supply the video
signal from the camera, because of the different signal
interfaces.
Wide range of audio functions
The HDCU3300R has connectors for two-channel
microphone outputs, a digital audio output and a program

8Overview
audio input. Further, the HDCU3300R can use an intercom
system with two independent channels, and supports four-
wire and RTS/Clear-Com intercom systems.
For information on support for RTS/Clear-Com systems,
contact a Sony service or sales representative.
Remote control
The levels and phases of HDCU3300R output signals can
be controlled remotely by an MSU-900-series Master
Setup Unit.
Microphone volume control
The camera’s microphone volume can be controlled via
the MIC REMOTE connector.
Character monitor signal output
The results of the HDCU3300R self-diagnosis and setup
menu can be obtained with a text display by character
signal output.
Rack mountable
The HDCU3300R may be installed in a standard EIA 19-
inch rack (three units high).
Plug-in unit configuration
Internal printed circuit boards are designed for easy plug-
in and removal, which makes it easy to inspect and
maintain the unit.

Locations and Functions of Parts
iCAMERA connector (optical fiber connector)
Used to connect a video camera, using an optical fiber
cable. All video camera signals, including power supply,
control, video, and audio, are sent and received over one
optical fiber cable.
Dust on the connection surface of the optical fiber cable
may result in transmission errors. When not connected,
always cover the end of the connector with the supplied
cap.
jExpansion slots
For installation of an optional HKCU1001 SD Encoder
Unit, HKCU1003 Multi Interface Unit, or HKCU1005
SDI Output Expansion Unit.
For details on installation, contact a Sony service or sales
representative.
kINTERCOM/TALLY/PGM (intercom/tally/
program audio) connector (D-sub 25-pin)
Used for input and output of intercom, tally, and program
audio signals. Connect to the intercom/tally/program audio
connector of the intercom system.
lMIC REMOTE (microphone remote) connector
(D-sub 15-pin)
Using this connector, the video camera’s microphone
input level may be set by external equipment such as an
audio mixer, in five level (-60, -50, -40, -30, and -20 dB).
When shooting, set the volume to a level appropriate for
the audio conditions.
This connector also supplies a red tally signal and a green
tally signal.
The microphone input level may also be set using the setup
menu. For details on the setup menu, contact a Sony
service or sales representative.
mWF REMOTE (waveform monitor remote)
connector (D-sub 15-pin)
Used to attach to the appropriate connector on a recall-type
waveform monitor when operating the waveform monitor
display using an MSU-900-series Master Setup Unit or an
RCP-700/900-series Remote Control Panel.When using a
recall-type monitor, preset a display mode on the
waveform monitor, and then recall the mode externally.
For details on these operations, refer to the Master Setup
Unit or Remote Control Panel manuals.
nTRUNK LINE connector (D-sub 9-pin)
Used to connect to the CCU connector on a video camera
via an RS-232C interface. Used mainly for communication
with equipment on the camera side.
Communication with up to two channels is available.
oI/O PORT connector (D-sub 15-pin)
Used for remote control using an external control device.
Use of a case wider than 42 mm can cause interference at
connectors 2, 4, 5. It is recommended that you use a
JAE-made DA-C1-J10.
pWF MODE (waveform monitor mode output)
connectors (4-pin)
Connect to the appropriate connector on a waveform
monitor when monitoring a signal in sequential mode.
A sequence signal will be output when the SEQ button on
the RCP-700/900-series Remote Control Panel or the
MSU-900-series Master Setup Unit is pressed, allowing
simultaneous monitoring of the R, G, and B signals in
sequential mode. When both the RCP and MSU are in use,
this connector functions as the output connector for RCP
control.
For details on these operations, refer to the Master Setup
Unit or Remote Control Panel manuals.
qRCP/CNU connector (8-pin)
Used to connect to an MSU-900-series Master Setup Unit,
CNU-700 Camera Command Network Unit, or RCP-700/
900-series Remote Control Panel via a CCA-5 Connection
Cable. Control signals are sent and received via this
connector.
When using an RCP-700/900-series unit, power is also
supplied.
rTRUNK A connector (12-pin)
Used to connect to the CCU connector on a video camera
via an RS-232C or RS-422A interface. Communication
with up to two channels is available.
sMIC1, MIC2 (microphone output 1, 2) connectors
(XLR 3-pin)
Used to supply the microphone signal sent from the video
camera.
