Overview
The HDCU4300 Camera Control Unit connects to a HDC4300
Color Camera or HDC-P43 Multi Purpose Camera1) with an
optical fiber cable, and carries out the processing of video
signals from the camera and provides an interface with
external equipment.
Connecting a camera facilitates 4K video shooting or HD high
frame rate video shooting. HD normal speed video and SD
normal speed video can even be simultaneously output when
4K video shooting and HD high frame rate video shooting.
Any one of the following option products (sold separately) can
be installed in the unit at a time.
HKCU-IP43F Networked Media Interface Board
Enables output of video signals and audio signals as IP
signals.
2)
HKCU-4001 ST 2110 Interface Kit
Enables operation of the unit in an IP transmission system that
conforms to the SMPTE ST 2110 standard.2)
HKCU-4002 12G-SDI Extension Kit
Enables 12G-SDI output and 6G-SDI output.
1) To connect to the HDC-P43, an HKCU-SM100 CCU Extension
Adaptor and a single-mode fiber cable are required.
2) An SFP+ module is required to use IP output.
This unit may be combined with an MSU-1000 series Master
Setup Unit (optional) or an RCP-3000/1000 series Remote
Control Panel (optional) to form a camera control system. This
enables you to configure a system capable of controlling
multiple video cameras.
Before operating the system, check that the software and
ROM versions of each of this unit, HDC4300, HDC-P43,
MSU-1000 series, and RCP-3000/1000 series are supported.

2) Selectable only when the format is set to 720P.
1x video can be output at the same time from SLOT2 and
SLOT3.
The HFR imaging function is dependent on the software
version of the connected camera. Check the compatibility of
each device before use.

HDR Video System
When a 4K format camera system is selected, the dynamic
range of the camera can be enhanced to produce HDR video
output from SLOT1 by setting HDR MODE to Live HDR.
Set the HDR Look at the same time.
HDR/SDR or 4K/HD can be output from SLOT1.
The HD output from SLOT2, SLOT3, and SLOT4 is always
SDR video.
HDR Look
The HDR Look is a setting that determines the basic Look
(visual performance, attractiveness) of the HDR video.
This is a basic setting that determines how the image captured
by the camera will be displayed on the display as an HDR
image. You can select from the following three settings.
Live: Characteristics based on the traditional Look derived
from current SDR images. A powerful image with strong
contrast and high color density. Wide dynamic range with
substantial image brightness, capturing highlights without
overexposure.
Mild: Based on the Live setting but with an overall milder
image characteristic.
Natural: HLG original Look. Calm, gentle color density. The
actual sensitivity setting is reduced, but with better S/N
ratio. Natural can be selected only when the output signal
OETF setting is HLG.

Relationship between Connection Type and BNC Connector Assignment
The names of output interfaces in Table 1 correspond to
connector assignments in Table 2 (page 19). Check the output
interface for the format you want to use in Table 1, then check
the signal assignments to BNC connectors in Table 2.

Paint Functions in HDR MODE and COLOR SPACE
Some paint functions are disabled, depending on the HDR
MODE and COLOR SPACE settings on the HDCU4300.
Disabled items can still be adjusted from the PAINT menu on
