Overview
The HKCU-REC55 Recording Option is designed to be
installed in an HDCU5500/3500 Camera Control Unit and
enables recording of signals from a camera connected to
the camera control unit (CCU).
It is equipped with internal storage memory, which
supports recording and playback, and supports file transfer
to external storage, such as a USB drive or NAS. It supports
the ISO REC function1) by transferring files to external
storage while recording to internal storage.
HD signal recording, playback, and file transfer are
supported by attaching the HKCU-REC55 to an HDCU3500.
4K (QFHD) signal and HD signal simultaneous recording,
playback, and file transfer are supported by installing
HZCU-UHD35 4K/HDR Processor Software and an
HZCU-UHDR50 4K Recording License on an HDCU3500.
4K (QFHD) signal and HD signal simultaneous recording,
playback, and file transfer are supported by installing an
HZCU-UHDR50 4K Recording License on an HDCU5500.
The unit is controlled using PWA-RCT1 Record Control
Software.
1) ISO REC (ISOlation RECording): Function to record to external
storage separately from the internal storage of the unit for
backup or other purposes.

Storage
Internal Storage
The unit is equipped with internal storage of 0.6 TB, which
can be used for recording and playback of the video signal
from the camera.
The following table shows the recording time for each
format.
The maximum number of files that can be created in
internal storage is 2048.
Internal storage settings and information
display
Configure the internal storage on the [Storage] screen >
[Setup] tab
(page 29) of the web menu.
Information relating to internal storage is displayed on the
[Storage] screen > [Info] tab (page 28) of the web menu.
Salvaging storage when recording ends
abnormally
When recording ends and the signal bar stops flashing in
blue, set the POWER switch on the front panel off to finish
operation of the unit. Recording will not end normally if the
power switch is turned off or the power cord is
disconnected during recording. If this happens, the file
system will not be updated and the video/audio data that
was recorded in real time will not be recognized as a file,
resulting in the content of the file that was recorded being
lost.
The unit is equipped with a function (salvage function) for
restoring the data in memory with minimal loss. The
salvage function allows the file to be restored based on
marker and other information recorded to memory.
The salvage process can take a few seconds or up to 10
minutes, depending on the state of the memory when the
recording was interrupted.
• Before disconnecting the power cord on the connector
panel, switch the unit off using the POWER switch on the
front panel.
• The salvage function is designed to salvage as much
recorded material as possible in the event that an
unforeseen accident occurs, but there is no guarantee
that 100% of the data will be restored.
• Data immediately before recording was interrupted
cannot be restored even if you execute this function.
Approximately one second of data prior to the
interruption is lost.
• A dialog prompting you to salvage or format is displayed
each time you turn the power on if there are files that
have not been restored.
• Recording and playback cannot be performed if files have
not been restored.
• Formatting memory will immediately enable you to use it
again as storage, but all recorded data will be lost.
• Even if data is successfully restored after a salvage, it is
recommended that you transfer files you want to keep to
external network storage or run playback to copy the files
to other media, and then reformat the memory.
Restoring files using salvage
1 If memory for which recording did not end normally
is detected, a warning message appears on the web
menu screen and a confirmation message appears
prompting you to salvage or format memory.
The salvage process cannot be stopped once it is
started. Allow plenty of time for the salvage process to
complete.
2Select [FS Salvage] on the [Storage] screen of the
web menu.
The salvage process begins and a “Please wait.”
message appears.
The message window closes automatically when the
process ends.
When files cannot be restored using salvage
If files cannot be restored even by performing a salvage, the
internal memory cannot be used in this condition.
Formatting memory will enable you to use it again.
1 If memory for which recording did not end normally
is detected, a warning message appears on the web
menu screen and a confirmation message appears
prompting you to salvage or format memory.
2Select [FS Format] on the [Storage] screen of the web
menu.
The format process begins and a “Please wait.”
message appears.
The message window closes automatically when the
process ends.
USB Drives
A USB drive connected to the unit can be used for recording
and playback of the video signal from the camera.
Format the USB drive in exFAT.
The following Sony USB drives have been tested and
verified with the unit.

•PSZ-HC2T,HCIT
The unit may not operate correctly if a USB drive other than
those above is used. If this occurs, contact your Sony
service or sales representative.
• The transfer speed may vary depending on the USB drive
and USB cable used.
• Use an SSD if transfer speed is a priority.
• Operation is not guaranteed when a USB hub is
connected or a USB drive that uses a conversion adapter
is connected.
