Overview
The BPU4800 Baseband Processor Unit connects to an
HDC4800 Color Camera, using an optical fiber cable, and
performs signal processing and video output of the signal
from the camera.
The unit is equipped with high-speed, large-capacity storage
for recording and playback of signals from a camera.
• When the 4K HFR option1) is installed, recording 4K
(3840×2160) at 8×/4× speed is supported.
• When the HD HFR option2) is installed, recording HD
(1920×1080) at 16×/8× speed is supported.
• When the option memory board3) is installed,
recording/playback of up to four hours of 4K at 8× speed is
supported.
1) SZC-4008 4K HFR software
2) SZC-2016 HD HFR software
3) SKC-MEM4 extension memory board
It supports the Share Play function for file sharing when
connected to a PWS-4500 Production Video Server via a
network connection, allowing you to play back BPU4800
content from the PWS-4500. It supports the high dynamic
range and wide color gamut required for high-definition video
production. It also supports transmission over IP for high
affinity with network infrastructures.
The unit can be connected to an HDCU2000-series Camera
Control Unit for conventional camera system operation,
supplying power to the camera and transferring various
signals (such as intercom, tally, prompter, and audio).

Connection and Setup
4K System Connection
A 4K format camera system is formed by connecting the unit
to a HDC4800 Color Camera and HDCU2000/2500 Camera
Control Unit (CCU) using optical fiber cables.
Functions provided by the CCU (genlock, power supply to the
video camera, and various interface functions) can be used as-
is.
HD signals down-converted from the 4K signal can be output
from SLOT2, SLOT3, and the CCU.
Slow-speed playback and clip/playlist management are
supported using PWA-PRC1 Production Control Software
and a PWSK-4403 USB Control Device by connecting a
PWS-110PR1 Production Control Station to the unit.

The unit can be used to form a video signal extension system
by connecting it to a HDC4800 Color Camera using an optical
fiber cable.
The system can be synchronized because using the external
genlock function.
Intercom systems and multi-camera operation systems are
not supported.
An external power supply or power supplied from the CCU
connector of an HDCE-200 is also required for the camera,
since power is not supplied from the unit.
HD signals can be output from the SLOT1, SLOT2, and
SLOT3 outputs.
Slow-speed playback and clip/playlist management are
supported using PWA-PRC1 Production Control Software
and a PWSK-4403 USB Control Device by connecting a

(1920×1080), and HD Cutout mode is shown in the following
tables.
The format of the output signal from the NMI-LAN connector
is the same as for the SDI connector, but the NMI-LAN output
has some limitations (see table footnotes).

About Recording Times
The recording times for the combination of recording format
(picture size, frame rate, recording rate) and optional SKC-
MEM4 extension memory boards are listed in the following
table.
The recording time assumes that all memory space is
recorded as HFR data (does not include XAVC transcode
region)
The maximum recording time may be reduced depending on
the number of clips recorded.
