Overview
The CCU-900/900P Camera Control Unit is connected to a CCD video
camera. It performs signal processing and provides an interface for
external equipment.
The CCU-900/900P may be combined with a BVP-9500WS/9500WSP
Super Motion Camera to establish a super motion camera system by
attaching an optional BKP-9330 board.
The CCU-900/900P may be combined with an MSU-700A/750 Master
Setup Unit (optional) or RCP-700-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-500/700
Camera Command Network Unit.
The CCU-900/900P has the following features.
Multiple video inputs and outputs
The CCU-900/900P has three SDI (Serial Digital Interface) signal outputs,
an SDI picture monitor output, and four component SDI signal inputs.
The CCU-900/900P also has two analog waveform monitor outputs, two
picture monitor outputs, and four return video inputs. It also has SDI AUX
signal input and output, and analog video input and output for tele-
prompter.
The input signal must be synchronized with the clock of the CCU-900/
900P.
Adding a BKP-9330 board (optional) enables SDI superslow output.
External reference signals
The CCU-900/900P can be locked with an external reference signal. Either
a sync signal or an SDI signal input to the SERIAL RET INPUT 1
connector may be used as the reference signal.
Optical digital transmission
The CCU-900/900P can be connected to a camera using an optical-fiber
cable (two single-mode optical-fiber lines, two power lines, and two
control lines) for transmission of digitized video, audio, and control
signals. By connecting multiple 250-meter (820-foot) optical-fiber cables,
signals may be transmitted up to 3,000 meters (1.86 miles). The maximum
cable length for supplying power to the camera varies with the camera
system configuration and with the type of optical-fiber cable.

5
Safety-oriented power supply
The CCU-900/900P 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 power supply is
activated. The power is not supplied unless a camera is connected via an
optoelectric cable.
Also, the CCU-900/900P is equipped with an alarm indicator to warn of
open or short circuits in the cable.
Wide range of audio functions
The CCU-900/900P has connectors for two-channel microphone output, a
digital audio output, and a program audio input. Further, the CCU-900/
900P can use an intercom system with two independent channels. An SDI
embedded audio signal can be used for the microphone output connectors,
and for the program audio input connector. For information on support for
RTS and CLEARCOM systems, contact a Sony service representative.
Remote control
The levels and phases of CCU-900/900P output signals can be controlled
remotely using an MSU-700A/750 Master Setup Unit.
Microphone volume control
The camera’s microphone volume can be controlled via the MIC
REMOTE or INCOM REMOTE connector.
Red and green tally output
Red tally and green tally signals can be output from the MIC REMOTE
connector.
Character signal output
The results of the CCU-900/900P self-diagnosis can be output as text
display.
Rack mountable
The CCU-900/900P can be installed in a standard EIA 19-inch rack (three
units high).

6
Plug-in unit configuration
Internal printed circuit boards are designed for easy plug-in and removal.
The power supply is also a plug-in type unit, for easy inspection and
maintenance.
Dual camera system configurable
Mutually connecting SDI AUX inputs and outputs of two cameras enables
establishing a dual camera system with an optical-fiber cable.

5CABLE ALARM indicator
SHORT: This indicator lights when there is a short
circuit between a power supply line and the sheath
of the optical-fiber cable, or when the two power-
supply lines are shorted. When this indicator
lights, the power supply is shut off. (If the
optical-fiber cable is long, this indicator may light
for a few seconds after the main power is turned
on until the short-circuit detection circuitry begins
operating normally. This is not a malfunction.)
OPEN: Lights when there is no camera connected
via an optical-fiber cable to the CAMERA
connector on the rear panel.
The indicator blinks slowly when reception of
light is in WARNING status, and blinks fast when
it is in CARE status.
6MAIN POWER switch and indicator
Turns on/off the power to the entire system, consisting
of the CCU-900/900P, a video camera, an RCP-700-
series Remote Control Panel connected via the
REMOTE connector, etc. Setting the switch to the ?
position turns the power on, and setting it to aturns it
off. The indicator is lit when the power supply is on.
7CAMERA POWER switch and indicator
Turns on/off the power to the camera when the MAIN
POWER switch is on. Setting the switch to the ?
position turns the power on, and setting it to aturns it
off.
When a remote control panel is connected and the
power supply is turned off with the CAM PW button
on the remote control panel, this switch alone cannot
be used to turn on the power of the video camera.

Note
Dust on the connection surface of the optical-fiber
cable may result in transmission errors. When not
connected, always cover the end with the supplied cap.
