Overview
The CCU-TX50/50P is a camera control unit that
connects to DXC-D50 Series Color Video Cameras via
the CA-TX50/50P Camera Adaptor.
Features of this unit are described below.
Full-featured signal transfer functions
• The CCU-TX50/50P is able to transfer wide band
component video signals.
• The maximum triaxial cable length that can be used to
connect this unit to a camera adaptor is max. 750 m
(when using a Belden φ8.5 mm cable) or 1125 m
(when using a Belden φ13.2 mm cable).
• Transfer functions are provided for the following
signals.
