Overview

The HDCU3100 Camera Control Unit connects to an

HDC3500 Color Camera, HDC3100 Fiber Color Camera, or

HDC2000-series1) or HSC300RF/100RF HD Color Camera,

with an optical fiber cable, and carries out signal processing,

provides an interface with external equipment, and supplies

power to the camera.

The HDCU3170 Camera Control Unit connects to an

HDC3500 Color Camera 2) or HDC3170 Triax Color Camera,

with a triax cable, and carries out signal processing, provides

an interface with external equipment, and supplies power to

the camera.

The unit is equipped with a down-converter for converting HD

signals 3) transferred from the camera to SD signals 4) and an

up-converter for converting SD signals to HD signals, which

give the unit the flexibility to operate in both high-definition and

standard-definition camera systems.

The unit may be combined with an RCP-1500/1000 series

Remote Control Panel (optional) to form a camera control

system. In addition, by combining the unit with an MSU-1000/

1500 Master Setup Unit (optional), you can form a system

capable of controlling multiple cameras.

Operation in an IP transmission system is also supported by

attaching the HKCU-SFP30 ST-2110 Interface Kit (optional) to

the HDCU3100/HDCU3170.

Connection with Sony cameras that support optical fiber

transmission over a single-mode fiber cable is also supported

by attaching the HKCU-SM30 Single Mode Fiber Connector

Kit (optional).

In addition, the HDCU3170 can support both fiber and triax

transmission by attaching the HKCU-FB30 Optical Fiber

Connector Kit (optional).

1) HDC2000 series: HDC2000/2580/2500/2400/1700

2) Attachment of the optional HKC-TR37 Triax Transmission Adaptor

and HKC-CN50 Side Panel Attachment Kit is required.

3) HD (high-definition) signals: Generic name for 1125-/750-line

HDTV signals.

4) SD (standard-definition) signals: Generic name for NTSC/PAL

signals, 525/625 component signals, and 525/625 composite

signals.

* Some models may not be available in certain countries or regions.

System Configuration

Production of some of the peripherals and related devices shown in the figures may have been discontinued.

PROMPTER2/VBS-RET is set to DISABLE, the input signal is

output from the other connector as-is (loop-through). If loop-

through output is not used, terminate the unused connector at

75 ohms. When PROMPTER2/VBS-RET is set to ENABLE,

both connectors become inputs and they are terminated at

75 ohms inside the unit.

If the signal used is a 1.0 Vp-p, 75-ohm analog signal, it may

be output from the PROMPTER OUT connector of the video

camera with a frequency bandwidth of 5 MHz, regardless of

signal format.
