Overview
The HXCU-FB80 4K/HD Camera Control Unit (CCU) connects
to an HXC-FB80/HXC-FB75/E75 HD Color Camera or to a
CA-FB70 HD Camera Adaptor that is attached to a
PXW-Z450/X500/X400/X320 Solid-State Memory Camcorder
or PDW-850 Professional Disc Camcorder. It performs signal
processing, provides an interface for external equipment, and
supplies power to the camera.
Long distance connection is also supported using single-mode
fiber cables.
The CCU can be combined with an RCP-1000-series Remote
Control Panel (optional) to form a camera control system.
When combined with an HXC-FB80, it supports up-scaled
output at 4K (3840×2160) or HD-HDR signal (HLG) output.
The version of the unit and the HXC-FB80 to connect to the unit must
both be upgraded to version 1.10 or later for HD-HDR signal support.
For details, contact a Sony sales or service representative.

When you use only single-mode optical fiber cables for
connection, all signals (except power supply) can be
transmitted by a pair of single-mode optical fiber cables.
For details about pin assignment, see “CAMERA connector”
(page 37).
If the terminations of the single-mode optical fiber cable or optical
composite cable are contaminated with dust, etc., transmission errors
may occur. Be sure to replace the cap that came with the cable over
the termination when a cable is not in use.
