Sony HDCU-1500 CCU

The HDCU-1500 is a compact 3U half rack control unit designed for use with the HDC-1500 series cameras. The HDCU-1500 is equipped with a range of built-in interfaces such as HDSDI/SD SDI outputs, HD/SD return inputs, and a down-converted analogue composite monitor output.
Both HDC-1500 portable camera and the HDC-1000 full size camera can be used with this camera control unit.

Three outputs are provided as standard, which can be configured as HD SDI, SD SDI outputs. A built in downconvertor provides the SD outputs, and also one analogue composite output.
In addition, two option boards slots are available which can be used to provide up to 8 additional HD or SD SDI outputs.

The HDCU-1500 is a compact 3U half-rack unit, for a compact system solution.

As well as the HDC-1000 and HDC-1500 cameras, the HDCU-1500 can also be used with the previous generation of Sony HD portable cameras, the HDC-950.

A high quality downconvertor provides SD SDI and analogue composite outputs. The downconverted outputs can have their aspect ratio set to 4:3, or alternative modes such as letterbox or 15:9.

The digital optical fibre transmission system used in the unit maintains the high picture quality of the camera across cable runs of up to 1800 meters.
