Frequently Asked Questions - CNU-700 SONY

What is the maximum number of cameras that can be controlled with the CNU-700?

Without an optional board, up to 6 cameras can be controlled. With the optional BKP-7930 installed, this expands to 12 cameras.

How can I control multiple cameras from a single remote control panel?

Using 1-on-N control mode, a master setup unit can control two or more video cameras. The CNU-700 also supports N-on-1 and 1-on-1 modes.

What type of power cord is required for US operation?

For the USA, use a UL listed power cord with a NEMA 5-15P plug, SJT type, three 16 or 18 AWG wires, minimum 1.5 m length, rated 10 A, 125 V.

How do I set the unit for emergency operation?

Set the OPERATION switch on the internal board to EMERGENCY. This bypasses the CNU-700, allowing the remote control panel to directly control the video camera via the corresponding connector.

Can I connect two CNU-700 units together?

Yes, using the AUX1 and AUX2 connectors with a CCA-5 cable, you can connect up to two units to control up to 24 cameras and panels.

What is the purpose of the CHARACTER connectors?

They output character data as a black-and-white video signal (525 or 625 lines) that can be superimposed on camera output. The sync signal can be toggled via a switch on the AT board.

How do I connect the CNU-700 to a remote control panel?

Use a CCA-5 cable to connect the RCP connector on the CNU-700 to the CCU/CNU REMOTE connector on the remote control panel.

What are the storage temperature limits for the CNU-700?

The storage temperature range is -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to +140°F).

Does the CNU-700 support RS-232C control?

Yes, it has three RS-232C connectors (D-sub 9-pin). Functions depend on whether the optional BKP-7930 board is installed.

What should I do if the unit causes radio interference?

This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, it may cause interference. Ensure shielded cables are used and consult qualified service personnel if needed.

Manuals for the BVP/HDC-series video camera system

Three types of manuals are provided for the BVP/HDC-series video camera system: an Operation Manual, a Maintenance Manual, and a System Manual. The Operation Manual is provided for each device used in the system, and the Maintenance and System Manuals are provided as options.

In the Operation Manual, specific functions and

characteristics of the device, such as features, functions of each part and specifications, are described.

In the Maintenance and System Manuals, you will find general information on the system, such as possible system configurations, the setup method, connections, and system preparations and operations.

Overview

The CNU-700 Camera Command Network Unit is designed for use with a Sony BVP/HDC-series CCD video camera system used in a studio or outdoor broadcast applications. It switches and controls commands used for controlling the video camera system. You can connect multiple CCU/HDCU-series Camera Control Units (each with a BVP/HDC-series Color Video Camera connected), RCP-series Remote Control Panels, and an MSU-900/1000 Master Setup Unit to the CNU-700, which allows you to control any video camera using any remote control panel. The CNU-700 has the following features.

Flexibility of system configuration and high-speed processing

You can control the video cameras and control panels connected to the CNU-700 in any of the three combinations listed below. The CNU-700 allows you to specify which remote control panel controls which video camera so you can easily specify the combination of camera and control panel to be controlled after installation and connection of devices.

•1-on-1 control

One remote control panel or master setup unit controls one video camera.

•N-on-1 control

Two or more remote control panels and a master setup unit control one video camera.

•1-on-N control

One master setup unit controls two or more video cameras.

External control

The CNU-700 has an RS-232C interface for control from external equipment.

Wide extendibility

A single CNU-700 can control up to six video cameras and remote control panels. When you install an optional BKP-7930 CNU IF board in the CNU-700, you can configure a system using up to 12 video cameras and remote control panels. You can connect up to two CNU-700s each other so that up to 24 video cameras and remote control panels are controllable in a system.

Self-diagnostic capability

The CNU-700 outputs the results of self-diagnostics for equipment connected to the CNU-700, such as a video camera.

Emergency correspondence

If an irregularity in the operation of the equipment occurs, the remote control panel can directly control the video camera. When you set the OPERATION switch on the internal board to EMERGENCY, the signals from the remote control panel bypass the CNU-700 and go directly to the video camera connected to the connector of the same number as the remote control panel to continue operations.
