Camera Control Unit  
CCU-TX7P  
MAIN FEATURES  
transfer high quality digital signals with  
just one cable to SDI ready units. Using  
the SDI interface, a total digital DXC  
system becomes a reality.  
Hig h Q u a lity Tria x  
Tw o In p u ts fo r Re tu rn Vid e o  
The CCU-TX7P has two RETURN  
VIDEO inputs (BNC type) and therefore  
accept return video signals (VBS colour)  
from two different systems. Two  
channels of return video can be selected  
from the Sony CA-TX7P Camera  
Adaptor.  
Tra n sm issio n  
The CCU-TX7P also employs analogue  
component video transmission, with a  
9MHz bandwidth for the luminance (Y)  
signal and 4.5MHz for the colour  
difference signals (R-Y/B-Y) . This  
assures high quality and the provision of  
various video outputs from the CCU.  
Note* The CCU-TX7P (Serial No. less than 41000)  
needs some modification to accommodate the  
SDI outputs. Please contact your nearest  
Sony office.  
O th e r Sig n a l O u tp u ts  
The CCU-TX7P provides two composite  
outputs, and two component output  
selectable from Y/R-Y/B-Y, R/G/B and  
Y/C. The CCU-TX7 also has a 4-pin  
WF MODE (waveform monitor mode)  
connector for flickerless parade  
monitoring of signals, in addition to a  
WF output and a PIX (picture monitor)  
output.  
Co lo u r Te le p ro m p te r Fa cility  
The CCU-TX7P can be used with colour  
teleprompter facilities. Since reverse  
signal transmission (CA -> CCU) is  
supported using a teleprompter video  
channel in a triax cable, it is also  
possible to transmit video signals other  
than those for teleprompter from CA to  
CCU, if necessary.  
Lo n g Dista n ce Tra n sm issio n  
Cable length can be extended up to a  
maximum of 1500m via ø14.5mm triax  
cable (with return video) (Fujikura),  
1125m via ø13.2mm cable (Belden) or  
750m via ø8.5mm cable (Fujikura,  
Belden). Teleprompter video channel  
can also be transmitted over a limited  
length of cable.  
* For detailed information, please contact your  
nearest Sony office.  
Hig h Sp e e d Hig h Q u a lity Se ria l  
Da ta Tra n sm issio n  
Data at up to a resolution of 10-bits can  
be transmitted with high speed via serial  
data transmission using a triax cable.  
This provides the benefits of smooth,  
real-time control with instant tactile  
response from remote control devices.  
AC/ DC O p e ra tio n  
The CCU-TX7P is designed to operate  
on not only AC but also DC power with  
both an AC inlet and, for DC 12V (10.5V  
to 17V), a DC inlet. DC operation  
greatly expands system flexibility in  
outside broadcast applications.  
Dig ita l Sig n a l O u tp u ts  
The CCU-TX7P provides two SDI  
outputs when the optional DXBK-701  
SDI Output Board is installed. It can

Co a x ia l Co n tro l Ca p a b ility  
The CCU-TX7P is equipped with a  
coaxial input. This enables each camera  
to operate over conventional coaxial  
cable instead of a triax cable, with power  
supplied locally to the camera.  
The CCU-TX7P is equipped with a  
programme audio channel and a  
equipped with a two-channel microphone  
system. Two XLR connectors on the  
CA-TX7P provide balanced audio CH-1  
and CH-2 inputs with microphone  
bi-directional intercom channel.  
Programme audio sound from an  
external audio system can be fed to the  
camera head. This can be mixed with  
intercom sound; major intercom systems  
(Four-wire/Two-wire/RTS/Clearcom) can  
be interfaced via connectors on the rear  
panel of the CCU-TX7P. The camera  
control unit accepts two-channel input  
from the external intercom system, and  
communication can be initiated from the  
CCU-TX7P, or the camera adaptor  
(CA-TX7P) or the external intercom  
system (CH-1 or CH-2).  
phantom power available for an external  
microphone. The MIC input gain of each  
channel can be controlled within a range  
of ±12dB in 16 steps by control volumes  
on the internal board of the CCU-TX7P.

nearest Sony office.  
Co m p a ct Size  
The CCU-TX7P is half a 19-inch rack  
size wide and 4 units (4U) high. With the  
Sony RMM-TXC7 Rack Mount Kit, two  
CCU-TX7P units or one unit with a  
waveform monitor can be mounted into a  
standard 19-inch rack.  
RS-2 3 2 C Po rt  
The CCU-TX7P is equipped with an  
RS-232C port to link several CCU-TX7P  
units for a multiple camera control  
system, or to connect an external  
personal computer.

The Sony RCP-TX7 provides full control  
functions as a remote camera control  
panel for the CCU-TX7P. It covers the  
complete range of control functions, from  
basic camera control to more  
In a multi-camera system, the control of  
Iris and Master Black can be linked over  
multiple RCP-TX7 panels. Simply press  
the “IRIS/M.BLACK LINK” button on each  
required RCP-TX7. When controlling Iris  
and Master Black, the values of all the  
linked RCP-TX7 units can be overridden  
by one RCP-TX7. Any one of the units  
can be set up as the master device.  
Colour Matching Capability  
sophisticated operation. It provides  
camera set-up control using convenient  
scene files, as well as basic control and  
paint operation control. For engineering  
and service personnel, the RCP-TX7also  
provides comprehensive camera set-up  
functions. The RCP-TX7 is a quarter the  
width of a 19-inch rack so that four  
RCP-TX7 units can be installed into a  
standard 19-inch rack using the Sony  
RMM-TXR7 Rack Mount Kit.  
The RCP-TX7 has a useful colour  
matching function. When using multiple  
cameras and RCP-TX7 units, once one  
RCP-TX7 has been set up, the master  
data can be copied to the other RCP-  
TX7 units. To do this, the user must first  
set one RCP-TX7 as the master and the  
others as subsidiary units.  
Scene File System  
The RCP-TX7 can store up to 16 scene  
files. All parameters, both for camera  
operation and set-up, can be adjusted  
and stored in each scene file. The stored  
scene file most suitable for each shooting  
situation can be instantly recalled.

Directly connected to the Sony  
DXC-D30P/ D30WSP Video Camera  
through a 10-pin remote connector, the  
RCP-TX7 can be used as a standalone  
remote control unit offering the same  
functionality as the RM-M7G.  
(This is only possible  
The Sony COU-TX7 Camera Operation  
Unit can be attached to form a part of the  
front panel of the CCU-TX7P to provide  
basic control of camera operation and  
painting. This is useful when using the  
CCU-TX7P in limited space, such as in  
field production vehicles.  
Convenient Liquid Crystal Display  
The RCP-TX7 has an LCD (Liquid  
Crystal Display) on the control panel.  
This LCD shows menu status information  
on the current adjustment. Function  
status such as Detail Level, Gamma,  
Knee, White Balance and Black (Flare)  
Balance can also be displayed on the  
LCD by using an INDICATION button.  
The LCD also displays troubleshooting  
hints when an operational difficulty arises
