Sony HDCU-2500 Half-rack-size Camera Control Unit for HDC Series camera

Camera control for HDC-2000 Series and HDC-1500 Series cameras

HDCU-2500 is a half 19”-rack-size camera control base station for the 3G Double-Speed Multi Format HD system camera HDC-2000 Series and the HDC-1500 Series, enabling more creative capabilities for studio, outside broadcast and sports productions.

Wide range of interfaces and network control

The HDCU-2500 is equipped with a range of built-in interfaces such as 3G-SDI/HD-SDI/SD-SDI outputs, 3G-SDI/HD-SDI/SD-SDI/analogue composite return inputs, and a down-converted analogue composite monitor output. In addition, a variety of output interfaces are offered via optional boards, which can be installed in one free slot on the HDCU-2500. Furthermore, a built-in LAN interface (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX) allows the camera to be controlled over a network. Menu buttons and indicators that show the status of optical transmission on the front panel provide great operability.

Optic fibre extension includes power to the camera head

The optical fibre transmission system used with the HDCU-2500 maintains the camera’s high picture quality across cable runs of up to 2,000 metres.*

* When supplying power to the camera via optical fibre cable, maximum cable length varies with the camera system configuration, lens type, viewfinder type, the size of the optical fibre cable, and the number of cable connectors.
