Description
 
The Sony XDCU-55 is another key component of Sony's Camera Extension System, consisting of camera adaptors, which connect to the camcorder, and a camera extension unit, which controls key camera parameters via one of Sony’s remote controllers. The XDCA-55 docks to the PMW-350 and PMW-320 camcorders (sold separately) via an optional CBK-CE01 50-pin connector, and to the PMW-500 via the optional CBK-HD02 50-pin connector. Thanks to this mechanism, no other connection cables are required. The XDCA-55 connects to the XDCU-50 Camera Extension Unit via two BNC cables (not supplied), one for the camera signal, the other for the return signal. Additionally, a CCZ-A cable (sold separately – up to 100m) is required from the XDCU-50 to supply power to the XDCA-55. The camera signal and return signal can be transferred up to 100 meters (328 feet) without degradation. The system offers an affordable solution for situations that require maximum versatility of each camcorder in either stand-alone or multi-camera operation.
Features
  • High-quality camera pictures are transmitted without degradation via digital signals.
  • The maximum cable length is 100 m (328 feet) between the camera adaptor and the XDCU-50.
  • Cabling is simplified as the signals for camera control, intercom, tally, and timecode are embedded in the digital signal; only a pair of BNC cables and a single CCZ-A Cable for the power supply are required between the camera adaptor and the XDCU-50.
  • The system is suitable for both HD and SD operation. Since the XDCU-50 has a down-converter function, when the camcorder is in HD mode, SD signals in Squeeze, Letterbox, or Edge Crop mode are available at the XDCU-50 along with HD-SDI from the XDCA-55.
