4 Overview The CCU-590/590P Camera Control Unit provides a variety of remote control and adjustment functions for the processing of signals from a BVP-E10/E10P/E10WS/ E10WSP/E30/E30P/E30WS/E30WSP CCD Color Video Camera, and can be used in Electronic Field Production (EFP) or studio work. Note Production of some of the peripherals and related devices described in this manual has been discontinued. For advice about choosing devices, please contact your Sony dealer or a Sony sales representative. The CCU-590/590P has the following features: Wide variety of system configurations The optional CA-905K/F/T large-lens adaptor allows a large lens to be fitted onto the portable video camera and used in conjunction with the BVF-77/77CE 7-inch B/W Viewfinder. 3 output lines (composite video or SDI can be selected as the output signal) are provided. When equipped with the optional RM-B750 Remote Control Unit, the RM-B750 can be used to control the video camera directly, without the use of a RCP-750/ 751/920/921 Remote Control Panel. Note When the CCU-590/590P is connected to the CNU-700 Camera Network Unit and the RM-B750 is attached to the front panel of the CCU-590/590P, control on the camera system from the RM-B750 cannot be carried out. The CCU-590/590P supports communications between the video camera and the CCU-590/590P over either a triax cable or coaxial cable. (Power, however, is not supplied to the video camera in the case of coaxial cable.) 10-MHz, wideband triax transmission Wideband triax transmission with Y signal at 10 MHz, R-Y and B-Y signals at 6 MHz is used for inputting video signals from the video camera. The triax cable length can be extended from 50 to 700 m (with Fujikura φ8.5 mm cables), 75 to 1,050 m (with BELDEN 9232 φ13.2 mm cables), or 100 to 1,400 m (with Fujikura φ14.5 mm cables). The CCU-590/590P supports teleprompter signal transmission. Teleprompter signals can be transferred over distances of 50 to 500 m (with Fujikura φ8.5 mm cables), 75 to 750 m (with BELDEN 9232 φ13.2 mm cables), or 100 to 1,000 m (with Fujikura φ14.5 mm cables). Rack mountable Two CCU-590/590Ps can be mounted side by side in a standard 19-inch EIA rack when using an optional RMM- 301 Rack Mount Adaptor. 4 Overview

5 Function and Location of Parts and Controls Front panel acamera number sheet/tally indicator b POWER switch/cam and MAIN indicators c CABLE ALARM indicators CAM MAIN " OPEN SHORT 1 MIC ON PROD OFF PRIV PGM PGM d INCOM audio input/output/setting section a Camera number sheet/tally indicator Lights red when the red tally signal is input (e.g. when the video signal from the video camera connected to the CCU- 590/590P goes on air). When the CALL button on the video camera, MSU-900/950, RCP-750/751/920/921 series remote control panel, or an optional RM-B750 is pressed, the indicator lights if it is not lit, and goes off if it is lit. The indicator lights green when the green tally signal is input (e.g. when the video signal from the camera connected to the CCU-590/590P goes off air). Attach the supplied number sheet here to indicate the camera number. b POWER switch/cam (camera) and MAIN indicators The POWER switch turns on or off the power supply to the entire camera system, including the CCU-590/590P, the video camera, and the remote control unit connected to the REMOTE connector on the CCU-590/590P. The MAIN and CAM indicators light when the POWER switch is turned on. The CAM indicator goes off when the power is turned off by the CAM PW button on the remote control panel or the master setup unit, or CAM POWER switch on the internal AT board. Note If the fan in the CCU-590/590P stops, the MAIN indicator will flash to warn you of the abnormal condition. If this occurs, turn the POWER switch off immediately and contact Sony service personnel. c CABLE ALARM indicators OPEN: Lights when no triax cable is connected to the CAMERA connector on the rear panel of the CCU- 590/590P, or when the load current is extremely low even when a camera cable is connected. SHORT: Lights when there is a current overflow in the triax cable. d INCOM audio input/output/setting section INCOM (intercom) connector (XLR, 5-pin) Connects a headset. INCOM level control Adjusts the input level of the intercom. Function and Location of Parts and Controls 5

6 MIC/PGM (program audio) switch ON: Turns on the headset microphone. OFF: Turns off the headset microphone. PGM: Outputs the program audio when the one ear headset is used. When this position is selected, the INCOM level control adjusts input level of the program audio. The level of the PGM1 and PGM2 can be adjusted by using the VR located on the panel side of the internal AU board. INCOM (intercom) selector Selects the pathway of intercom signals output/input through the INCOM/TALLY/PGM connector. PROD: Producer line. PRIV: Producer line and engineer line are cut off and communication is possible only between the CCU- 590/590P and the camera connected to the rear panel of the CCU-590/590P. ENG: Engineer line. The settings regarding the output intercom signals can be performed on the internal AU board. For details, consult your Sony service personnel.
