The HDCU-2500 is equipped with a range of built-in interfaces of 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. The system has seven SDI outputs, including three 3G-SDI outputs, as standard. It also has three 3G-SDI/HD-SDI/SD-SDI, or analogue composite return video inputs.

Three types of interface expansion option are available for the HDCU-2500: the HKCU-1001, HKCU-2007 and HKCU-1003. The HKCU-1001 SD Analogue Interface Unit provides two analogue NTSC or PAL VBS signal outputs, a PIX (picture monitor) output, and a WFM (waveform monitor) output. The HKCU-2007 3G-SDI/HD-SDI Output Expansion Unit provides four 3G-SDI or HD-SDI outputs. The HKCU-1003 Multi Interface Unit consists of three types of interface board and provides:

– Two analogue NTSC or PAL VBS signal outputs, a PIX output, and a WFM output (Board A)

– A frame reference input, output to lock 2-3 pull-down sequence, a PIX output, and a WFM output (Board B)

– Analogue NTSC or PAL VBS and analogue component R/G/B or Y/R-Y/B-Y outputs (Board C)

The HDCU-2500 has a built-in LAN interface (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX) to allow the camera to be controlled over a network.

The CCU also features one-channel teleprompter input plus two-channel microphone outputs (two XLR connectors).

The CCU has multi-format support for 1080/100i, 1080/119.88i, 1080/50P, 1080/59.94P, 1080/50i, 1080/59.94i, 1080/23.98PsF, 1080/24PsF, 1080/25PsF, 1080/29.97PsF, 720/50P, 720/59.94P and 1080-4:4:4-RGB (@50i, 59.94i,23.98PsF, 24PsF, 25PsF, 29.97PsF).

The system offers RGB 12-bit output for creative shootings, 3D transmission on one cable, plus double speed acquisition.

The CCU features a two-channel data trunk line (RS-422A/RS-232C) to facilitate easy data transmission.

High power supply allows HDC-2000 Series cameras to operate with the HDLA-1500/HDLA-1505/HDLA-1507 HD large lens adaptors.

The optical fibre transmission system used in the HDCU-2500 maintains the camera’s high picture quality across cable runs of up to 2,000 meters (6,562 feet).
* 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.
