Sony HXCU-FB80 4K/HD Camera Control Unit

The Sony HXCU-FB80 4K/HD Camera Control Unit (CCU) up-scales HD content to 4K (3840×2160) and provides a 12G-SDI output in addition to a Quad-Link 3G-SDI. HD-HDR support for Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) will be available in summer 2018 through a free firmware upgrade.

3G-SDI Platform Capable of 1080/50p and 59.94p
The camera head and CCU can comfortably output 3G-SDI signals including 1080/50p and 59.94p. The new processor can also support 1080/23.98 PsF on top of 25 PsF and 29.97 PsF.

Long Cable Extension and Choice of Fiber Interface
Using a hybrid cable with a power supply, the distance between the camera head and CCU can be extended up to 600 m. In case of the combination with HXC-P70, it can extend up to 1,000 m. In addition to the Neutrik connector interface, a LEMO connector interface is also available for the camera head and CCU.

Long-distance transmission up to 10km with single-mode fiber cable In the case of connection with a single-mode fiber cable (SMF), transmission can extend up to 10km using a local power supply.

4K Upscalable and HD HDR Support with CCU
Combined with the HXCU-FB80 CCU, the HXC-FB80 camera’s output is 4K upscalable and yet HD HDR-capable supporting HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma).* For 4K signal output, the HXCU-FB80 is equipped with a 12G-SDI interface with quad 3G-SDI.

Multi-Camera System capabilities
The HXCU-FB80 CCU provides support for up to 24 units, forming a complete MCS system.

HD Video Trunk and HD Prompter
In addition to the camera captured 1080 50i/59.94i video signal, another video signal can be passed through the same fiber connection line to the CCU side because of the 3G-SDI platform. Further to the traditional analog composite prompter support, the HD-SDI signal can be supplied from the CCU side.
