Sony HDCU-4300 (HDCU4300, HDCU/4300, hdcu-4300) Compact Camera Control Unit

Designed specifically for the HDC-4300 camera head owing to its 10Gbps fibre connection, the rackmount fitting HDCU is a CCU and BPU in a single unit. Supports IP network media interface using an optional HKCU-IP43F (not supplied).

The HDCU-4300 is a space-saving, compact 2U full-rack sized camera control unit (CCU) and 4K / HD for IP baseband processor unit (BPU) with built-in IP and SDI interfaces designed to give flexibility to Outside Broadcast (OB) operations. The unit enables either 4K or HD IP operations through a single Networked Media Interface (NMI)*, alongside SDI outputs. The unit is also HDR (High Dynamic Range) ready** and can handle High Frame Rate (HFR) HD up to 8x slow motion***. The HDCU-4300 combined with the HDC-4300 camera offers OB operators a uniquely flexible, space-saving BPU/CCU for advanced 4K/HD IP operation.
