SYSTEM VERSATILITY

The high picture quality and operability of DXC-D55/D55WS cameras is supported by 
a range of peripherals that make camera system installation very smooth, both in the studio
and out in the field.
The DXC-D55/D55WS can be configured in two main operating styles: Multi-core CCU and
Triax CCU operation.  Easy-to-use remote control panels are also available for added
operational convenience.

• Analog composite output and one of the

following outputs: SDI, Y/R-Y/B-Y, RGB, Y/C

• Wide variety of control functions
• Compatibility with RCP-D50 and RCP-D51

Remote Control Panels

• Support for major intercom systems 

(two-wire/four-wire/RTS/Clearcom)

• Teleprompter support
• Red/Green tally indication*

Multi-core CCU Operation – for End-to-end Digital Systems

CCU-D50/D50P and CA-D50

With the CA-D50 Camera Adaptor attached, the DXC-D55/D55WS can be remotely controlled from
the CCU-D50/D50P Multi-core Camera Control Unit using a CCZ-A cable (26-pin).  The video and
audio output of the CA-D50 Camera Adaptor are transferred to the CCU-D50/D50P Camera Control
Unit as an SDI signal*

through a CCZ-A cable up to 75 m (246 feet) long.  This combination allows

for the establishment of a full digital-acquisition system.

The CCU-D50/D50P system supports the following features:

• Digital or analog signal switchable

transmission 

• Up to 75 m (246 feet) SDI transmission via a

CCZ-A cable (26-pin)

• Up to 200 m (656 feet) SDI transmission

using a separate low-loss coaxial video cable
in addition to a CCZ cable

• Analog transmission for longer control

distances of up to 300 m (984 feet) via a
CCZ-A cable
