Chapter 1 - Introduction
1.2 Technology
1.2.1 Unique Cradle concept
The eXchangeable Control Unit system is like no other in the world. Its unique cradle can be
pre-mounted and pre-wired in a 19-inch rack, making a secure mechanical and electrical
connection, permitting the XCU box to easily slide in and out whenever needed. Each XCU
comes with one cradle, but additional cradles may be acquired to extend usability across
different environments, allowing you to quickly and easily transfer XCUs between OB vans,
studios, or anyplace.
The cradle concept allows for moving boxes easily and quickly between locations such as
trucks and studios. Pre-mounted and pre-wired to eliminate cabling errors, the unique cradle
provides on-demand resources for fast paced productions, resulting in less set up time and
more on-air time. Compatibility with the LDX Series and many LDK Series cameras extends
the cradle's usefulness across all types of productions.
Triax and/or Fiber connectors can easily be exchanged during production and in the field. All
other connectors are mounted on a separate connector panel in the cradle. After disconnecting
mains power and the Triax/Fiber transmission the box can be removed.
