Anatomy of the CCU Controlled Camera System

Tally Light:
The blue LED tally light on the front panel is tied to the tally contacts on the rear panel allowing the
user to easily track which camera interface is being used in a multi-camera system by supplying a simple contact
closure (i.e. from ProductionVIEW Super Joystick or ProductionVIEW HD).
LCD Display:
Backlit (blue) display indicates which mode is active (CCU CONTROL or PTZ CONTROL). In
CCU CONTROL mode, when a rotary encoder is touched, the name of the control being actuated and the value
of that assigned parameter will be displayed.

CCU Control Switch:
Backlit (blue) SPDT switch, lit when activated, blocks the incoming PTZ controls on the
RS-232 input and allows the end user to make adjustments to the camera image characteristics. When off or
deactivated, PTZ information is passed to the camera and the front panel controls are deactivated to avoid
latency.
Scene A and B:
Two camera adjustment scenes (A & B) can be stored into microprocessor memory. When lit
(backlit blue SPDT switch), the scene is activated. To store a scene, the user adjusts the camera and then
touches and holds the scene button down until the button blinks.
Detail:
The Detail control sharpens or softens objects in the frame.
Red and Blue Gain Control:
The Red and Blue Gain encoders adjust the red gain or blue gain of the signal
when AWB is disengaged.
AWB:
The Automatic White Balance controls/adjusts the color levels automatically when engaged. Turn off
AWB to manually adjust the Red and Blue levels, as well as Red, Green and Blue Enhance.
OPWB:
One-Push White Balance control allows the user to set the white balance with one push (the camera
must see 60% of the image as white in order to operate). OPWB overrides AWB and Red/Blue controls when
activated.
Color Phase:
Adjusts the tint of the entire image.
Color Level:
Adjusts the color intensity of the image.
Color Offset:
Shifts the white balance focusing point when white balance is set to Auto or One Push. The white
balance focusing point switches to blue in the - direction and to red tint in the + direction.
Auto Iris:
The Auto Iris mode automatically adjusts the iris and gain of the camera. To manually adjust the iris
or gain, turn off this control.
Manual Iris:
The manual iris control allows the user to set the iris manually.
Gain:
The Gain control adjusts the overall gain of the camera. To manually adjust the gain Auto Iris must be off.
