Vaddio™ Quick-Connect™ CCU for the Sony®
BRC-Z700 PTZ Camera
OVERVIEW
The Vaddio Quick-Connect CCU Z700 (Figure 1) is built for
use with the Sony BRC-Z700 high definition PTZ Camera.
The Quick-Connect CCU Z700 allows the user to control the
color output of the camera’s image sensor, through both Red
and Blue Gain knobs, Detail, as well as Iris and Gain levels, to
provide a higher quality image. In addition, there are also
Red, Green and Blue Enhance adjustments for added fine-
tuning of the cameras image. The system uses high speed
differential signaling (HSDS), an active transmission system
that delivers low-loss, high-quality video over CAT-5 cabling
distances up to 500 feet.
The Quick-Connect CCU Z700 system is capable of high definition (HD) 1080i resolution component video
and has a simultaneous SD composite video output in a variety of screen configurations. The BRC-Z700 is
capable of either NTSC or PAL formats.
The Quick-Connect CCU system also has many new features, including Tally illumination on the camera
which allows the presenter to know which camera is live, as well as Genlock delivered to the camera over
CAT-5. Other new features include the ability to store settings on two discrete Scene buttons, and buttons
for Auto White Balance, One Push White Balance and Auto Iris. Like all Vaddio Quick-Connect systems, the
Thin Profile Wall Mount and mounting hardware is included.
