Outline and features
The CU-HD1500 is a camera control unit (CCU) designed for the newly developed three times high
speed camera SK-HD1500. The CU-HD1500 has significantly reduced power consumption and
sophisticated function. The CU-HD1500 simultaneously provides both three times speed outputs
(1080i/720p）and normal speed outputs (1080i/720p/SD) to offer a flexible system operation.

Features
■ Three times smoothly slow-motion playback combined with video server.
The CU-HD1500 provides 2 sets of 3 HD-SDI signals (LINK-A, LINK-B, and LINK-C) fed from
three times high speed camera head. These signals are compatible with the EVS and BLT HD
slow motion video servers.

■ High-performance down converter
High-speed line conversion technology yields high resolution in the SD picture.
Due to the use of an independent and separate processor located in the CCU, detail can be
adjusted for the SD video outputs without affecting the HD video signal outputs.

■ Built-in up converter
The HDTV up-converter for displaying the SDTV return signals in the HD Viewfinder is provided
as standard with the CU-HD1500. The up converter is of a line-correction type capable of
displaying 1,080 effective scanning lines. In addition, AUX and Return color signals can be
displayed in the TFT-LCD color viewfinders offered.

■ High-quality transmission using a digital optical transmission system
An HFOC (Hybrid Fiber Optic Cable) is used to connect the camera head and CCU.
The signals are transmitted using an optical serial digital transmission method.
(HD-SDI standard) to ensure high-quality transmission.
The effective HFOC length can be up to 4 km. (without utility power)
