The Sony HDCU-3500 Camera Control Unit is designed for operation with the Sony HDC-3500 and HDC-3500 4K/HD system cameras. It provides interfaces to external equipment and power supply to the camera in a compact, portable half rack width 3U form factor, which is ideal for OB production environments.
A 12G-SDI and 4K output is available via an optional software license HZCU-UHD35. The CCU also provides a pathway for IP operation with HDC Series optical fiber studio cameras.
IP Tally support (TSL UMD v5.0) is featured as standard, while CCU menu settings can be conveniently adjusted remotely via a network
High-Quality Long-Distance Signal Transmission
Combined with the optional HKCU-SM50 interface kit, the compact HDCU-3500 can be directly connected to the HDC-3500 or HDC-3100 using 3G Single Mode Fiber (SMF) for long-distance transmission up to 6.21 mi, making it ideal for space-limited operations such as OB trucks.
Wide Range of HDC Camera Support
HDCU-3500 support not only HDC-3500 and HDC-3100 cameras but also existing HDC-2500 series natively. Moreover, with hardware options, HDCU-3500 is capable of connecting to HDC-5500, the flagship 4K camera.
Access MENU Settings From Web Browser
The CCU supports menu control from a web browser. The status monitoring of multiple CCUs, setting file import/export and remote firmware updates enhance the efficiency and convenience of the operation.
Recording and Real-Time Network Transfer
With the recording option HKCU-REC55, the HDCU-3500 can record the live feed inside CCU. The file can be transferred to USB SSD or network storage in real-time during recording. Therefore, when the shooting operation is finished, the file is already transferred to a portable SSD or NAS.
