1. Product Overview

This CCU-100 kit is designed to easily connect several Datavideo products into an effective and professional
studio system. This guide assumes you may already own some or all of the other Datavideo products
mentioned in this document. Where an asterix symbol (*) is shown next to a model number, this product is
not supplied within the CCU-100 kit and an additional purchase may be required. Please speak with your
dealer to discuss your desired set up using the Datavideo equipment you may already have. For more
information on any of the products marked with an asterix (*) please visit our website www.datavideo.com

The CCU-100 kit can be used for passing on power to professional video cameras from the Datavideo PD-6*
power centre and handling signals sent over the camera cables (CB-43 / 44 / 45 / 49*) to a switcher. In this
way, it is used to remotely set up various camera parameters such as iris, shutter, gain, and master pedestal
using an MCU-200 (S/P/J)*.

As well as passing on camera control signals, the CCU-100 system simultaneously handles digital SDI and
analogue signals for camera video output, Program look back video, camera view finder data as well as tally
and intercom signals between the cameras and a video switcher.

The Datavideo AD-2 (S/P/J), Multi Transmission Adaptor Box, is an adaptor box that allows connections
between the CCU-100 Camera Control Unit and a single camera position. The CCU-100 and AD-2 (S/P/J)
form part of an integrated cabling solution that allows you to get things done fast, easy and within a
budget.

1.1 Features

• Control up to 4 cameras from one CCU-100 Camera Control Unit using the supplied AD-2 (S/P/J)

units.

• Remote control of camera functions including Iris, shutter, gain, master pedestal etc

• HD/SD SDI video transmission from digital camera

• Transmission of view finder / monitor video signals

• Return look back video signal for camera operator

• Two-way intercom with camera operators using an ITC-100*

• Datavideo switcher tally support

• DC Power supply from 4-PIN XLR sources such as PD-6 Power Center*

• RJ-45 Port providing connection to MCU 100 (S/P/J) / 200 (S/P/J)* for Remote Control

- 5 -

2. Example CCU-100 Studio S ystem based on Datavideo Products

Communication between AD-2 (S/P/J) and CCU-100 is bidirectional. The signals in each direction are listed
below:

CCU-100 – to – AD-2 (S/P/J)

• MCU-100 (S/P/J) / MCU-200 (S/P/J)* Control Signals

• Look Back Signal

• Power for camera and look back monitor

• Intercom System Signal

• Tally Light signal from switcher

AD-2 (S/P/J) – to – CCU-100

• Camera SDI Signal

• ITC-100* Intercom System Signal

• Camera View Finder Signal (composite video)

The View Finder Signals and the parameters are sent to the AD-2 (S/P/J), which in turn transmits to the
TLM-430 for viewing. To display various camera parameters on the TLM-430*, simply press the Shot
Mark button on the MCU-200 (S/P/J)*.

These 5-PIN XLR connectors are connected to the ITC-100* Intercom
System for receiving communication signals from the camera
operators.

DC IN Socket

The DC IN socket receives power from the PD-2 Power Center. The
power connection can be secured by screwing the outer fastening
ring of the DC IN plug to the socket.

4. AD-2 (S/P/J) Connec t ions & Controls

AD-2 (S/P/J) is a Multi-Transmission Adaptor Box which is attached to the rear of the camera by a standard
V-Mount plate as shown in the diagram below. It can also be used like a V-Mount Battery to power the
camera. If the standard V-Mount plate is not found on the rear of the camera, the user can purchase a SLED
(SLD-1) off the shelf from Datavideo.

sound.

1. The recommended boot order is to turn on PD-6
first and then the rest of the devices.

2. Please make sure the 4-PIN XLR power cable is
the CCU proprietary cable, which is different from
the general XLR power cable.

3. It is recommended not to rewire the device
while the power is connected; any change of the
wiring should be done only after the power is
disconnected.

Please purchase AD-2 device of Version GB717-SL­B or later.
