Overview
The CA4000 Camera System Adaptor, in combination with a
BPU4000 Baseband Processor Unit, is a camera system
adaptor for constructing a 4K system comprising a
PMW-F55
2500 Camera Control Unit for the system camera interface.
A PMW-F55 or F65 with attached CA4000 can be connected
to a BPU4000, which performs 4K video signal processing and
down conversion to HD format, via an optical camera cable to
form a 4K camera system.
Conventional camera system operation, such as supplying
power to the camera adaptor and intercom functions, is
supported with the connection of a HDCU2000/2500 Camera
Control Unit (hereinafter referred to as the “CCU”).
It supports 4K high-frame rates, when using the F65, of 50P
(2×) and 59.94P (2×).
It also supports the PMW-F55 HD high-frame rate (HD-HFR)
imaging format to configure a system with four times or
six times
the same connection as a 4K system.
The CA4000 can also supply power to large studio lenses,
accessories, and the main supply of the F65 with the
connection of an optional SKC-PB40 Camera Power Boost
Kit.
Use the optional LA-FZB2 Mount Adaptor when using a 2/3type lens.
1) Requires PMW-F55 software version 2.10 or later.
2) An SKC-4065 F65 Adaptor (option) is required in order to mount an
F65. It also requires F65 software version 4.00 or later.
3) Supported by PMW-F55 software version 4.00 or later.
1)
or F652) as the imaging unit and an HDCU2000/
3)
the speed (optional) of a HD video system using
Knee saturation
This compensates the change of hue and decrease in chroma
that occur in highlighted areas.
This enables reproduction of natural skin tones under strong
lighting.
Low key saturation
This compensates for saturation in low-key zones. It
compensates for color reproduction in all zones, in
combination with the matrix color compensation and knee
saturation functions.
Selectable gamma table
Equipped with seven types of standard gamma tables and four
types of hyper gamma tables. Hyper gamma enables cinemalike image reproduction with wide dynamic range that cannot
be achieved with conventional video gamma.
User gamma
Gamma tables created using CvpFileEditorTM can be saved to
a “Memory Stick,” and registered in the CA4000 from an
MSU-1000/1500 or RCP-1500 series device.
Versatile detail control functions
Skin-tone detail function/Natural skin detail
function
This function controls (emphasizes or suppresses) the detail
level for specific hue or chroma areas in an image, by creating
a detail gate signal from color components of any specified
hue. The detail levels of three hues can be adjusted
independently at the same time.
The CA4000 features a natural skin detail function that adjusts
the detail gate signal in order to distinguish clearly between
parts of skin you want to smooth from the parts you do not
want to smooth, such as eyebrows.
Features
Various color-reproduction adjustment
functions
Adaptive-matrix function
This function controls the matrix calculation coefficients for
more accurate color conversion when shooting. It provides
accurate color conversion, even when shooting under
conditions that would otherwise exceed the color conversion
range of traditional matrix functions, such as under strong
monochromatic blue light sources.
Multimatrix color correction
In addition to the standard 6-axis matrix function, the unit has
a multimatrix function that permits you to adjust the hue and
chroma independently for color components in 16-axis
directions. This is helpful when color matching multiple video
cameras.
Detail boost-frequency control
The boost frequency can be adjusted, allowing the thickness
of the detail signal to be set according to the subject to achieve
high-definition image expression.
H/V ratio control
Adjusts the ratio between the applied horizontal and vertical
detail.
White/black limiter
The white and black details can be limited independently.
Focus assist functions
Supports focusing using VF detail and focus assist functions.
VF detail
Supports focusing on various scenes using a function that
adds color to the VF detail signal displayed in the viewfinder,
a function that applies modulation to flicker the VF detail
signal, and a function that changes the level of the VF detail
signal according to the zoom position.
Focus assist indicator
Displays a focusing level indicator in the viewfinder as a guide
to the focus position. This allows the focus point to be
determined easily by observing the fluctuation of the indicator.
Overview

Page 4
Dynamic focus
Displays a 4K resolution-specific focus point. This displays a
marker in the viewfinder, derived from the luminance signal
and color signal, for the area where 4K resolution signal is
being output (valid when shooting in 4K only).
Various viewfinder functions
Wide variety of viewfinder display options
You can display configuration settings, in addition to operation
messages, a zebra pattern, a safety-zone marker, and a
center marker in the viewfinder. Also, there are indicators
along the top and bottom of the viewfinder, such as a tally
lamp, battery warning indicator, and an indicator that warns
you when one or more settings are not within standard range.
Menu-based operation function
You can make selections and settings related to viewfinder
display items, safety zone marker, center marker, and screen
size marker, etc. quickly and easily using the menu displayed
in the viewfinder or on an external monitor.
HD prompter function
The CA4000 supports an HD prompter function where HD-SDI
equivalent digital data is sent from the HDCU2000/2500 to the
CA4000, separate from the return video signal.
Electric shock protection
This function stops the high-voltage power supply from the
camera control unit if the unit is not connected securely.
Optional accessories
Additional functionality can be added by incorporating the
following optional accessories.
For details about installing optional accessories, please
contact your Sony dealer or a Sony sales representative.
SKC-PB40 Camera Power Boost Kit
Attaches to a CA4000 to add a DC power supply output when
operating with connection to a CCU.
SKC-4065 F65 Adaptor
Interfaces between an F65 and the CA4000, allowing the
combination to be operated as an integrated system with the
F65 as the imaging unit.
Power can also be supplied to the F65 from the CCU when
used together with an SKC-PB40.
User-friendly operation
PMW-F55 design unity
The CA4000 employs a design unity with that of the
PMW-F55, following the modular design of the PMW-F55
series.
This ensures stable operation, even during shoulder
operation.
Handle slide mechanism
The handle can slide forward/backward, without requiring any
tools. This allows the operator to find the right balance when
shooting for the lens (2/3-type lens, PL mount lens, or other
diverse lenses) mounted on the camera.
The viewfinder position also slides forward/backward together
with the handle (when a PMW-F55 is mounted).
Assignable buttons
Any desired function, such as electronic color temperature
conversion, can be assigned to the assignable button on the
rear panel.
This button can be set to operate in conjunction with the
assignable switch on viewfinders, such as the HDVF-EL75
and DVF-EL100, to control the image in the viewfinder (image
magnification, for example) from the CA4000.
Also, the two buttons on the top of the handle are assignable
buttons that can be used to control lens zoom and other
functions.
USB connector
Connects to a USB flash drive for importing/exporting menu
configuration settings and other data.

Adjustments and Settings for Shooting
Adjusting the Black Balance and White Balance
In order to maintain high picture quality, it is necessary to set
the black balance and white balance appropriately for the
conditions.
Black balance adjustment
The black balance needs adjustment in the following
circumstances:
• The first time the unit is used
• When the unit is used after a long period of disuse
• When the surrounding temperature changes significantly
• When the gain value is changed using the menu
Normally, there is no need to adjust the black balance every
time the camera is turned on.
White balance adjustment
Always readjust the white balance when lighting conditions
change.

3 Raise the handle position lock lever to lock the handle
in position.
Note
Always raise the handle position lock lever after adjusting
the position of the handle. If the unit is used with handle
position lock lever in the unlocked position, the handle
may slide unexpectedly and may damage other
equipment.
Setting the Electronic Shutter
This section explains the shutter modes that can be used with
the electronic shutter and gives the procedures for setting the
shutter mode and shutter speed.
Note
When a camera control unit or a remote control device is
connected, such as an MSU or RCP, control is performed from
the RCP/MSU and the switches on the video camera are
disabled.
Shutter modes
The shutter modes that can be used with the electronic shutter
of the camera and the shutter speeds that may be selected are
given below.

Note
With artificial lighting, particularly fluorescent lights and
mercury vapor lamps, the brightness may appear to be
constant, but in fact the intensity of the red, green, and blue
components varies in sync with the power supply frequency.
This phenomenon is known as “flicker.” When using the
electronic shutter under these lighting conditions, there are
certain cases in which the flicker is more noticeable. In
particular, color flicker is evident when the power frequency is
60 Hz. In regions where the power frequency is 50 Hz, setting
the shutter speed to 1/100 second can reduce the flicker.
Setting the Focus Assist Functions
The assist functions for easier focusing are displayed in the
viewfinder using the OPERATION menu.
Adding a VF detail signal
Adding a VF detail signal to sharp edges in the image in the
viewfinder makes it easier to judge the focus by observing
changes in the detail signal or the color of the converted detail
signal (color detail).
You adjust the focus to obtain the strongest detail signal.

Error Messages
If a problem occurs during operation, the following messages
may be displayed.
Precautions
The fan and battery are consumable parts that will need
periodic replacement.
When operating at room temperature, a normal replacement
cycle will be about 5 years.
However, this replacement cycle represents only a general
guideline and does not imply that the life expectancy of these
parts is guaranteed. For details on parts replacement, contact
your dealer.
The life expectancy of the electrolytic capacitor is about
5 years under normal operating temperatures and normal
usage (8 hours per day; 25 days per month). If usage exceeds
the above normal usage frequency, the life expectancy may
be reduced correspondingly.
Do not subject to severe shocks
Damage to the case or internal components may result.
When finished using
Set the power switch to OFF.
Operation and storage environment
Store in a level place with air conditioning.
If the unit gets wet, make sure it is completely dry before
storage.
Avoid use or storage in the following places:
• Extremely hot or cold places
• Places with high humidity
• Places with strong vibration
• Near strong magnetic fields
• In places where it receives much direct sunlight, or near
heating equipment
Note
To display a message, set the DISPLAY/MENU switch to

Condensation
If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm location, or
if ambient temperature suddenly rises, moisture may form on
the outer surface of the unit and/or inside of the unit. This is
known as condensation. If condensation occurs, turn off the
unit and wait until the condensation clears before operating
the unit. Operating the unit while condensation is present may
damage the unit.
