The CA-905K/905F/905L Large Lens Adaptor enables
the attachment of a studio lens to a portable color
video camera (referred herein as “camera”). The CA905K/905F is designed for use on a camera that is
connected to a CA-570/570P Camera Adaptor for
Triax transmission. The CA-905L is designed for use
on a camera that is connected to a CA-950/950P
Camera Adaptor for optical-fiber transmission or on
the HDC-950 HD Portable Camera. The CA-905K/
905F/905L accepts the attachment of an optional 5type viewfinder, or an optional 7-type viewfinder
when the optional BKP-9057 Viewfinder Saddle is
used.
Features
Compatible with Sony specification Large
-lens
The unit allows you to attach Sony hanger-type largelenses. It is compatible with both full servo-control
and manual control lenses. You can also use a
portable lens (with extender only).
Seven-type viewfinder (available when the
BKP-9057 is installed)
By installing the optional BKP-9057 viewfinder saddle
to the unit, you can use a 7-type B/W viewfinder and a
7-type color viewfinder.
Note
When the CCU-550A/550AP is connected, the BVF7700/7700P cannot be used.
Studio-use-camera-type control panel
The rear control panel provides almost all the
functions of the color video camera for studio use. It
thus allows you to operate the unit (when used to
connect a large lens to the camera) as you would a
studio camera.
By installing the BKP-9057, the Picture-In-Picture
function can also be used. Note, however, that the
Picture-In-Picture function cannot be used with certain
cameras.
Easy to assemble and disassemble
Once you have done the initial lens and camera
alignment, you need not repeat the alignment each
time you attach the lens and camera. The BKP-9057
employs a saddle rotation function which makes it
easy to attach and detach the camera.
Lightweight and space-saving system
The CCU-550A/550AP (portable CCU) enables the
use of a large lens (only when the CA-950K/905F is
used). Further savings in weight and space is possible
by using a 5-type viewfinder.

3) The CCU-550A/550AP is compatible with the CA-905K/
F, not the CCU-550/550P. The CCU-550/550P therefore
cannot be used with the CA-905K/F.
To connect the CCU-550/550P, you must first attach the
BKP-5976 CCU upgrade unit to the CCU-550/550P.
4) When the BKP-5974 has been equipped with the CCU550A/550AP DC power unit, the CA-905K/F cannot be
used. For this reason, when the CA-905K/F is connected,
do not use the CCU-550A/550AP with the BKP-5974.
5) When the CCU-550A/550AP is connected to the unit, the
BVF-7700/7700P cannot be used.
When you connect the BVF-7700/7700P to the unit, use
the CCU-700A/700AP.
6) When the CA-570/570P is connected to the CCU-550A/
550AP, only one channel can be used for intercom
transmission. Use the INCOM1 connector on the CA570/570P.
CAUTION
Do not use a defective triaxial cable.
The inner sheath of a triaxial cable is used for power
supply and the outer sheath for safety ground.
For your safety, do not use a triaxial cable whole inner
and outer sheaths are short-circuited. Use of such a
cable will cause electric shock.
Check of ROM Version
When connecting the camera, be sure to check the
version of ROM on each AT board corresponding to
the camera to be connected.
If ROM version differ from the below table, be sure to
perform ROM replacement.
If ROM replacement is required, contact your local
Sony Sales Office/Service Center.

7) The CA-550/550P is not compatible with the CA-905K/F.
To use the CA-905K/F, you must first connect the CA570/570P.
8) If you selected a CCD unit which does not have an
electric servo filter unit, use an optional electric servo
filter with your CCD or a CCD with a built-in servo filter.
9) When you use the intercom microphone switch located on
the zoom demand of the studio zoom lens, be sure to set
the intercom microphone switch of the CA-950/950P/570/
570P or HDC-950 to OFF (center position).

•Do not use lens ID:F. If the lens ID number is set to
F, change it to another ID number. For details on
verifying or changing the ID number of the lens, refer
to the instruction manual of the lens.

the CA-905K/905F, turn the saddle lock knob
counterclockwise to loosen it, then tilt the saddle
backward.
