Overview
The HXCU-FB70 HD Camera Control Unit (CCU) connects to
the CA-FB70 HD Camera Adaptor that is attached to the HXCD70 HD Color Camera or PMW-500/350/320 Solid-State
Memory Camcorder. It performs signal processing, provides
an interface for external equipment, and supplies power to the
camera.
The CCU can be combined with an RCP-1000-series Remote
Control Panel (optional) to form a camera control system.

Long distance transmission via optical fiber
cable
• To connect the CA-FB70 HD Camera Adaptor to the CCU,
either a single-mode optical fiber cable or optical composite
cable can be used.
• When you use an optical composite cable to supply power
to the CA-FB70 HD Camera Adaptor and camera
/camcorder from the CCU, the connection distance can be
extended up to 250 m (820 ft)
mode optical fiber cable and mains to supply power to the
CA-FB70 HD Camera Adaptor and camera/camcorder, the
connection distance can be extended up to 10 km (32,800
ft)1).
• While the CCU is connected to the HXCE-FB70 Power
Supply Unit by a single-mode optical fiber cable (up to 10 km
(32,800 ft)), you can connect the CA-FB70 HD Camera
Adaptor and HXCE-FB70 Power Supply Unit with an optical
composite cable to supply power (up to 250 m (820 ft)) . The
adaptor offers flexibility to configure the camera system to
suit your usage environment.
1) The available power supply distance varies depending on the total
consumption of the connected peripherals such as
camera/camcorder, lens or accessory. For information on the
available distance, see “About Transmission Distance” on page 33.
