OVERVIEW
The Canon BU Series PTZ cameras (see Figure 1) are
broadcast quality PTZ cameras, built around Canon camcorder
technology. The BU-51H uses three 1/3”, 1.67 Megapixel
CCDs and a 20x optical zoom lens, while the BU-47H utilizes
three 1/3”, 2.37 Megapixel CCD’s and an 18x optical zoom
lens. The BU series cameras are ideal for virtually any indoor
or outdoor application. The BU Series cameras are easily
integrated with the Vaddio ProductionVIEW HD-SDI and
Precision Camera Controller, with the included Vaddio cables
and adapters. In addition, the native RS-422 found on the BU47H is converted to RS-232 for operation with both
ProductionVIEW HD-SDI and Precision Camera Controller.
Optional accessories include both a wall mount and a pedestal
mount for the indoor BU-51H.
