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.

INTENDED USE
Before installing the Canon BU Series Camera System, please read the manuals thoroughly. The BU-47H is designed for outdoor use and the BU-51H camera system is designed for use indoors. Outdoor operation of the BU-51H is not recommended, has not been tested, and could damage the camera and/or create a potentially unsafe operating condition. Use only the Vaddio PowerRite power supply provided with the BU-47H.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The information contained in this manual will help you install the Canon BU Series cameras. For reference, Vaddio keeps copies of Specifications, Installation and User Guides and most pertinent product drawings for the Vaddio product line on the website. These documents can be downloaded from vaddio.com
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Read and understand all instructions before using. Do not operate any electrical device if it has been dropped or damaged. In this case, a Vaddio technician must examine the product before operating. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse in water or other liquids and avoid extremely humid conditions.
Use only the power supply provided with the system. Use of any unauthorized power supply will void any and all warranties.
Please do not use “pass-thru” type RJ-45 connectors. These pass-thru type connectors do not work well for professional installations and can be the cause of intermittent connections which can result in the RS-232 control line failing and locking up, and/or compromising the SHSDS™ differential video. For best results please use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all cables for proper pin-out prior to termination.
INFORMATION
For RS-422 (BU-47H) and RS-232 (BU-51H) control information, please see the full-length Technical Manual for the specific camera. These manuals can be found either on the Vaddio or Canon websites. Vaddio has also
