Description

The Sony CCU-TX7 is a professional Camera Control Unit (CCU) engineered for studio and field production as part of a triax-based camera system. Designed for use with DXC-637 and DXC-D30 series color video cameras via the CA-TX7 Camera Adaptor, this unit serves as a base station that provides comprehensive remote control over picture parameters and enables wideband component video signal transfer over long distances. The CCU-TX7's half-rack width design (EIA 3U) with optional rack brackets allows two units to be mounted side-by-side in a standard 19-inch rack for space-efficient multi-camera installations. The CCU-TX7 excels in long-distance signal transmission, utilizing triaxial cable to transfer video, audio, intercom, tally, and teleprompter signals up to 750 meters with 8.5mm cable or up to 1,500 meters with 14.5mm diameter cable. The unit provides flexible output options including composite (VBS), component (Y/R-Y/B-Y or RGB), Y/C, and optional SDI output via the DXBK-701 SDI output board. Front panel controls enable direct camera operation, while rear-panel connectivity includes GENLOCK input, multiple return video inputs (RET-1/2), PROMPT VIDEO input, and comprehensive remote control interfaces including RS-232C for computer-based camera control and support for the optional RCP-TX7 Remote Control Panel. The built-in intercom system with 5-pin XLR connectors supports PROD/ENG/PRIV line selection, and the unit features tally indicators and self-diagnostics for simplified troubleshooting in professional production environments.

About the Sony CCU-TX7 Camer Control Unit

The Sony CCU-TX7 is a compact professional camera control unit designed to serve as the core of Sony’s Triax camera control system, primarily supporting cameras like the DXC-D30, DXC-D30WS, and DXC-637. By utilizing lightweight Triax cables, the unit enables long-distance bidirectional communication and power delivery, allowing cameras to be positioned far from the control point. It acts as a centralized interface for technical operators to remotely control vital camera parameters, such as iris, gain, black level, and detail, ensuring a cohesive and color-matched look across multi-camera live productions.

Occupying a convenient half-rack width, this robust unit is engineered for both studio and on-location field production, with the flexibility to run on either AC or DC (12V) power. It accommodates a wide variety of video output formats, including SDI, composite, Y/C, component, and RGB. Furthermore, the CCU-TX7 is well-equipped to handle the communication demands of live broadcast environments by supporting major intercom systems (such as 2-wire, 4-wire, Clear-Com, and RTS) and providing dual return video inputs alongside dedicated teleprompter support.
