  • CCU to Component???

    Posted by Sdohan on April 1, 2007 at 1:32 pm

    Hi

    I wonder, would it be possible to make a cable going CCU to Component video, without going through a CCU unit. Many Studio cameras only have the choice between CCU or single BNC output… it would be nice if there was a way to get component directly from the camera.

    Greetings Johan

    In the case of a Triax connector, unless the camera head itself offers a component out, then you’ll have to use a CCU. I’ve heard of attempts to modify Multicore output cameras – Sony’s with the CA3 adaptor on back, using a 26 pin ccz cable, but I’ve not tried it. Here’s a breakout list:

    SONY 26 Pin CCZ for CA-3 output to CCU:

    PIN A: +12vdc in
    PIN B: GND
    PIN 01: Video Out
    PIN 02: GND
    PIN 03: GND
    PIN 04: Y OUT
    PIN 05: R-Y OUT
    PIN 06: GND
    PIN 07: B-Y OUT
    PIN 08: GND
    PIN 09: MIC OUT (X)
    PIN 10: MIC OUT (Y)
    PIN11: GND
    PIN12: VTR START OUT
    PIN13: VTR BATT ALARM IN
    PIN14: Not In Use
    PIN15: TALLY/REC IN
    PIN16: Not In Use
    PIN17: SHIELD
    PIN18: RETURN VIDEO IN
    PIN19: GND
    PIN20: POWER SAVE OUT/AUDIO MONITOR IN
    PIN21: Not In Use
    PIN22: COLOR FRAME OUT
    PIN23: Not In Use
    PIN24: Not In Use

    Note: Modifying and using a cable in this manner may dammage your camera. As always, if you are attempting this type of work, use a qulified technician to attempt this or any modification to cameras and their systems.

    Cheers,
