Camera Control Unit - Scope of CCU Functions

Scope of CCU Functions

A CCU is often used in conjunction with a RCP (Remote Control Panel), a waveform monitor and a vectorscope to rack and match many cameras together remotely.

Common adjustable parameters include:

  • Iris (see aperture)
  • Color temperature filters
  • Neutral density filter
  • Master Black (pedestal)
  • Black level trim (for red, green and blue components)
  • Gain trim (for red, green and blue components)
  • Master gain

In addition to these, there are usually options internally generating a test card for testing, return feeds or talkback. For more complex production, preset scene files can be recalled to quickly change the settings of the camera on the fly.

Famous quotes containing the words scope of, scope and/or functions:

    The scope of modern government in what it can and ought to accomplish for its people has been widened far beyond the principles laid down by the old “laissez faire” school of political rights, and the widening has met popular approval.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    For it is not the bare words but the scope of the writer that gives the true light, by which any writing is to be interpreted; and they that insist upon single texts, without considering the main design, can derive no thing from them clearly.
    Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    In today’s world parents find themselves at the mercy of a society which imposes pressures and priorities that allow neither time nor place for meaningful activities and relations between children and adults, which downgrade the role of parents and the functions of parenthood, and which prevent the parent from doing things he wants to do as a guide, friend, and companion to his children.
    Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
