Camera Network System 3 (E)

 Section 1
Service Overview

1-1. Camera Network System Overview

The Sony system camera equipment is controlled by the unique communication protocol using the CCA-5 cable. The
network control system is realized by connecting the equipment via LAN and by expanding this protocol on TCP/IP.

1-2. Camera Network System Features

. An economical network control system can be created by connecting the camera equipment via network, thus eliminating
the needs for CNU.
. Thanks to the IP technology, the physical distance between the equipment imposes no restriction in configuring a system
since communication of the camera control signal is established using the IP technology.
. In the conventional system that uses multiple units of CNU, the RCP assignment and the “ALL” function cannot be used
across multiple units of CNU. However, this new system has overcome this restriction.
. When the RM-B750 is attached to the HDCU1500 or CCU-590 as a front panel, switchover of active panel has not been
possible between the RM-B750 and the other control panels in the conventional CNU system. When the MCS mode of
the new camera network system is used, this function can be freely used.

1-3. Restrictions and Notes on the Camera Network System

. Use the 10BASE-T or the 100BASE-TX for the LAN.

. Performance of the camera network system largely depends on the network line condition. Confirm that the network has
sufficient bandwidth and security before using the system.
. The traffic monitoring is always issued so that delays due to traffic are restricted. If a network has significant delay, or if a
network has heavy congestion, connection of the system can be unstable.
. When a system uses Internet or intranet to connect the equipment, there is a possibility that the system may not reach full
performance due to incompatibility with other traffic or security problem. It is recommended that an independent network
be constructed for stable operation of a system.
. Upon completion of the network setting, reboot the system.
. For the multiple camera operation, be sure to prepare an MSU to be assigned as the Master.
. Do not turn off the power of the Master machine while the system is in operation.
. The maximum number of connections in the MCS mode is 96 units of Camera, CCU, RCP, and client MSU in total. RCP
units that are directly connected to the CCU by the CCA cable and CCU units that are directly connected to the RCP are
not included in the count of the maximum number even though the CCU or the RCP are connected to the camera network
system.
. Systems using LAN and systems using CNU cannot be used together.
. The Master/Subordinate function does not work in the camera network system.
. File transfer in the one-to-one configuration is possible but the file transfer from one unit to multiple units is not possible.
. If multiple units of RCP are assigned to a single CCU, response can be delayed. Do not use this method of operation.
. Performance of the MSU that is assigned to Master can be degraded when number of the connected equipment increases.
. S-BUS is not supported.

1-2 (E) Camera Network System

1-6. Function and Terminology Description

Camera Network System (CNS)

The three modes of connection are prepared to connect the camera equipment. They are Bridge mode, MCS mode and
Legacy mode. The Bridge mode is used when connecting the camera control unit (to be called as CCU) to the control panel
in the one-to-one connection on a network. The MCS mode allows user to configure a system containing multiple units of
CCU and multiple units of control panel. In contrast, the Legacy mode is the connection using the conventional CCA-5
cable only.

Legacy mode
All controls of the camera equipment are performed via the CCA-5 cable only. Connection for the Legacy mode is per-
formed only by the CCA-5 cable that connects CCU to the control panel.

Bridge mode
In the Bridge mode, control panel is connected to the equipment to be controlled, in the one-to-one connection on a net-
work. System configuration of the Bridge mode is the same as that of connecting CCU to the control panel with the CCA-5
cable. However, the LAN cable is used instead of the CCA-5 cable to send the control signals to the camera equipment.
Since the Bridge mode allows one-to-one connection, it is prohibited to connect multiple RCPs to a single camera or oper-
ate multiple cameras by selecting cameras by the MSU.
The Bridge mode has the advantage that CCU and the control panel can be installed in remote locations since they are
connected via network. At the same time, multiple camera systems that are configured by the Bridge mode can be mixed on
a single network by using HUB.
Further, the control panel has the three connection modes that are the Active, the Passive and the Semi-Auto that selects Ac-
tive or Passive semi-automatically.

MCS mode
The MCS mode enables configuration of the multiple camera systems consisting of the multiple equipment supporting the
network connection. The MCS mode is equivalent to the conventional system that uses CNU. Cameras can be selected from
the MSU enabling control and the RCP assignment. In the MSU mode, any single MSU among the equipment in the system
should be assigned as the Master and be set accordingly.
n
The HXCU-100 does not support the MCS mode.

Camera Network System 1-3 (E)

Connection mode
The connection modes are the sub modes of the Bridge mode determining operations of the Bridge mode. The connection
mode is set by the panel equipment side determining configuration. There are following three connection modes. Use
Semi-Auto mode normally.
Active : The settings that are required for connection are performed to the target equipment from one’s own side. (The
target equipment to be connected is called Target.)
In this mode, one side should be set as Active while the other side should be set as Passive.
Passive : The equipment of Passive mode awaits connection from the Target equipment in this mode. (Camera and CCU
are fixed to Passive so that no setting is required.)
When the Passive mode is used, the system camera equipment that does not support the network function of
the camera network system can be controlled via network. (However, the equipment that does not guarantee
connection with RCP or MSU can not be connected.)
The connection that allows a single equipment to become Target of multiple units of equipment is not possible.
Semi-Auto : When equipment is set in the Semi-Auto mode, the equipment is switched to Active or Passive depending on
the connection environment. When RCP or MSU is connected to network as standalone equipment indepen-
dently, they become Active. When RPC or MSU is connected to CCU or camera with the CCA-5 cable, they
become Passive. (Factory default setting)
Network setting should be made in each equipment. For the equipment of Active mode, IP address of the Target equipment
should also be set.

Master/Client
When the MCS mode is selected to configure a system, a single equipment of the system should be set as Master.
This equipment is called Master, and other equipment is called Client. (Only MSU can be set as Master.)
When multiple units of MSU are used, a single MSU should be set as Master while all other units of MSU should be set as
Client. The Master equipment performs the function equivalent to CNU in the conventional system. Since the Master equip-
ment performs the system arbitration, never turn off the power of the Master equipment while the system is in operation.
The network setting (including IP address, subnet mask and default gateway) and the equipment number (CCU number,
RCP number and MSU number) should be set to each equipment. The IP address of the Master equipment should be set in
the Client equipment separately.

RCP assignment
The RCP assignment is the function that enables us to change combination of camera and CCU without changing the
physical connection of the control cable, for the control from RCP. The RCP assignment function can be used in the MCS
mode.

Preview
The preview ON/OFF information of RCPs that have the preview function can be acquired from the interface connector.

Power supply to RCP

The power to the RCP-1500/1501/1530 can be supplied via three methods of “PoE”, “Via CCA-5 cable” and “Supplying
power to EXT I/O”. A method of supplying power is automatically selected in the way that the power with the highest
voltage has priority.
When “PoE” is select to supply the power, calculate the power that can be supplied from the respective output terminal of
the equipment supplying power, and the total power that is required by each equipment. Use the equipment supplying
power that has the sufficient power supply capacity. If another RCP is connected by the CCA-5 cable to an RCP that has
already been connected by PoE, total power may exceed the power supply capacity with PoE. Do not connect equipment in
such way.

In addition to the menu setting items, the equipment setting should also be performed.

Setting the equipment number (camera number)

When equipment is used in the MCS mode, the equipment number (camera number) should be set.
In the CNU system, the CCU connector numbers become the equipment number. However, in the Camera Network System,
the equipment number should be set to the individual equipment separately.
The camera number is set by the switch S409 (B-4/side A) of the AT-167 board in the HDCU1000/1080/1500/3300. It is set
by the switch S311 (B-4/side A) of the AT-155 board in the CCU-590/790. Use the switches 1 to 4 to set the ones place
digit. Use the switches 5 to 8 to set the tenths place digit.
The alphanumeric of 0 to f can be set in each place. However, a to f are invalid. The camera number in the range of 1 to 96
can be set.
For more details of the setting method, refer to the CCU Installation Manual “Setting the Camera Number”.

RCP Assignment

4-1. RCP Assignment Function Overview

The RCP assignment is the function that enables us to change combination of camera and CCU from RCP without changing
the physical connection of the control cable. The RCP assignment function can be used in the MCS mode.
For example, the RCP-1 that is connected to the CCU-1 in the following figure can control the CCU-1 in the default condi-
tion. However, it can also be used as an RCP for the other CCU (for example CCU-2) when the RCP assignment function is
used. In the same manner, the RCP-4 can also be used as the RCP for the CCU-3 by implementing the setting.

The RCP assignment is also possible in the system using the CNU. However, because the RCP assignment is possible for
only the equipment that is connected to the same CNU, combination is restricted in the system using more than 12 units.
We can get rid of such restriction by setting the network connection.

Preview

5-1. Overview of the Preview Function

The Preview ON/OFF information of RCPs that have the Preview function can be acquired from the interface connector.
This signal can also be acquired from an RCP, but using the RCP assignment function makes it difficult to link with as-
signed CCU numbers.
This information can also be acquired from the CCU’s interface connector by the setting. The information is output from
the CCU controlled by the RCP, and therefore link is made automatically. This function is also valid for CNU connection.
