Quick-Connect CCU Controller for the Canon BU Series Cameras
Overview:
The Vaddio Quick-Connect CCU Controller for the Canon BU Series PTZ Cameras (above) allows the discerning
video professional to control the color and shading of the BU Series camera’s video output. A host of advanced
controls are available to accurately and precisely set up a video shoot even in the most challenging environments.
The Quick-Connect CCU Controller is different from Vaddio’s previous CCU offerings in that it does not process
the HD-SDI video from the camera output ensuring the video quality and signal integrity of the BU camera.
Instead, it controls the camera’s DSP functions and provides the most advanced image control available today.
The Quick-Connect CCU Controller is equipped with Control IN and OUT and can be run in-line with the Vaddio
ProductionVIEW HD-SDI video mixer/switcher or the ProductionVIEW Precision Camera Controller. Using the
Vaddio Cat. 5e Structured Media Control Cabling Standard, the control signals can be routed over Cat. 5e (or Cat.
6) up to the distance of 500’ (152.4 m).
The Quick-Connect has many useful features including tally illumination on the front panel which allows the
operator to know exactly which camera and CCU is live, a variety of auto and manual modes including night
mode, and the ability to store scenes for time of day programming and baseline shot set-ups.
Intended Use:
Before operating the system, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built and
tested for use indoors, and with the provided power supply. The use of a power supply other than the one
provided or outdoor operation has not been tested and could damage the camera and/or create a potentially
unsafe operating condition.

Important Safeguards:

Use only the power supply provided with the Quick-Connect 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 camera control line failing and locking up. For best
results please use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all cables for proper pin-out prior
to termination.
