Anatomy of the Universal CCU
The Universal CCU interfaces for the PowerVIEW HD-22 and the PowerVIEW HD-30 have very similar control
protocols and share the same control keypad. The Universal CCU will automatically sense the camera it is and
initialize the firmware for the connected camera. The next section will look at the controls and how they are laid
out for easy access.

Front Panel Controls (left to right):

5-Line Blue Back-lit LED: Displays up to control parameters at a time so the interrelationship of the controls can easily
and quickly be read and understood.

Tally Light: A contact closure on the back panel lights the blue LED on front panel indicating which Universal CCU and
camera combination is the live Program in a multi-camera CCU installation. A tally command will also be sent to the
camera via RS-232 to light the LED on cameras with on-board tally lights (Vaddio HD Series cameras).

HD-22/HD-30 Keypad Controls from (left to right): Touch the button with the parameter to be controlled and
adjust the value with the encoder, then touch the cancel button to exit. When the rotary encoder button is
touched, the SELECT and CANCEL menu buttons will illuminate to remind the user to either…select or cancel.
 Scenes A, B & C: Three camera adjustment scenes (A, B & C) can be stored into microprocessor memory. When
lit (backlit blue button), the scene is activated. To store a scene, the user adjusts the controls and touches and
holds the scene button down until the button blinks. To erase a scene press and hold the scene button and the
cancel button.
 Auto White Balance: The Automatic White Balance controls/adjusts the color levels automatically when engaged.
Take it out of Auto to manually adjust the Red and Blue levels.
 OPWB (One Push White Balance): When using OPWB, zoom in on a white subject (at least 60% of the image
must be true white) touch the OPWB button and the coloration of the image will adjust to the white used in this shot.
 Red & Blue Gain Controls: The Red and Blue Gain buttons in combination with the encoder adjust the red and
blue gain of the signal when Auto White Balance is disengaged.
 Chroma: Chroma controls the overall color saturation of the image.
 PED:
This is the Pedestal or black level control for the HD-22/HD-30 cameras.
 Gamma: Gamma adjusts the overall brightness of an image to compensate for the perception of luminance and
chroma.
 Detail: The Detail control sharpens or softens objects in the frame. Works well when looking at text.
 IRIS - Auto or Manual: The Auto Iris mode automatically adjusts the iris and gain of the camera. To manually
adjust the iris or gain, turn off this control. The Manual Iris control allows the user to set the iris manually to one of
the several settings available
 Gain: The Gain control boosts the signal level when the iris is open all the way, and there is not enough lighting
available. To manually adjust the Gain, Auto Iris must be off. Use the Gain last to enhance the image.
 Rotary Encoder: Use the encoder to adjust values after the button is selected. This makes for very quick
changes.
 The Menu Buttons: There are other screens to be accessed other than the camera control screen. Use the
SELECT and CANCEL to enter other controls and exit other menus. These lights will illuminate for 10 Seconds, but
no control operations are interrupted.
