Precautions
Note on faulty pixels on the LCD panel

The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with high
precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio of at least
99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of pixels may be “stuck,”
either always off (black), always on (red, green, or blue), or
flashing. In addition, over a long period of use, because of the
physical characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such
“stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously. These problems are
not a malfunction.
Cleaning the touch panel

When cleaning the touch panel display, use a soft cloth and
some ethanol to gently wipe only the area that is dirty. Using
too much ethanol or broad wiping may result in smearing.
You can also use a soft, dry cloth such as that used for
cleaning glasses to gently wipe off the dirt.
Notes
• Do not clean the touch panel with water or any chemical
substances other than ethanol.
• When wiping the touch panel, take proper care to prevent
any liquid from entering between the touch panel and the
body of the unit.
• Using excessive force when wiping may result in scratches
on the touch panel.
Note on interference
Do not place mobile phones or similar devices on the control
panel. Doing so may result in malfunction of the unit.

• The maximum cable length for from a CCU (camera control unit) to an RCP is 200 m.
• Up to six systems can be connected to a CNU-700 as standard. In such a case, connect one MSU and one VCS.
Up to 12 systems can be connected if you install BKP-7930 in the CNU-700. In such a case, connect two MSUs and two
VCSs.
• Up to 24 systems can be connected if you connect a pair of CNU-700s. In such a case, you can connect four MSUs and

• The maximum number of devices that can be directly connected to the network is 96 excluding the master MSU. This
maximum number does not include any RCP connected by CCA cable to a CCU connected to the network or any CCU
connected by CCA cable to a RCP connected to the network. A client MSU is counted as one unit.
• A CNU and VCS cannot be connected to a system that will be used in MCS mode.
Regarding the power supply of a switching hub

The power consumption of the PoE of this control panel is 7 W.
Use a hub capable of supplying enough power for all

The color temperature of light shining on the subject varies
moment by moment when you shoot outdoors. When
correcting for this, you can link the cameras within the system
and then control them. When you do this, set the camera that
is to be controlled directly to “Master,” and the cameras that
are to be linked to “Subordinate.”
When you change the white balance of the control panel to
which the master camera is connected, the subordinate
cameras are corrected by the same correction amount.
However, adjusting a subordinate camera does not affect any
of the other cameras.
The white balance link function is only enabled when there is
a connection to a CNU (LEGACY mode).
Note
The functions that are available on the control panel may be
limited depending on the connected camera. Some controls
may not function with certain cameras, but this is not a

White Corrects the color reproduction of the camera to match the color
temperature of the light source shining on the subject.
RGB R/G/B Changes the sensitivity of each primary color (R, G, and B) and corrects
the color temperature.
ATW This is the Auto Tracing White Balance. It continually corrects the white
balance to match the screen during shooting. An error may be generated
depending on the pattern.
AWB This is the Auto White Balance. Pressing this button during the shooting of
a white subject automatically corrects the color temperature so that the
white parts of the subject become white.
Color Temp Color Temp Corrects the color temperature in accordance with the spectrum of black
body radiation of the color space. (R and B are corrected in the opposite
direction.)
Balance Corrects the balance so that it intersects the color temperature in the color
space. (R and B are corrected in the same direction.)
ATW This is the Auto Tracing White Balance. It continually corrects the white
balance to match the screen during shooting. An error may be generated
depending on the pattern.
AWB This is the Auto White Balance. Pressing this button during the shooting of
a white subject automatically corrects the color temperature so that the
white parts of the subject become white.
Black Adjusts the black level of images for when the lens is closed.
R/G/B Adjusts the black level of each of R, G, and B.
Master Links R, G, and B and adjusts them simultaneously.
ABB This is the Auto Black Balance. It automatically adjusts the R black and B
black so that no color is added to black when the lens is closed. Depending
on the model of camera, Black Set is also automatically adjusted at the
same time. When this is executed, the lens is temporarily closed.
Flare Corrects the phenomenon of black in the subject becoming bright and color
being added due to the influence of the optical system. Adjusting this in the
plus direction reduces the black level of the corresponding color in
accordance with the brightness of the subject. Be careful not to overcorrect
this.

HD Adjust ON: Performs detail adjustment for HD output (down converted) of BPU.
OFF or not displayed: Performs the conventional detail adjustment.
Level Adjusts the contour correction level. Adjusting this in the plus direction
makes pictures sharp, and adjusting this in the minus direction makes
pictures soft. For cameras with an electronic software focus function, this
enables softer pictures than when in the DTL OFF state.
Limiter Makes adjustments so that contour correction is not greater than a set level
to prevent overcorrection by strong contour correction when shooting
subjects with large luminance differences. Adjusting this in the plus
direction also enables clipping of objects with small luminance differences.
Crisp Makes adjustments so that signals with small luminance differences are
considered to be noise and correction is not applied to them in order to
reduce the emphasizing of also the contours of noise by the contour
correction function. Adjusting this in the plus direction results in luminance
differences for which contour correction is not performed becoming large
and improvements in S/N sensitivity, but resolution sensitivity deteriorates.
Level Dep Contour correction is not applied to the dark parts and S/N sensitivity is
increased in order to reduce the emphasizing of also the contours of noise
by the contour correction function. Adjusting this in the plus direction
results in contour correction not being applied up to a brighter level.
Level Dep Off Disables the Level Dep function.
2/3 This is the second page of detail adjustment.
H/V Ratio Adjusts the horizontal and vertical ratio of contour correction.
Frequency Adjusts the center frequency of contour correction.
Mix Ratio With a type of camera that creates a contour correction signal from
gamma, adjusts the ratio for adding that correction signal before and after
the gamma.
Detail Comb Reduces cross color noise by applying the comb filter to contour correction
signals. Adjusting this in the plus direction reduces cross color noise, but
resolution sensitivity deteriorates. This can only be used when an SD
camera is connected.
3/3 This is the third page of detail adjustment.
W Limiter This is the limiter correction for detail signals added in the white direction.
B Limiter This is the limiter correction for detail signals added in the black direction.
Fine DTL Attenuates the contour correction signal. Adjusting this in the plus direction
attenuates the signal. This can only be used when an SD camera is
connected.

Level This is the contour correction value within the color area that is set with
Phase or Width. Adjusting this in the plus direction makes pictures sharp,
and adjusting this in the minus direction makes pictures soft. For cameras
with an electronic software focus function, this enables softer pictures than
when in the DTL OFF state.
Phase Adjusts the center of the hues of the effective color area of Skin DTL. The
value is almost equivalent to the phase on a vector scope.
Width Sets a range centered on the phase. The value indicates an angle.

Adjusting this in the minus direction also allows Skin DTL to be enabled for
places with less saturation.
