Camera Number
Each CCU has its own large camera number that shows you which camera is being controlled. 
This large display is illuminated green when in a neutral state and red when its camera is 
switched to the program output.
Gain and Pedestal Level Control
The joystick control lets you make fine adjustments to the gain/iris and pedestal/master 
black levels.
Leaning the joystick forwards or backwards opens or closes the camera’s iris, also known as 
the gain level. As you lean the joystick forwards and backwards, its indicator strip will illuminate, 
providing an approximate display of the camera’s exposure. For a precise assessment of the 
exposure f-stop, observe the iris indicator.
Located around the collar of the joystick’s handle is a ring wheel that controls the pedestal 
level. The ring wheel has small ridges built in for firm control and a position indicator is located 
on the top of the knob to show the physical positioning of the wheel. Turn the wheel clockwise 
to increase the master black level, or counter clockwise to decrease.
BLACK/FLARE
The joystick lets you adjust the gain level by leaning the controller 
forwards and backwards. The master black level can be adjusted 
by turning the ring wheel clockwise or counter clockwise. 
Corresponding indicators are provided for accurate measurement.
Iris and Master Black Indicators
The indicators for the iris and master black joystick control displays the gain value, shown as the 
f-stop exposure level for the camera lens and the level of the master black setting.
