Installation Instructions Out of the box Before unpacking the Fusion CCU, always inspect the shipping container for evidence of damage and report any damage immediately. Always place the shipping container in the upright position as marked on the packaging. Remove the Fusion CCU from the packaging, ensuring that all transport packing and retaining fixings are removed. Inspect the Fusion CCU for any damage that may have occurred during shipping.
Connecting to Camera Cameras can be connected to the Fusion CCU using either a RS-232 or RS-422 cable. If the camera is connected using a RS-232 cable, the LED located under the ethernet port illuminates. The LED is not illuminated when using RS-422. Important note: The type of cable used, must be of the correct communication protocol and pin out for the camera in use on that channel. Table 1 shows the correct pin out for RS-422 and RS-232 cables used to connect the Camera to the Fusion CCU.
Operation The Camera Control Unit (Fusion CCU) is designed to remotely control camera functions, typically camera iris, shutter speed, black level, gain, knee, colour balance as well as monitoring and adjustment of other parameters. The use of a Fusion CCU allows Operators to achieve maximum picture quality whilst working remotely with the Fusion system. The Fusion CCU has no Operator control functions.
