Outline and features The CU-HD1500 is a camera control unit (CCU) designed for the newly developed three times high speed camera SK-HD1500. The CU-HD1500 has significantly reduced power consumption and sophisticated function. The CU-HD1500 simultaneously provides both three times speed outputs (1080i/720p）and normal speed outputs (1080i/720p/SD) to offer a flexible system operation. Features ■ Three times smoothly slow-motion playback combined with video server.
Warnings and cautions when using Salt spray or corrosive gases. Strong electromagnetic fields (e.g., near TV or radio transmitters). Where exposed to rain. CAUTION Do not disassemble or modify The camera contains precision internal components. Do not open the cover or disturb switches and controls other than designated. There is risk of impaired performance and damage. When connecting and disconnecting cables, grasp the connector by the body, not the attached cable.
Warnings and cautions when using Hybrid Fiber Optical Camera Cable & Connector Handling CU-HD1500 camera is using the optical fiber cable & connector which is required special technique for handling. 1.

Service information Network Settings The network IP address can be set by connecting a CROSSED RJ45 network cable (crossed-cable) or straight RJ45 cable with network hub between a PC and the CU-HD1500. The control software is provided by HITACHI. a. XPORT web server device installation NOTE: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or greater must be installed on the PC beforehand b. Insert the downloaded software that file name “Di32DL_4.2.0.3_Web.
Service information 1.) Please set or change the TCP/IP protocol properties of the PC to “Obtain an IP address automatically” because the IP Address initialization of CU-HD1500 is an automatic acquisition mode. If the CCU has set IP address, the PC has to be set “Use the following IP address” then input the IP address, Subnet mask, and Default gateway. 2.) Connect the CU-HD1500 to the PC as shown in the above figure.
Service information If the IP Address of the CU-HD1500 is highlighted, and the "Home" button on the screen is clicked, the Network Settings are displayed on the right pane of the DeviceInstaller program. Note that only the IP Address can be changed on the Network Settings pane. When it is necessary to change the port number of the CCU, click on the “Serial Settings” under Channel 1 on the Network Settings pane. 4.
Service information When CU-HD1500 is changed to arbitrary [IP Address], [Subnet Mask], and [Default Gateway], and the address is retrieved, it is necessary to match IP Address of PC, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway. (Enough operational administrative to IP Address etc.
