Panasonic AK-UCU710PSJ AK Studio Camera Control Unit (LEMO)

Panasonic AK-UCU710PSJ AK Studio Camera Control Unit (LEMO) is the rack-side brain for a Panasonic studio camera chain, built for real control-room workflows: power delivery to the camera, multi-line SDI I/O, return feeds, prompter trunk, sync reference, intercom, tally, and serial control. If you are building a studio or OB rack where everything needs to land cleanly in one place, this CCU is the hub.

Highlights

• High-capacity CCU power with up to 550 W consumption and AC 240 V / 1.46 A camera power capability (tolerance 5%)
• Multi-line SDI output set including 3G/HD-SDI (5 lines) plus 12G/6G/3G/HD-SDI (2 lines) for higher-bandwidth paths
• Return and prompter workflows with Return Input (4 lines) and HD TRUNK (Prompter) input (1 line)
• House sync friendly with BB / tri-level reference input and loop-through output
• Control-room integration via Intercom I/O, tally I/O, RS-422 (ROP/MSU), LAN trunk, plus a 3.5-inch touch LCD

Why It Helps

In a studio rack, the difference between a smooth show and a messy day is whether your camera chain lands predictably. This CCU consolidates the critical links: SDI outputs where engineering expects them, return feeds for the camera side, a dedicated prompter trunk path, reference handling with loop-through, plus the control surfaces and signaling (intercom, tally, RS-422, LAN trunk) that make the whole system feel like one coordinated rig.

System Characteristics

• Plan your power and cooling: 550 W max draw means real rack power budgeting (and it drops to 130 W without a camera attached)
• Reference matters: BB and tri-level are both supported and auto-recognized, which keeps sync setup straightforward
• Return paths are not optional: 4 lines of return input is built for multi-return camera workflows, not just a single ‘confidence’ feed
• Control cabling stays clean: RS-422 lines for ROP/MSU plus LAN trunk reduce one-off adapters and improvisation
• Front-panel usability: the 3.5-inch touch LCD is there for quick checks when you are standing at the rack

5 Quick Takeaways

• Runs on 100–240 V AC for standard facility power
• Supports higher-bandwidth SDI paths with 12G/6G/3G/HD-SDI outputs
• Built for studio camera workflows with return + prompter trunk
• Integrates with house sync via BB / tri-level reference and loop-through
• Adds control-room essentials: tally, intercom, RS-422, LAN trunk
