The model CP-50 Universal Controller is a low-cost, desktop single machine controller
designed for applications that don't require the multi-machine capability of the HSE-200.It
is intended for any application that requires a high-quality, low cost vtr/ddr
controller. It is well-suited for Non-linear Edit Rooms, Graphics Workstations,
On-Air or Presentation Playback, Dub Facilities, or Transmission or quality-control
positions. The CP-50RM shares the highest quality, reliability, and solid feel of
the larger controllers. The ultra-smooth transport control and quick, reliable
response is identical to that of the HSE-200. |

TBC and Audio Level Control is done using the same RS-422
link that provides transport control. This control mode is supported by almost all
digital vtrs (Digi-betacam, IMX, DVC Pro, etc.), and can be used with analog machines such
as BVW-75s by using our AIF-422 TBC Control adapter.
Another feature of the CP-50 is an external control port. This allows the
CP-50 to 'pass through' control from another device, such as an Avid or other non-linear
edit system. In this configuration, control of the vtr may by instantly delegated to
either the CP-50 panel, or the external system. Two or more panels may also be
'daisy-chained' to allow control from several locations.
The external control port may be configured as either RS-422 or RS-232. In the
RS-232 mode, it connects directly to PC-based edit systems or graphics workstations,
avoiding the need for an external converter. This controller is also available in a
rack-mount version, the CP-50RM. |
