I am looking for the D-sub 25 intercom/tally pin configuration for the ccu-tx50. Any ideas where I can get this info? If I could find the service manual, that would be great too.

After doing lots of research yesterday, I found the Sony Broadcast Operations Support Center. They were very helpful in faxing pin configs and other pertinent info. If your interested, their number is: 1-800-883-6817. They faxed me about 20 pages from the CCU-TX50 service manual. I am still waiting for a call back from the tech re tiing all camera intercom together as well as tiing the intercom in with a channel of Clearcom linking video world with production via a 2 channel Clearcom base station. My engineer did it for me in Vegas with a TX7, but that was about 9 years ago, and I forgot how we did it. Any ideas?

That's very kind of them.

I'm sorry but I can't understand what you want to do. First of all, did you mean using ClearCom / Telex / RTS wireless base station (trademark's different, idea's the same)? Is any intercom matrix involved? How many cameras in there? Two-way intercom or without talkback? Are there any separated channels?
Can you put more light here? I might find some quick solution.

Tadeusz,
I have 3 cameras, and I want the ability to tie all together, ie. partyline. once we have all 3 cameras tied together with 2 way communication, I want to be able toput that channel of communication into a 2 channel Clearcom (brand name) main station. This will result in have 1 channel of communication from Video TD and Camera Operators, and 1 channel of communication from Video TD with lighting, sound, and the rest of production for shows. I can then also combine both channels for full communications to all. (A + B channel link mode). I hope this paints a clearer picture for you,

Do you mean intercom matrix (Matrix plus, Eclipse 32 etc.)

Unfortunately still not. Normally - first option assumed - it's done using intercom panels (Vide TD, Lighting, Sound, Shaders etc.) and easily configured using intercom managing software.
The only thing which needs to be done is to think about connecting cameras with intercom matrix. It can be done either by:
A) connecting three CCUs separately to the intercom matrix ports and create Special List, where you have an option to link them together and put under one button. That's the ideal option.
B) connecting three CCUs with some kind of splitter (to split audio to cameras) and combiner (to sum audio from cameras). You'd have to find some 'brick' devices, like: http://www.sonifex.co.uk/. Canford catalogue (http://www.canford.co.uk/) might be useful as well. In general it's more complicated but it works as well.
Another thing to consider is possibility to have another (engineering) channel of communication for cameramen. It's up to you and your needs.
Please write what do you think about my guesses and we'll think what to do next.
