3.6.1. Electrical SDI video connections
All electrical SDI video connections are BNC type. The following suggestions should be
kept in mind when wiring the electrical signals.
BNC connectors used on cables must be suitable for the high frequencies of digital
video signals: it is strongly recommended to use high quality connectors from well
known manufacturers.
All coaxial cable used must be Belden 1694A or similar. This type provides the greatest
lengths because it is used to calculate the equalizers in the HAM3000C03. Cables
carrying signal between the module and the devices should use single piece
construction, avoiding spliced sections with double BNC female or barrel connectors.
If it is necessary to split the cable into two sections the same type of wire should be
used in both sections.
The use of analog video coaxial cables RG-59 type or similar is not recommended for
digital video except for very short distances.
3.6.2. Analog video connections
The reference analog video signal input uses two BNC connectors configured in
loop-through.
The analog video outputs use BNC connectors and have an impedance of 75Ω.
3.6.3. Digital audio connections
Digital audio inputs are balanced and use 3.81mm pitch terminal block connectors.
Digital audio outputs are balanced, use 3.81mm pitch terminal block connectors and
their characteristic impedance is 110Ω.
For digital audio connections 110Ω characteristic impedance, two-wire shielded cable
is preferred. The GND terminal allows connection of the cable shield.
3.6.4. Analog audio connections
The analog audio outputs are balanced, use 3.81mm pitch terminal block connectors
and their characteristic impedance is 73Ω.
For analog audio connections two-wire shielded cable is preferred. The GND terminal
allows connection of the cable shield.
