Camera end (Remote):

1

3G-SDI I/P 1 – connect the camera’s main SDI output here.

2

3G-SDI I/P 2 – this can be used for a second camera, or the second output from a 3D camera 

for example.

3

Loop – an active loopthrough output of SDI I/P 2 for connection to other equipment.

4

3G-SDI O/P 1 – if needed, a return SDI feed from the base station is available at this 

connector for monitoring or other purposes.

5

3G-SDI O/P 2 – as above.

6

Composite O/P – this will normally be used for genlock; connect to the camera’s genlock 

input.

7

Audio I/P 1 –balanced input (XLR3F) for the audio Ch. 1 send to the base unit.

8

Audio O/P 1 – balanced output (XLR3M) of the audio Ch. 1 return from the base unit. 

9

Audio I/O 2 – balanced input and output (XLR5F) of audio Ch. 2 send and return to/from the 

base unit.

10

Data Output – if connected at the base end, RS-232/422 serial data will be present at this 

D9F connector for camera control. Two GPI tally lines are also available for signalisation use.

Base end:

1

3G-SDI O/P 1 – the SDI signal from the camera.

2

3G-SDI O/P 2 – the second video signal connected to 3G-SDI I/P 2 at the camera end.

3

Loop – a second (buffered) output of SDI O/P 2.

4

3G-SDI I/P 1 – connect a return SDI feed to the camera location here. This signal will be 

available at the 3G-SDI O/P 1 connector at the remote unit.

5

3G-SDI I/P 2 – as [4] above; this signal will be available at the 3G-SDI O/P 2 connector at the 

remote unit.

6

Composite I/P – this will normally be used to feed genlock to the camera location.

7

Audio O/P 1 – balanced output (XLR3M) of the audio signal connected to Audio I/P 1 at the 

remote unit (audio send Ch. 1).

8

Audio I/P 1 – balanced input (XLR3F) for connecting audio Ch.1 return feed to the remote unit. 

9

Audio I/O 2 - balanced input and output (XLR5F) of audio Ch. 2 return and send to/from the 

remote unit.

10

Data Input – D9F connector for supplying RS-232/422 control data to the camera. Two GPI 

tally lines are also available on this connector for base-to-camera signalisation.
