Connector for Camera cable (5)
This connector is used for attachment of the plug of the camera cable.
The plug can only be plugged in a certain position. This is achieved by a small nose on the top of the plug.
The red mark on the 14-pin-plug must correspond with the red mark on the socket to install the plug.
The plug fastens automatically when completely plugged in.
To unfasten the plug, grip the knurled part of the plug and pull the plug out of the socket.
Video outputs (6)
You can attach external output-devices such as monitor, videorecorder or videoprinter to the VIDEO-
OUT connectors.
The videosignal is provided in three different standards.
The two BNC-terminals provide the videosignal as VBS-signal (composit-signal, VHS-standard).
The 4-pin-Y/C-terminal provides the videosignal as Hosiden-signal (separate conductors for chroma- and
luminance-signal, S-VHS-standard).
Optionally, the camera can be equipped with RGB-output
All video outputs are available simultaneously, so that all standards can be used at one time.
You should better use the Y/C-signal than VBS-signal if possible, because you will achieve a much better image
quality in contrast to standard VHS-standard.
With RGB output, you will achieve a once more improved image quality, the devices then connect to the camera
must support this standard.
Pot. ground connector (7)
Basically, the control unit is protectively earthed by the 3-pin power supply cord when it is connect to a
protectively earthed wall socket, as prescribed.
When running the equipment in rooms which comply to class 1 or 2E according to MedGV, the control unit
must be joined to the central potential equalisation of the operating theatre or of the equipment trolley by means
of a grounding cable.
Fuse holder (10)
Contains the mains fuses.
Line connector (9)
The plug of the power supply cord is connect to the mains terminal device.
