3.3 Camera with TriaxHD adapter and SuperXpander
A camera head with the LDK 5860 TriaxHD adapter can be mounted in the LDK 4488
SuperXpander. This enables large box lenses to be used with the camera. A 7-inch HDTV
viewfinder LDK 4020/20 can be mounted on the SuperXpander.
The camera with the TriaxHD adapter connects to the SuperXpander via a flying lead. The
power supply for the camera is supplied via this lead. The SuperXpander is connected to an
LDK 4502 HD Base Station using a Triax cable. This configuration can be powered either:
– from the Base Station via the triax cable, or
– locally with the mains power supply connected directly to the SuperXpander.
The maximum length of triax cable that can be used without significant degradation of the
video signal is 1,200m (4,000 ft.) for a 14mm Triax cable when the configuation is powered
locally.
To control the configuration an OCP 400 operational control panel can be connected directly to
the Base Station using a cross-over Ethernet cable. The Base Station is powered by a mains
power supply.
