7 System Installation

7.3 Use of Coaxial Cable as Signal Conductor

The TCR180 module provides two BNC connectors for providing time code signals to synchronize the system.

Your system must be connected to the TCR180 signal inputs using coaxial cable with the proper character-
istic impedance and adequate shielding.

A mismatched cable impedance will result in signal distortion, while poor shielding can cause signal inter-
ference.
