Camera Ethernet Connections
Each camera chain in the SilverBack base unit has a dedicated Ethernet path for the camera unit. These
paths are capable of 10/100/1000 Mbps operation and each contains an internal Ethernet switch,
providing two ports for connectivity at the base station. The use of Cat5e or Cat6 cables is
recommended.
Intercom, Tally, and GPIO Connections
Each camera chain in the SilverBack V base unit has a dedicated DB25 connector for intercom, tally, and
GPIO connections. This connector follows the standard pinout used by Sony and Panasonic CCUs and
supports 2-wire or 4-wire intercom systems.
Red and green tallies, as well as a GPIO in each direction, are provided. Tallies and GPIs expect a contact-
closure to ground to activate, and the GPO provides a contact-closure to ground when activated at the
camera unit. See pinouts for more details. Pre-made breakout cables are available for 2-wire and 4-wire
intercom systems.

Audio Connections
Each camera chain in the SilverBack base unit has a dedicated DB25 connector, providing a bidirectional
four-channel audio interface with the camera. These inputs and outputs may be configured as either
analog line level or AES on a stereo-pair basis using the System menu.
The audio DB25 connector follows the Tascam channel-numbering convention, designating the first four
channels as audio inputs and the last four channels as audio outputs. When using AES, only the odd
numbered channels are used. See pinouts for more details. A pre-made breakout cable to XLR
connectors is available.
