Connectors into and out of the CopperHead FS-790 Base Station
This information duplicates some of that from above sections. It is presented here to provide a single list of all
Base Station connections. Key numbers refer to the diagram above and to the Overview Diagram found in
Appendix 4.
1 & 19
Power In
Depending on your Base Station model, connect a standard 12V DC ADAP power source (4 Pin) or a
standard 3 conductor AC Cable (IEC Plug) 100-240V 50/60 Hz
4 & 21
Fiber Connector
(this connector can be mounted on the Base Station Front Panel – See Page 28)
Connect the fiber connector from either the Fiber Cable connected directly to the camera or to the
MPS or HDX external power supply if your system is so configured. The type of Fiber Connector will
vary depending on your system configuration.
5
Multi-Pin Connector A
DB9 – 9 pin serial connector connected to an optional Camera Remote Control Panel
Power to the Base Unit must be turned off when connecting the Camera Remote Control
Panel – connecting with the power on can seriously damage your equipment.
6
Multi-Pin Connector B
DB15 – 15 pin serial connector connected to a breakout of Tally signal connectors. Typically this
connector will be connected to the Camera Tally system originating at the Production Switcher or the
Tally Management system used on your production environment.
See Section 6 for an example configuration.
7
Time Code In
BNC Connector – Standard time code signal sent to camera – typically originating from “house” time
code generator feed available to Base Station. On remote productions the primary camera may be
used to originate the system time code feed (signal would return to base station via connector 8 and
then be distributed to other cameras through the associated Copperhead Base Stations
8
Time Code Out
BNC Connector – Standard time code signal originating from the camera. This time code can be used
to reference the local camera time code for proper operations and may also be used as a source for
production wide time code distribution.
9
Sync In/Loop
BNC Connector – standard Genlock/Sync/Tri-Level sync signal. The loop through is self-
terminating.
10
Video Return (Analog) In
BNC Connector – Typically used to send SD return video to the camera – an example is monitor out
from the Production Switcher
