6.6.Standard Operation
The section is devoted to a number of “Best Practices” for use of the CopperHead 3400 Transceiver
System. Specific information on how to operate the system has been presented in the sections above.
1. Protect the Fiber Optic Cable and the Fiber Optic Connectors. Always keep these capped unless
there are being connected.
2. Read the section on planning the Fiber Run – it may come in handy – Page 63.
3. Once the system is set up and running, do not ignore the Optical Power Signal Strength
Readouts at either the Camera or the Base Station. While the Alarm functions of the system are
very good, so is the tolerance for optical Signal Strength reduction. By monitoring –dBm levels
you can take preventative action to stop a signal and possibly an On-Air or Recording loss. The
system is, of course, digital and so the Signal Strength is either just good enough or usually much
better than that. When it is no longer strong enough the signal stops.
4. If introducing new equipment (cameras, switchers, etc.) or new operators be sure to do a test
run with everything as it will be during the actual production. Reading this User Guide is a good
start but hands-on is the best way to understand how it will and more importantly what to do to
insure proper operation.
5. If your production is a Multi-Camera shoot with Time Code synchronized between all cameras it
is a good idea to periodically confirm that proper Time Code is being returned from the various
cameras and that a switch has not been changed in error at a camera location.
