Section II - Medium Length Fiber Cable Studio Configurations

Typical Applications:
Medium length Fiber Cable Studio Configurations are used for EFP, Sports and Events requiring the CCU to be located
more than 100m from the Camera's location. When multi-core cable lengths exceed 100m, the multi-Core cable weight
becomes excessive. For lengths greater than 100m a fiber cable can be used for applications that do not need power to be
delivered to the camera or a hybrid (combined fiber and copper cable) that also delivers power is used to connect the Studio
Camera to the base station. Camplex and Telecast Fiber are two companies that produce systems that use either fiber or
hybrid cables to connect the camera to the CCU.

CAMPLEX:

CAMPLEX produces economical hybrid cable connected systems that integrate with the GY-HD250U. Their system
consists of a Camera Adapter mounted on the Camera, a Hybrid Fiber Cable and a Base Station.
Base Station (CCU)
The Camera Adapter with additional cabling provides a signal interface between the camera and the Hybrid Cable.
The Hybrid cable consists of a coaxial cable whose center conductor gauge depends on the customer's power
requirements and a fiber cable. Both are enclosed in a single sheath.
The Fiber cable carries the HD-SDI optical signal back to the base station where it is converted back to an electrical
signal HD-SDI signal.
The center conductor in the coax carries both power and all the required signals between the Base station and the
Camera adapter.
