Video Module Planning

All VDR-100G3 and SVDR-100G3 installations include a single video module for capture of up to
4 video channels.
When only one video channel is connected to the video module, the module is often mounted in
the bottom cabinet of the source radar. Many modern radar's offer their buffered video (VDR)
signal via a standard VGA 15-Pin receptacle and in this case often only a simple (1 meter long)
manufactured VGA cable assembly is required for connection.
In cases where the video module is not co-located with its video source the following video cable
types are recommended to bridge the distance between video sources and the video module:
1. 75 ohm Coaxial cable - RG11 for cable lengths > 30m
a. Reference: FLAMEX RG11AU
b. Type: Marine Grade – Low Smoke, Halogen Free, Fire Retardant
c. Approval: ABS, BV, DNV, GL, LRS or RINA
2. 75 ohm Coaxial cable – RG6 for cable lengths < 30m
a. Reference: FLAMEX RG11AU
b. Type: Marine Grade – Low Smoke, Halogen Free, Fire Retardant
c. Approval: ABS, BV, DNV, GL, LRS or RINA
3. 75 ohm Coaxial cable – RG-59 for cable lengths < 10m
The above cables must be converted to a 15-Pin Male VGA Plug at the Video Module end using
a manufactured BNC to VGA cable assembly and possibly BNC F/F Unions in order to connect to
the Video Module input.
Note! Rutter Technologies recommends the above specifications. Alternative
cables may be suitable for particular installations. Contact Rutter Technologies for
verification before using cabling other than that specified in the table above.
