4 PREPARING FOR OPERATION

EQUIPMENT PREPARATION
Before leaving the equi p ment base to undertake an operation it is recommended that the
following equipment checks be made.

4.1 The D-Cam Clip-On Camera Back

Check that the Camera Adapter is securely fastened to the camera.
Check that the batteries to be used are fully charged and that an emergency spare battery
is available and fully charged.
Confirm the correct frequency is selected 3.2.3.
Confirm the correct Encoder mode of operation is selected. 3.2.4
Confirm the correct Audio leve l is selected 3.2.5 & 3.2.6
Confirm the correct Video input type is selected. 3.4.3
If the camera is to be used with a cable-connected antenna, ensure that the cable is in
good condition, paying particular attention to the quality of the end connectors and their
assembly status. If extension cables are required, make sure that the cable connectors
are compatible, or that the necessary back-back connectors are to hand.
To enable the frequency to be checked without transmitting RF power the D-Cam Clip-On
can be powered up with the PA disabled.
To disable the RF Power Amplifier the C and ? are pressed as the D-Cam Clip-On is
switched on.

4.2 The Receiving Equipment

The receiving equipment produces two audio channels, analogue and AES3; an SDI and
composite video outputs. Audio and video cables of sufficient total length to connect
between the Receiver and decoder installations must be acquired. If extension cables are
necessary, ensure that the connectors are compatible and of good quality to avoid
problems at site.
Check that the receiving antenna/Receiver interfaces are clean and free from dust and
other unwanted materials.
If tripods are to be used to mount the equipment, make sure that some means of securing
the tripod or of weighting it down is provided. Gusty wind conditions may put installations
at risk, particularly when parabolic antenna dishes are to be used.
