Camera End - Bluebell TDM-700 Series Operation Manual

Camera end:

TDM-700C, TDM-710C, TDM-720C and TDM-730C: plug the card into a spare slot in a Bluebell BC100,
BC160 modular rack unit or a BC120 triple-slot enclosure. Power is provided by the rack in these cases.
If using a BC101 or BC102 enclosure, fit the card and connect an external source of DC power via the
XLR4 socket. TDM-700CE stand-alone units are self-contained and merely require external DC power
to be connected,
Input Connections:
• Video (all versions): connect the camera's HD/SD-SDI output to this BNC socket.
Output connections:
• Genlock (TDM-700C, TDM-710C and TDM-710CE): this carries the genlock (or monitoring video)
signal connected at the GENLOCK input at the base end.
Bi-directional connections:
• Optical – on all plug-in card versions the optical port is a dual SFP port on a removable transceiver
cartridge. Use single-mode fibres to connect either directly to the base end, or to a break-out panel
to convert to ruggedised fibre. As at the base end, the transmission wavelength is 1310 nm, unless
the faceplate is marked to the contrary.
On stand-alone (CE) versions, the optical connector will be either a Lemo L3K or a Neutrik OpticalCON
(specified at time of ordering).
• Ethernet (TDM-700C, TDM-720C and TDM-700CE): This passes Ethernet data transparently to/
from the base location. Use Cat 5 cable to connect to an Ethernet-controllable camera (or other
device).
• Serial/GPI (TDM-700C, TDM-710C, TDM-730C and TDM-700CE): see the pinout table at page 8
for wiring details. Use this connection with cameras requiring RS-232/422 serial control.
Pins 7 and 4 should be connected if the GPI command and/or tally lines are to be used.
