Audio path

The back panel of the camera has two connectors for audio microphones. The signals applied to these connectors are amplified and passed to the multiplexer/ transmitter section of the camera which sends them to the CPU via the Triax cable. The amplification factor of the audio microphone signals can be selected via the control system.

Phantom power is available for the audio microphones. The default value is +48V (refer to the installation manual for information on changing this value).

Intercom

Two intercom headsets can be connected to the camera; one for the cameraman and one for the tracker.

In the triax mode there are three intercom channels from the CPU to the camera. These carry the engineering intercom signal, the production intercom signal and the programme intercom signal. Two intercom channels from the camera to the CPU carry

the tracker and cameraman intercom microphone signals. The latter can be routed in the CPU either to engineering or to production via the intercom routing switch on the camera.

The tracker headphone receives the cameraman microphone signal, the production intercom signal, the programme intercom signal and either by default the tracker microphone sidetone signal or the engineering intercom signal.

The engineering intercom signal, the production intercom signal and the programme intercom signal from the CPU are all available for the cameraman headset. The volume of these signals can be adjusted and can be switched to either the right or left side of the headset. The tracker microphone can also be switched to the left side. The cameraman microphone sidetone signal is always present on the left side. The volume of this signal can also be adjusted.
