control info

XLR

Identification: This is the male to female cable, which has three prongs on one side and three holes on the other.

Usage: It operates on three channels, which are common, left and right.

Features: Therefore, this cable can take stereo.

Jack

Identification: This is a jack and has the jack‐looking silver prong attached to a cable.

Usage: The females are plugs and receptacles for male jacks, connecting and creating a pathway.

Features: A black ring around the base of the silver point indicates a stereo jack.

*Additional info about the BNC cable: an extra piece of hardware can be used with this cable to split the signal. This is known as the BNC T‐piece. It is a T‐shaped device that you plug into the end of the BNC cable and it takes the video signal and sends it to more than one device (useful if you want to broadcast on multiple monitors).

The only drawback with this tool is that it increases the resistance thus making the signal weaker and the quality subsequently lower.

In order to fix this lost signal however, there is a tool known as a Distribution Amplifier (DA), which improves the signal. This can also be used over long distances.
