About digital triax transmission
Apowerful
In digital triax transmission, the following video delay in transmission may occur:
•The video delay in transmission between the camera and the CCU is approx. 9 msec to 12 msec.
•A delay of about 1 frame occurs on the viewfinder display if a camera image is sent back from the CCU to the camera as a return signal.
•The prompter video will delay approx. 5 frames in the standard mode. (For the prompter video, either the standard mode or the
•An appropriate delay is applied to the MIC 1 and 2 audio signals from the CCU according to the video delay.
•It takes a certain time until the video signal transmitted between the camera and the CCU becomes stable after power is applied. This is not a malfunction.
About the distances of triax transmission
The maximum and minimum transmission distances allowed for triax cable connection are shown in the table below. The distances may vary according to the conditions, such as cable degradation.
Allowable transmission range when using triax cables with the following characteristics:
3.8dB to 45.6 dB at 100 MHz (including the loss at connectors)
