Chapter 4: Operating the Equipment 4. Application note for wireless HD cameras 4.1 Introduction The typical cameras that were used today in the broadcast section are triax cameras which are used for wireless applications as well. Mostly the customers can not afford an additional HD camera with Battery mounts for wireless applications. As an example we take the Sony 1450, 1500 or 1550 camera which are the most frequent cameras in the broadcast section.
Chapter 4: Operating the Equipment Sony camera with Sony V-mount bracket attached Note The V-mount bracket for Sony cameras is part of the Sony viewfinder and not separately available! 4.2 Mounting instructions for CT6020HD on the Sony 1500 camera 1. In the menu of the Sony 1500 camera the user has the possibility to configure all connectors at the camera. Please configure the SDI connector in the cameramenu. Set the SDI connector to HD-SDI output.
Chapter 4: Operating the Equipment Please see below table for an example for HD video parameter: Resolution Frame rate 1080p 23,98 1080p 24 1080i 50 1080i 59,94 1080i 60 720p 50 720p 59,94 720p 60 Please write down the video settings which you get from the HD control monitor regarding resolution and frame rate.
Chapter 4: Operating the Equipment 2. Now fix the adaptor on the Sony monitor V-mount bracket. Push the adaptor into the V-mount bracket until it snaps in. 3. After you have fixed the adaptor on the camera you will have to connect the cables to the camera, therefore you have to open the back of the adaptor to be able to get access to the connectors. Press the little lever down and open the back door of the adaptor. Now you have free access to all the connectors on the back of the camera.
Chapter 4: Operating the Equipment 4. Now you have to connect first the cables at the camera and then to the transmitter First connect the short BNC video cable to the HD-SDI video output connector. After that, connect the remote cable (Hirose-connector) to the remote connector of the camera. There is a 4-pol XLR cable which is fixed at the adaptor, please connect this cable to the DC input of the camera as shown in the picture.
Chapter 4: Operating the Equipment Note This camera has no audio output connector, therefore you have to use an extension cable from the camera microphone to the transmitter on the backside of the camera 5. When you have finished connecting the cables to the camera please close the door of the adaptor, fix the two antennas on the transmitter and fix the transmitter to the adaptor. To fix the transmitter to the adaptor push the transmitter from up to down until it snaps into the V-mount bracket.
Chapter 4: Operating the Equipment 6. Now you can connect the cables to the transmitter. Connect the remote cable to the “Data”, (4pol Lemo), the audio cable from the microphone to the “Audio” (5pol Lemo) and the HD-SDI video cable to the “SDI” connector. 7. The next step will be to turn on the camera and the transmitter. Caution • Be sure that the antennas are fixed • Be sure that all the cables are connected Now push the battery into the V-mount adaptor until it snaps in.
Chapter 4: Operating the Equipment 8. At this point you have finished with the connections. Now you will have to set the HD video settings in the transmitter, otherwise you will not be able to transmit any video. At step 1 you checked the output video signal of the HD camera with its resolution and frame rate and which you have written down. Please make a note of these settings and configure the transmitter likewise.
