Camera Base Station
Private data channels can be used for the transmission of
serial data via the triax cable. For example, electronic
scriptboard or character data for a video display unit can be
transmitted to the camera.
The tracker microphone intercom channel is used for the
data channel from camera head to Base Station. The
program intercom channel is used for the data channel
from Base Station to camera head. The input and output
signals are available on the auxiliary connectors of the
camera and Base Station (for camera see the connectors
and cables section). If a channel is used for private data,
then of course the original functions are no longer available.
To select the function of the Base Station to camera

Remember that the propagation-delay times are different
for different triax cable lengths, especially if a return signal
is involved. At maximum lengths of 2400 metres the total
delay is at least 25 µsec. and can be more than 30 µsec,
depending on the type of triax cable.
