Camera Interface Signal Paths
e FS-900 Triple Studio Camera Interface System is
a camera video, audio, ethernet and data multiplexing system that installs between three separate JVC
ProHD GY-HM890U video cameras and their power
sources in addition, each camera connects via a single
ber optic cable to a common Base Station in a truck,
studio control room, or other video production facility. All of the video, audio and data is sent bi-directionally between the Base Station and each camera
over three separate single ber cables, one between
each camera and the common Base Station.
e Camera Head Unit is attached directly to the
camera. e Camera Head unit is designed to allow
the majority of the signals that connect between the
Camera and itself to ow thru a 68 pin connector
internal to the Camera and the Camera Head unit.
e FS-900 Triple Studio Camera Interface System
consists of the two main components:
1. e FS-900 Base Station
2. e FS-900 Camera Head
