11. Camera Input Connector (CAMERA IN 1 - 8)
This connector accepts either a colour or B/W composite video signal from the camera.
In addition, the VD2 signal for synchronizing vertical
timing of the cameras, and data to control camera
site devices are multiplexed through this connector.
12. Camera Output Connector (CAMERA OUT 1 - 8)
The video signal connected to the Camera Input
Connector (CAMERA IN) is looped through to this
connector with an automatic 75 Ω termination.
The camera control signal multiplexed on the video
signal is not available at this connector. When
Power Switch of the Data Converter is turned off, no
signal is present at this connector.
13. VD/Through Selector (VD VS/VD (THRU))
This switch is used to choose the output signal of
the VS/VD OUT connector.
VD: Chooses the internal VD (Vertical Drive) pulse.
VS/VD (THRU): Chooses the looping-through sync
signals supplied to the VS/VD IN connector from
an external device.
14. VS/VD Input Connector (VS/VD IN)
Either the VS (Video Sync) signal or the VD (Vertical
Drive) pulse can be supplied to this connector for
synchronizing the system.
Notes:
• This input may be looped through to the VS/VD
Output Connector by setting the VD/Through
selector.
• When the VD (or VS) signal is supplied to the
VS/VD IN connector, set the DIP switch (SW2)
on the circuit board to the VD (or VS) position.
Initially, the DIP switch (SW2) is set to the VS
position at the factory. Ask qualified service personnel about setting up this switch.
• The external sync signal should meet with EIA
RS-170 specifications and should not contain
any jitters, such as a VTR playback signal.
15. VS/VD Output Connector (VS/VD OUT)
The internal VD (Vertical Drive) pulse or the loopingthrough external sync signal is provided at this connector for synchronizing other system components
by setting the VD/Through Selector.
16. Data Input Connector (DATA IN)
This receives the control data from the AD equipment.
Connect this to DATA LINE (High Speed Data Link)
on the AD equipment.
17. Data Output Connector (DATA OUT)
The control data connected to the Data Input
Connector (DATA IN) is looped through to this connector with an automatic 75 Ω termination.
18. Data/Code Selector (DATA/CODE, TERM
ON/OFF)
This switch is used to select Data or Code line.
When the Code line is selected, set the switch to ON
or OFF position to terminate the Code line input.
19. Code Terminal (CODE B/W/S)
This receives the control data from the AD equipment.
Connect this to CODE line (Manchester Code) on
the AD equipment.
20. RS485 Terminal (RS485 G/TB/TA/RB/RA)
These terminals are used to exchange control data
with the camera site equipment via RS485 interface.
21. Line Selector (RS485 LINE SELECT)
These switches let you select either Full Duplex
(4 lines) or Half Duplex (2 lines) for the communication lines.

(When using RG-6/U (5C-2V) or equivalent
cable)
Caution: Do not select ON position simultane-
ously for 3rd and 4th switches.

3. Install the Data Converter with the rack mounting
brackets in the rack by using four screws (not
included).
Cautions:
• Do not block the ventilation opening or slots on
the cover to prevent the appliance from overheating.
Always keep the temperature in the rack within
50°C (122°F).
• Secure the rear of the appliance to the rack by
using additional mounting brackets (procured
locally) if the rack is subject to vibration.
■ Mounting in the Rack
1. Remove the four rubber feet by removing the four
screws from the bottom of the Data Converter.
Remove four rubber feet.
2. Place the rack mounting brackets on both sides of
the Data Converter and tighten them with the eight
supplied screws (M3 X10).
