INTRODUCTION
RTS Systems, Inc. Model CIF612 Camera IS0
Electronics is the electronic heart of a special
intercommunications system. This system allows both
conference-line communication and special, isolated
point-to-point communication. The system consists of
Video Control Panels (the VCP6A or
128)
and user
stations, camera operator user stations, a Source
Assign Panel (the SAP1626), and the Model CIF612.
Up to 6 video control panels and up to 12 camera
interfaces can be used in the system. This special,
isolating capability is known as video IS0 or camera
ISO.
12
DESCRIPTION
The Model CIF612 is a rack-mounted card cage
containing 12 slots for the interface and switching
cards. Slots 2 through
7
are wired to accommodate
the CH612 dual camera interface circuit cards. Slots
8
through
13
are wired to accommodate the SW612
IS0 control/switch cards. Up to six of each type of
card may be used. The first slot on the right and left
sides of the unit are not functional. An extender card
is provided with each unit and is located in one of the
non-functional card slots. You may wish to order a
spare of each type of card and install them in the non-
functional slots to minimize interruption in case of
component failure. The front panel is hinged to allow
easy access. The reverse of the front panel is labeled
with all the circuit card adjustment information.
In a production or broadcast setting there are video
operators and camera operators communicating on
one or more conference-line communication
charnels. When a video operator wants to talk
privately with a particular camera person, the video
operator pushes a switch on the control panel (the
VCP6A or 12B) corresponding to the camera. This
action removes both parties from the conference
channel and places them on
a
completely separate
and isolated channel. Point-to-point communication
is now established between these two people and they
may now carry on a private conversation. Any
combination of up to 12 stations may be selected at
the same time. When the conversation is complete,
the video operator again pushes the camera button
and that camera is restored to the conference-line
communication channel.
An additional feature of this system assigns a
particular priority to each video operator's control
panel, either HIGH or LOW. In theory, any video
control panel can
IS0 any camera at any time. If
another control panel has already selected a camera,
the priority designation comes into play. Control
panels with the same priority assignment can share
the isolated channel, but the HIGH priority control
panel will "take" a given camera line from a LOW
priority panel.
Each circuit card features on-board power
regulalion
and filtering, and an LED which shows power status.
All active cards connect to the motherboard matrix
through gold plated card edge fingers on the back of
the card.
Level and balance adjustments for the unit are located
just behind the hinged front panel. The reverse side
of the front panel contains a legend explaining the
location and function of all of the controls.
13
POWER REQUIREMENTS
The Model CIF612 requires 14 volts AC or 16 volts
DC to operate. The unit is shipped with a power
supply which provides the necessary voltage.
1.4
CONNECTIONS
All connections to and from the CIF612 are found on
the back panel. The control panels connect to
50
pin
female microribbon connectors. Each camera's four
wire intercom signal cable connects to a 5-pin male
XLR
type connector. A 25-pin D connector provides
connection to the SAP1626 so that each camera may
be assigned one of the non-iso intercom
channels.

43.1
Safety Considerations
Although this equipment has been designed in
accordance with international safety standards, this
data package contains information, cautions, and
warnings which must be followed to ensure safe
operation and to maintain the equipment in safe
operating condition. Service and adjustments should
be performed only by qualified service personnel.
Any adjustment, maintenance, and repair of the
opened equipment while any power or voltage is
applied should be avoided as much as possible, and,
when necessary, should be carried out only by a
skilled person who is aware of the hazard involved.
Be certain that only fuses with the required current
rating and of the specified type (normal blow, time
delay, slow-blow, etc.) are used for replacement.
The service information presented in this data
package is normally used with the protective covers
removed and power applied to the equipment.
Energy
available at some points (within the power
supply) may, if contacted, result in personal injury.
4.4
ACCESS
To get inside the Model CIF612, remove the screws
on the sides of the back cover. Carefully tilt the back
cover down.
4.42
Cleaning
Clean the outside of the Model CIF612 with
denatured alcohol or a mild solution of detergent and
water. If required, clean the interior with dry, low
pressure
air.
The circuit boards can be cleaned with
1,1,1 trichloroethane or Freon TF. Do not allow these
or any solvents to get into the pots or switches.
4.43
Fuse Replacement
The Model CIF612 fuses arc found in two locations:
On the individual circuit cards and on the back of the
unit. Replace only with recommended fuse sizes:

ON
CARD
The CIF612 card frame has 14 slots numbered
1
through 14 running from left to right when viewed
1
from the front of the unit. Slots
and 14 are not
connected to anything and are only used for storage
The extender card is kept in one of these slots.
The card frame is protected by a hinged front panel.
Spring loaded catches lock the panel in place.
Release the catches and gently lower the panel to
reveal the card slots. The reverse side of the panel
contains a legend explaining the location and function
of the various controls for the CIF612.
33.1 CH612 CAMERA INTERFACE CIRCUIT
CARDS
Slots 2-7 are wired to accept CH612 camera interface
circuit cards. Slot #2 holds the card for cameras
and 2. Slot
#3
holds the card for cameras 3 and 4,
1
etc. Up to 6 cards can be used for a total of 12
cameras. When adding CH612 camera cards to
expand the system make sure to insert the new cards
into slots that correspond to their camera numbers.
Each CH612 circuit card has five multiturn trimmer
potentiometers for each camera on that card. These
controls govern level and balance adjustment for both
non IS0 channels (RTS
TW
or program channels)
and IS0 channels. The controls are located on the
edge of the circuit card facing the front of the unit.
The first 5 controls govern the 1st (or odd numbered)
camera, and the second set govern the 2nd (or even
numbered) camera.
On the bottom edge of each
CH612 circuit card is a
lamp which indicates the power status for that card.
When the lamp is illuminated, the card is powered up.
When the lamp is extinguished, power has been
interrupted. If all cards show power interruption,
check the fuse located on the rear panel of the frame
or check the 117 VAC main supply. If one card only
shows a fault, check the on board fuse for that card.
For safety replace all fuses with the same type and
rating.

switch board circuit cards. Each circuit card

#9

represents one control panel. Slot
circuit card for control panel
1,
for control panel 2, etc. When expanding the system
by adding more control stations (up to 6 may be
used), make sure each
SW612 circuit card is in the
appropriate slot.
Each SW612 control card contains a trimmer
potentiometer which governs the IS0 balance to all
cameras from that control panel. The pot is
numbered R145 and is located in the middle of the
front edge, just above the power indicator lamp. The
lamp which indicates power status works the same
way as the CH612 circuit card lamps.
Each SW612 card also contains the jumpers which set
the HIGH or LOW priority designation for that
control panel. Use the jumpers provided with the unit
to set priority for each camera on the card. After
setting priority, make sure to mark the priority
designation on the space provided inside the front
panel.

On the left hand side of the back panel is a terminal
strip with two screws marked CHASSIS and
COMMON. Connect the
AC/rack ground to the
CHASSIS screw. Comect technical ground to the
system COMMON screw. See Figure 2-2.
222 Power Supply
The Model CIF612 requires 14 volts AC to operate.
A 14 VAC
@
2 amp power supply is provided with
the unit. Connect the end of the power supply cable
to the power input jack on the back of the CIF612,
