With the right combination of devices and connections, you can view and control the camera’s image from the most convenient locations on your vessel.
The following illustration shows a very typical installation scenario. For more system configuration examples, ranging from small to large systems, refer to: Network connections
For an overview of the camera’s video connection options, refer to: Video connections
It is recommended that an HD video isolation transformer is fitted to camera HD-SDI connections. Failure to install an inline HD video isolation transformer may invalidate the camera’s warranty. For more information, refer to:
If you are powering a JCU via the separately-available PoE Injector (2nd Generation; 5 Gbit) (A80811), do NOT connect the power input labelled “VIN1+” on the PoE Injector.
Power connections are not shown in this illustration. For power connection information, refer to the instructions which accompany each device.
