Connecting the Camera System
Follow the instructions below to begin connecting the camera to the
system.
Note After connecting each cable to the camera, let it hang loosely behind the
camera. Then follow the instructions in
Cable Restraint on page 21 before
attaching the other ends of the cable to other equipment. This relieves undue
stress on the cables and allows the camera to move freely.
Connecting Camera Control Cables
• On the back of the camera block ( Figure 15 ), there are two cables. These
provide the camera lens, power, and video signals. The cables must be
attached for the camera to operate properly.
• Connect the 12-pin connector to the IRIS jack.
• Connect the 50-pin SCSI connector to the I/F REMOTE jack.
