Component Detailed Description
Camera Unit Front Components
The CopperHead 3400 Camera Unit is shipped with a variety of Battery Mount to camera
types. The Anton Bauer mount and the Sony V-mount are the most common. PAG and
other battery mount systems are available by special order (please contact Grass Valley, a
Belden Brand or your authorized dealer).
Area C – Signal/Data Indicators
The CopperHead 3400 Camera Unit Indicator Panel has a series of LED indicators that
monitor the various signal paths between the Camera Unit and the Base Station.
For signals that remain constant, such as time code and video, the indicator remains
illuminated as a steady Green light. For signals that fluctuate such as audio, the indicator
will reflect the varying signal activity.
If the indicator is not illuminated, either the signal has been lost or it is not in use.
The indicators on the left side of the panel represent the status of signal paths from the
Base Station to the Camera Unit. The indicators on the right side represent the status of
signal paths from the Camera Unit to the Base Station.
