Optional Components

Cabling

The cables provided connect the Main panel, Shot Box, and Video Pro-
cessor frame as shown in

Figure 34

. Power passes from the Main panel to

the Shot Box over this cable.

Note

When the fully functioning version of the Shot Box becomes available, the
RJ-45 port on the rear of the Shot Box will connect (via a 10 ft [3 m] cable
with RJ-45 connectors at both ends) to one of the Main panel Satellite ports.

Figure 34. Provided Shot Box Cables and Connections

Optional Satellite Panel Extension

If the Shot Box is to be placed more than 10 ft (3 m)

from the Main panel,

use an optional Satellite Panel extension kit, permitting installation up to
100 meters away. The kit consists of a Y-cable (to separate the communica-
tion path from the power path), a separate power supply, and two
adapters. A Cat-5 extension cable of the desired length is to be provided by
the end user. The Satellite Panel extension kit cabling replaces any existing
Shot Box cabling (

Figure 35

).

When the fully functioning version of the Shot Box becomes available, the
RJ-45 port on the rear of the Shot Box will connect to one of the Main panel
Satellite ports, and the 9-pin to RJ-45 adapter will not be used.
