Camera Ethernet Connections

Each camera chain in the SilverBack base unit has a dedicated Ethernet path for the camera unit. These

paths are capable of 10/100/1000 Mbps operation and each contains an internal Ethernet switch,

providing two ports for connectivity at the base station. The use of Cat5e or Cat6 cables is

recommended.

Intercom, Tally, and GPIO Connections

Each camera chain in the SilverBack V base unit has a dedicated DB25 connector for intercom, tally, and

GPIO connections. This connector follows the standard pinout used by Sony and Panasonic CCUs and

supports 2-wire or 4-wire intercom systems.

Red and green tallies, as well as a GPIO in each direction, are provided. Tallies and GPIs expect a contact-

closure to ground to activate, and the GPO provides a contact-closure to ground when activated at the

camera unit. See pinouts for more details. Pre-made breakout cables are available for 2-wire and 4-wire

intercom systems.

Audio Connections

Each camera chain in the SilverBack base unit has a dedicated DB25 connector, providing a bidirectional

four-channel audio interface with the camera. These inputs and outputs may be configured as either

analog line level or AES on a stereo-pair basis using the System menu.

The audio DB25 connector follows the Tascam channel-numbering convention, designating the first four

channels as audio inputs and the last four channels as audio outputs. When using AES, only the odd

numbered channels are used. See pinouts for more details. A pre-made breakout cable to XLR

connectors is available.
