1.3 Compatibility
If you wish to control your camera locally, you can connect an OCP 400 to the RS-232
connector of the camera. When an OCP 400 panel is used with the DigiLink system, C2IP
functions (e.g. file management) are not supported by the system.
☞
Note
The LDK 5481 adapter is backwards compatible with existing LDK 5480 breakout boxes and
can be connected to them as described in the LDK 5480 User’s Guide.
1.4 Configurations
1.4.1 Digilink system SDI coax configuration
A camera head with an LDK 5481/00 adapter can be connected to the LDK 4700/00 base unit
using two coax SDI cables. The maximum length of cable that can be used is 250m (820 ft).
High quality coax cable should be used (for example, Belden 1694A). The DC power supply
for the camera is supplied directly to the adapter by an optional local power supply or by the
base unit (using a DC power cable).
