How to Connect Video Lanes?

Connecting a coaxial video cable

The present recommendation yields the best signal integrity as well as the best electromagnetic compatibility performance.

The adequate jumper configuration corresponds to the strapping involved when JumperL1 and JumperL2 are valued DT (Differential Terminated).

Refer to the following simplified electrical drawing.

This drawing shows that any analog video signal coming from the camera should be transported by means of a video coaxial cable. A possible choice is RG179.

The video cable and other control lines linking the camera to the board are preferably grouped into a single composite cable, equipped with an overall shield.

The overall shield should not enter in contact with the individual coaxial video cable shields. In other words, the video cables are externally insulated.

The overall shield is electrically connected to the camera body through the conductive camera connector. On the board side, the overall shield is connected to the HD15M conductive shell.
