5. I/O 4.
The FCA IN 4 connection has been configured to provide and additional Viewfinder Output that can be used
for a large on board monitor/VF.
6. RJ45 Ethernet.
The DTS1800 Fibre system provides and Ethernet Link that can be used for Camera Control of the VLT by
connecting the supplied RJ45 flat Ethernet cable between the FCA and the VLT Ethernet port.
7. TC I/O.
Time code Input or Output can be set at the base station menu. If the BS menu option is set to INPUT then the
FCA Time Code connector will automatically be set to an output and vice versa.
8. VF/TALLY Connector.
The Viewfinder connector provides a composite video output (see RET/QTV below), Tally and 12V power
output for a viewfinder and accessories.
The DTS2071 GPIO Tally Monitor Unit supplied with cable can be connected to provide a front mounted Tally
Lamp if required.
9. REMOTE (NOT USED BY VLT FOR CAMERA CONTROL.)
The Remote connection between the Fibre Adaptor and camera carries RS-422 camera control data. This RS-
422 Serial Channel can be also be used for connection to other external equipment.
The Remote connector also includes a video cable as some cameras often have composite video available on
the remote connector.
The DTS system can also transmit a 625/525 composite video signal and so in the Setup Menu of the Fibre
Adaptor the composite input can be selected between this video connection through the remote port or the
MON BNC.
10. GENLOCK (VLT USES HD RET FOR GENLOCK/SYNC.)
The Analogue Genlock output can be 625/525 Black and Burst or Tri-Level. Format selection is automatic.
11. RET/QTV.
The RET/QTV connector can output a composite Video signal that is input to the base station. When no video
is connected to the base station a test pattern is generated and transmitted to the Fibre Adaptor.
However, when a monitor composite video channel is also present this output can be switched, using the RET
button on the FA, between the Live Video from this monitor input and the Return video input to the base.
Therefore providing a composite Return Video function for Camcorders where this is not available.
Additionally, it can also be configured to provide an HD-SDI output signal sourced from the HD IN for use with
an on board monitor or viewfinder.
This is useful when the system is used with a VariCam 35 and QL3G inputs.
