2 Installation 2.1 HD-CCTV wiring for video inputs 2.1.1 Understanding HD-CCTV signals and wiring Even if EverFocus HD-CCTV equipment uses coaxial cable and BNC type plugs similar to standard CCTV technology - the requirements for wiring and cable types are some different. This chapter explains some basic facts for HD-CCTV signals and cable requirements. 2.1.2 HD-CCTV signal In result to the high resolution and uncompressed image transmission from the camera high frequencies

Well known signal parts such as Sync, Burst and others do not exist here. The high frequencies do not allow a signal evaluation by standard oscilloscopes or other standard video measurement tools. Only quite expensive HD-SDI analyzers and upscale HF - oscilloscopes could be used here. In most cases such equipment is not available at installation site. For this reason a careful specification of the cable type is mandatory for system planning, especially in applications with long cable dis

2.1.4 Cable installation Please make sure, that the coaxial cable is not squeezed at any position. Also the max. bending radius defined by the cable manufacturer should be considered. General rule: maximum bending radius = 10 x outer cable diameter Bending creates pressure on the center conductor, causing it to move through the dielectric toward the inside of the bend. This affects impedance and return loss and reduces the maximum possible cable length. Please try to avoid any
