TM-9250/TM-9660
The TM-9250A and TM-9660 feature both triax and coax connectors on the
camera adapter and base station to allow coax cable hook-up in case of a
break in the triax connection. Cable runs of up to 5000 feet are possible
using triax and up to 2000 feet with coax cable, using a local
power supply for the camera. Camera adapters snap on quickly and
dock directly, eliminating the need for adapting the triax connector
to the camera’s multi-pin connector. A 4-pin XLR power connector
allows for stand-alone camera operation.
Introduced less than one year ago, the innovative TM-9660 system
delivers both operational advantages of processing component video
signals and using triax cable. Processing and transmitting component
video in the studio and triax system prior to encoding results
is a substantial improvement of video quality. Recording, playback,
generating special effects, digitizing for transmission and video
switching are also greatly enhanced with component video. In addition,
component video simplifies the exchange of programming between locations, using different encoding systems such as
NTSC and PAL. The TM-9660 also features an optional Teleprompter Modulator that allows a teleprompter to be
hooked up to the Triax system.
FEATURES

Ikegami, Hitachi, Sony or JVC camera head becomes a
full-featured camera for both field production and studio
applications.
■ Permits cable runs of up to 5000 feet using standard
low-cost, easily repairable triax cable, or 2000 feet with
coax cable.
■ Video, audio, camera controls, intercom, tally and
genlock.
■ Provisions for mounting a studio viewfinder.
■ Serial data path for remote camera controls.
■ Serial data path for Pan, Tilt, Zoom and Focus controls.
■ NTSC or PAL configurations available.
■ Component video capability and optional teleprompter
modulator (TM-9660 only).

All systems are made to specifications supplied by the
users, to work with their brand of camera and CCU,
intercom and tally system.
Triax Cable
Triax cable feeds power to the camera adapter, camera, studio viewfinder and
lens (where applicable). In addition, it will also power the Telemetrics Robotic
Pan Tilt heads when used as part of the Triax system. Built-in safety feature
shuts the power upon disconnect, short circuit or open shield.
Camera Adapter
The triax camera head adapter replaces the stand-alone camera adapter and
CCU. Designed to electronically and mechanically interface with the camera
head, no changes are required to the camera, and all interconnections are made
through the multi-pin dockable connector. The adapter also includes connectors
for headset, microphone (XLR), and external monitor hook up.
Base Station
The base station features front panel adjustments for video, chroma gain and
horizontal and subcarrier phase. Program audio mix control allows the base
station operator to adjust the volume between the intercom and external
microphones that are being fed from a mixer, so that the cameraman listening
to the audio feed through headphones can tell the operator to raise or lower
the volume of the program mics. Cable and power supply fault indicators, as
well as Call/Tally indicators on the base station keep the operator and cameraman
in full control of what is happening during the shoot.
