Chapter 3: Options and Upgrades Reference Guide: CT6020HD Page 9 March 09 1. Introduction to the CT6020HD 1.1 Preliminary Remarks This manual is provided for users and operators of the CT6020HD Transmitter. It is intended to support the installation, operation, maintenance and daily use of the unit in general. The manual should be kept with the CT6020HD Transmitter and may be consulted when questions occur. Should problems remain after you have read the manual carefully or if you have any further questions concerning the functionality or operation of the Transmitter, please contact Customer Service. 1.2 Designation and P/N Designation CT6020HD Frequency range P/N 6.425 – 6.525 GHz 11.2456.000
Chapter 3: Options and Upgrades Reference Guide: CT6020HD Page 10 March 09 1.3 Description General Information on D-ENG (Digital Electronic News Gathering) The introduction of the DVB standard established the basis for digital broadcast video transmission making efficient use of the available bandwidth. Powerful compression algorithms allow a reduction in the amount of data to be transferred, while maintaining the high quality standards for video and audio signals used in broad-casting applications. New modulation techniques and error correction algorithms ensure a secure signal transmission even when the transmission conditions are poor. The DVB-T standard was established for terrestrial digital TV broadcasting, in particular considering the difficult conditions of radio transmission. The highly efficient OFDM multicarrier modulation procedure enables transmission without interference even under multipath propagation conditions occurring with non-directional transmission or reception. Practical experience soon has proved that the DVB-T standard guarantees ruggedness of transmission to an extent even allowing mobile reception. Increasing miniaturization, in particular of MPEG encoders and OFDM modulators, enables using the DVB-T standard for mobile portable transmission systems. Previous analog FM systems were adversely affected by signal reflections directly resulting in video and audio interferences. Such effects do not occur when the digital ENG system (D-ENG) is deployed. Even mobile transmission from moving vehicles or the use of omni-directional antennas on the transmitting or receiving side does not impair the picture or sound quality at all, opening a completely new range of applications in TV production and news gathering. Video Inputs The CT6020HD accepts only HDSDI and SDI information at the input: • SDI BNC(f) OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) Modulator The digital data signal for wireless transmission is processed by the OFDM Modulator and following IQ Modulator. The OFDM modulation procedure has a major impact on the transmission properties and was specifically developed for terrestrial radio transmission. User interface The integrated Multifunctional Display allows easy configuration of the device. The current Software and firmware version can also be displayed. Linear Power Amplifier The linear power amplifier amplifies the output signal of the Modulator to an output of about 200 mW (+23 dBm). The output port is located on top of the device.

Chapter 4: Operating the Equipment Reference Guide: CT6020HD Page 26 March 09 4. Application note for wireless HD cameras 4.1 Introduction The typical cameras that were used today in the broadcast section are triax cameras which are used for wireless applications as well. Mostly the customers can not afford an additional HD camera with Battery mounts for wireless applications. As an example we take the Sony 1450, 1500 or 1550 camera which are the most frequent cameras in the broadcast section. Caution • The original cameras have no mount and no support for batteries • Also we as BMS do not recommend screwing a bracket on a camera for a day by day use. Therefore we are trying to use original Sony brackets or for other cameras other original brackets which can support a adaptor for wireless applications Sony camera without V-mount bracket
Chapter 4: Operating the Equipment Reference Guide: CT6020HD Page 27 March 09 Sony camera with Sony V-mount bracket attached Note The V-mount bracket for Sony cameras is part of the Sony viewfinder and not separately available! 4.2 Mounting instructions for CT6020HD on the Sony 1500 camera 1. In the menu of the Sony 1500 camera the user has the possibility to configure all connectors at the camera. Please configure the SDI connector in the camera-menu. Set the SDI connector to HD-SDI output. Before you proceed to the next step, please make sure which kind of HD video signal you get at the output connector of the camera. The best way to check this, is to connect the programmed output connector of the HD camera with a HD-control monitor which will show the user the parameter of the video signal at the camera output. Note The HD video parameter of the camera has to comply with the parameter of the transmitter. Please check the output video signal before proceeding.
Chapter 4: Operating the Equipment Reference Guide: CT6020HD Page 28 March 09 Please see below table for an example for HD video parameter: Resolution Frame rate 1080p 23,98 1080p 24 1080i 50 1080i 59,94 1080i 60 720p 50 720p 59,94 720p 60 Please write down the video settings which you get from the HD control monitor regarding resolution and frame rate. You will need these settings later when you have to configure the transmitter, otherwise you will not be able to transmit a video signal!
Chapter 4: Operating the Equipment Reference Guide: CT6020HD Page 29 March 09 2. Now fix the adaptor on the Sony monitor V-mount bracket. Push the adaptor into the V-mount bracket until it snaps in. 3. After you have fixed the adaptor on the camera you will have to connect the cables to the camera, therefore you have to open the back of the adaptor to be able to get access to the connectors. Press the little lever down and open the back door of the adaptor. Now you have free access to all the connectors on the back of the camera.
Chapter 4: Operating the Equipment Reference Guide: CT6020HD Page 30 March 09 4.

After that, connect the remote cable (Hirose-connector) to the remote connector of the camera. There is a 4-pol XLR cable which is fixed at the adaptor, please connect this cable to the DC input of the camera as shown in the picture.
Chapter 4: Operating the Equipment Reference Guide: CT6020HD Page 31 March 09 Note This camera has no audio output connector, therefore you have to use an extension cable from the camera microphone to the transmitter on the backside of the camera 5. When you have finished connecting the cables to the camera please close the door of the adaptor, fix the two antennas on the transmitter and fix the transmitter to the adaptor. To fix the transmitter to the adaptor push the transmitter from up to down until it snaps into the V-mount bracket. Caution • Please double check that the transmitter is firmly attached
Chapter 4: Operating the Equipment Reference Guide: CT6020HD Page 32 March 09 6. Now you can connect the cables to the transmitter. Connect the remote cable to the “Data”, (4pol Lemo), the audio cable from the microphone to the “Audio” (5pol Lemo) and the HD-SDI video cable to the “SDI” connector. 7. The next step will be to turn on the camera and the transmitter. Caution • Be sure that the antennas are fixed • Be sure that all the cables are connected Now push the battery into the V-mount adaptor until it snaps in. After you attached the battery the transmitter will start automatically. If the camera is turned off please turn the camera on.
Chapter 4: Operating the Equipment Reference Guide: CT6020HD Page 33 March 09 8. At this point you have finished with the connections. Now you will have to set the HD video settings in the transmitter, otherwise you will not be able to transmit any video. At step 1 you checked the output video signal of the HD camera with its resolution and frame rate and which you have written down. Please make a note of these settings and configure the transmitter likewise. This is very important!
