1.0 DESCRIPTION

The CamPac2 is a small lightweight HD/SD

COFDM microwave transmitter intended for

wireless camera applications including sports

coverage and electronic news gathering

(ENG). Its stylish, rugged machined housing

provides durability and excellent thermal

characteristics for operation in the harshest of

conditions. The transmitter can be mounted on

video cameras using integrated battery adapter

plates. Anton Bauer style plates are standard,

though IDX/Sony “V" clip may also be used.

The CamPac2 transmitter includes an

integrated MPEG2 encoder and variable

bandwidth COFDM modulator. This next

generation, high quality MPEG2 encoder can

be configured for HD and SD operation -or-

for SD operation only, while both versions

have an ultra-low latency mode for sports

coverage.

The encoder has the ability to be upgraded to

MPEG4/H.264. The variable bandwidth

modulator offers very high data rates through

efficient use of available bandwidth. Data

rates in the 20 to 50 Mbps rate can be

achieved in the robust QPSK, 16-QAM or 64-

QAM formats.

While the CP2 can be configured to utilize

COFDM bandwidths from 5-16MHz, the

6/7/8 MHz bandwidth modes are DVB-T

compliant to ensure compatibility with any

DVB-T standard system.

The CamPac2 accepts HD/SD SDI, ASI,

Analog Component and Composite video

input formats. The dual audio inputs can be

configured for mic or line input.

CamPac2 will also accept SDI Embedded

audio. The audio gains are easily set using the

programmable gain and the digital VU meters

displayed on the color TFT display. The

control panel uses a unique rotary dial that

senses the position of the user’s finger when

pressure is applied and rotated around the

disk. By dialing around the wheel and using

the (Esc) ▲and (Ent) ▼buttons, you can

navigate through the menu system.

The CP2 can be controlled remotely via RS

232/RS485 using a PDA or PC, and the

control panel may be removed and remoted up

to 100 feet away with an optional extender.

An N-type RF connector allows the CamPac2

to be used for applications where connection

to a remote antenna is required. For wireless

camera applications, an Omni-directional

antenna attaches directly to the RF output

connector, ensuring maximum EIRP

(Effective Isotropic Radiated Power).

The CP2 unit consists of a Base and a Power

Amplifier Module (PAM). The first

generation CP2 used an “IF” style interface

between the Base and PAM. The second

generation CP2 uses an “IQ” style interface.

Note: Earlier CamPac2 “IF” based units do

not support swapping PAM’s. “IQ”

based units do support interchangeable

PAM’s.

The RF function of the unit is determined by

the upconverter and amplifier installed in the

PAM. The unit is programmed with operating

frequencies and frequency ranges per

customer specification, allowing users to

customize their RF selections. The currently

available operating bands are (check with

Nucomm for availability of other bands and

PAM’s):

2GHz PAM: 1.990 - 2.700 GHz

7GHz PAM: 5.725 - 5.850 GHz

6.425 - 6.525 GHz

6.875 - 7.125 GHz

CamPac2 Description

M13-0003-00A 10

The “IQ” based CP2 can be factory configured

for either News or Professional use,

depending on the encoder style installed in the

Base. This configuration is not field

selectable or swappable, and the customer

must specify either the “N” or the “P” style

when ordering.

The News (N) style CP2 supports very low

latency operation as required by broadcasters

for live shots, with superb fidelity. The

Professional (P) style CP2 favors exquisite

fidelity over low latency, as desired for non-

live applications.

In an IQ based unit, the Base outputs a digital

IQ modulated signal. The PAM receives the

IQ signal and converts it to the final RF output

frequency

CamPac2 Features

M13-0003-00A 11

2.0 FEATURES

The CamPac2 was specifically designed for

portable use as a camera back transmitter or in

helicopters applications.

The CamPac2 features a fully adjustable

software modulator that can be re-configured

with multiple modulation formats in the field.

This is extremely important since, as new

modulation schemes emerge, the CamPac2

can be upgraded to meet customer

requirements as the customer’s needs change.

The CamPac2 has also been designed with an

integrated 4:2:2/4:2:0 MPEG-2 encoder, and a

COFDM modulator for multi-path tolerant

transmission/reception. Depending on the

video output or camera type, the CamPac2

accepts NTSC or PAL composite, component,

or SDI video.

Two physical audio inputs for a total of four

channels are selectable between standard

analog audio, and AES/EBU digital audio. An

embedded digital audio can be selected, if it is

present within the input SDI video signal.

Optional BISS encryption is available.

2.1 RF POWER OUTPUT

Depending on which mode the unit has been

set to, (in the System menu, under the Power

Control option), either TXPower Auto OFF –

or – TXPower Auto ON, users can choose

from the fixed Power Control settings, (25mW

or 100mW) – or – for special circumstances,

users can scroll through the rotary dial for a

flexible, variable output that runs between 0

and 51 (depending on the unit). For more

information regarding the set up of TX Power

Modes and Power Control Outputs, refer to

the Operation section.

2.2 PROGRAMMABLE OUTPUTS

The CamPac2 utilizes four programmable

presets to allow rapid selection of different

transmitter parameters. These are fully

configurable and can be modified via the

Front Panel sensor wheel and LCD menu

selections. For more information on Presets,

see the section in this document entitled,

Presets.

2.3 POWER SOURCES

The CamPac2 normally receives its primary

power from a “clip-on” battery. However,

located on the bottom panel of the CamPac2 is

a four-pin XLR connector for use with an

external DC power supply.

This connection is designed to add flexibility

in certain system configurations, such as

installation in vehicles or aircraft.

2.4 STANDBY OPTION

In the default state, the unit will output an RF

signal immediately upon powering up. It is

recommended that an antenna or terminating

load is connected to the RF connector.

The CamPac2’s RF output can be muted, via

the MAIN MENU/STANDBY selection. By

placing the unit in standby mode, the user may

safely replace antennas or tune the unit

without radiating any emissions.

When the unit is in standby mode, the LCD

will display “STBY” in the upper left corner.

When the unit is taken out of standby mode,

the LCD will display “TX” and the CamPac2

will output RF at the selected power.

4.0 INSTALLATION

4.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Unpack and visually inspect the unit for LCD,

connector, or surface area damage. All claims

should be filed with the carrier. Save all

shipping and packing materials for possible

re-use.

4.2 PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK

Connect the CamPac2 output through a 2-

watt, 20-dB attenuator to a spectrum analyzer

to observe the output frequency on the

analyzer display. After connecting a suitable

power source to the unit, turn the unit on. Set

the spectrum analyzer frequency to the

frequency of the channel being observed on

the CamPac2.

4.3 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

The CamPac2 comes standard with an Anton

Bauer Mounting Bracket Assembly. This

allows the CamPac2 and battery to be quickly

attached or removed from a portable video

camera. This design is ideal for field use.

Mounting the Camera

To mount the CamPac2 unit to a camera, do

the following:

1. Orient the CamPac2 Guide Pins (Figure 2

and 3) so that the antenna connector is

positioned to the top of the CamPac2.

2. Next, place the CamPac2 Guide Pins into

the corresponding camera mounting slots.

(See Figure 2).

3. Slide the CamPac2 onto the mounting

bracket until you hear the thumb-catch

lock. Ensure that there is no play between

the CamPac2 and the camera.

4. Screw the antenna onto the CamPac2.

Ensure that the antenna is secure.

5. Orient the Battery Guide Pins to the

CamPac2.

6. Slide the battery onto the CamPac2 until

you hear the thumb-lock catch. Ensure that

there is no play between the battery and the

CamPac2, (See Figure 3).

7. Connect the desired camera outputs to the

CamPac2.

NOTE: When setting up the CamPac2,

ensure that the Main Menu

selections match the physical

connections.

4.4 CONNECTIONS

Video:

The video inputs to the CamPac2 are either

through the 12 pin LEMO connector or a 75-

Ohm coaxial cable with BNC connectors (See

Figure 6). Connect the video source to the

appropriate video input:

HD/SD-SDI – For Serial Digital Interface.

ASI or Composite, Analog Component.

Audio:

The CamPac2 supports three audio types,

which are connected similarly. Analog and

AES audio connections to the CamPac2 are

through the two 5-pin XLR audio connections

(Figure 9) directly next to the video

connections. They are:

5 Pin XLR Audio 1 connector - Channel 1/

Channel 2 = MIC or line level.

5 Pin XLR Audio 2 connector - Channel 3/

Channel 4 = line level or AES

Embedded digital audio is input through the

BNC connector. This requires that whenever

Embedded is selected as the audio source, SDI

must be selected as the video source.

Power:

The CamPac2 normally receives power from

an external “clip-on” battery. In addition,

there is an alternate power input port available

on the bottom panel of the CamPac2 via a 4-

pin XLR external power connection (Figure

9).

Remote:

A micro USB Remote connector is provided

next to the bottom plate. This is used to

interface between the CamPac2 and a PC or a

PDA.

Terms & Definitions

16QAM (16 phase Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) A digital modulation

technique that combines amplitude modulation and phase shift

keying (16-phase-states) in sending data. This type of modulation

supports a transfer rate up to 14 Mbps.

64QAM (64 phase Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) A digital modulation

technique that combines amplitude modulation and phase shift

keying (64-phase-states) in sending data. This type of modulation

supports a transfer rate up to 28 Mbps.

AES/EBU (Audio Engineering Society/European Broadcasting Union) is an

older standard developed for transferal of digital audio signals. The

AES/EBU specifies a single cable in carrying audio data for both

digital left- and right-channels to a receiving device. Normally, a 3

pin XLR cable is used.

Composite Video A single analog video signal encoded with luminance (brightness),

chrominance (color), horizontal, and vertical synchronization

information, is preset within the signal.

COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) A type of

modulation scheme where more than a 1000 signals are generated

from a single signal, and transmitted at right angles to each other.

This is to reduce signal loss by a receiver due to obstructions and

reflections.

DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting -Terrestrial) An international digital

broadcast standard developed in Europe. DVB-T specifies a

bandwidth of 6 to 8 MHz per channel, while utilizing MPEG-2 video

compression and MPEG audio compression.

EIRP Effective Isotropic Radiated Power.

FEC (Forward Error Correction) A transmission technique that utilizes

error correction data being sent with the carrier signal for possible

signal re-generation by the receiver should errors be detected.

GOP (Group Of Pictures) A sequence of frames within an MPEG-2

stream to allow video editing and splicing from different signal

sources.

IDX Anton-Bauer Battery Clip

CamPac2 Menu Tree

M13-0003-00A 39

MPEG (Moving Picture Expert Group) A family of standards that utilizes

complex compression techniques to encode audio-video information

into a signal.

NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) A United States based

organization, which develops technical standards for broadcasting.

PAL (Phase Alternating Line) The European standard for video

broadcast.

PAM Removable, frequency determining module called the RF Power

Amplifier Module of the CamPac2.

PID (Package Identifier) Information located at the beginning of a

transmitted packet that tells the receiver what to do with the packet.

QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) A digital frequency modulation

technique where a single phase carrier is modulated into a four

phase signal, with each quadrant represented by a two digit binary

number. The signal is then transmitted and demodulated by the

receiver into frequency independent voltage levels.

SDI (Serial Digital Interface) A digital video format utilizing a 270 Mbps

(for Standard Definition) or 1.5Gbps (for High Definition) data rate.

The signal consists of a 10-bit, serial interface for both digital video

and four channels of embedded digital audio. SDI requires a

standard 75-ohm BNC connector and coax cable for connection to a

device.

Symbol A single Symbol can be considered one phase-state of a QPSK

signal. All four Symbols used together can be considered the baud

rate of the signal.

Transport Stream When several video and analog inputs are multiplexed into a single

data stream for transmission.
