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.
