Questions & Answers▲
What cable length does the VZEXT-8/20 offer?
The extension cable is approximately 6 meters long, which corresponds to approximately 20 feet. This length is suitable for setups with a medium distance between the camera and the operating position.
What connectors are used?
The cable is equipped with an 8-pin connector on one side and an 8-pin female connector on the other side. This is the 8-pin connector type that is common for Fujinon and Canon broadcast controls.
Which controls is the cable compatible with?
The VZEXT-8/20 is compatible with Canon and Fujinon 8-pin zoom and Camera controls. It supports all devices from these manufacturers that use a standardized 8-pin connection.
Are the connections screwable?
Yes, the 8-pin connections are screwable. This ensures a secure fit and prevents the cable from being accidentally detached, which is particularly important for mobile camera setups or moving systems.
Is the cable shielded?
Yes, the extension cable is made in a shielded design. The shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and contributes to stable signal transmission between the controller and the camera.
For which production environments is the cable suitable?
The VZEXT-8/20 is suitable for live productions, events, studio setups separate operating position as well as for camera crane and jib systems. It offers practical use wherever the camera and operator work in separate locations.
Can the cable be used in moving camera systems?
Yes, the cable is robust and flexible and suitable for use in moving camera setups. The screwable connections support a permanently secure connection.
Can several extension cables be connected in series?
The plug-coupler combination makes it possible to connect several extension cables in series. However, whether the controller used supports a larger total length should be checked based on the manufacturer's information for the respective operating device.
What purpose does the extension cable basically serve?
The cable extends the connection between an 8-pin camera or zoom controller and the connected lens or the Camera. This allows the operator to be at a greater distance from the camera without having to forgo the direct control function.
Is the cable designed for permanent studio operation?
The VZEXT-8/20 is manufactured in a robust design and designed for everyday production. It is suitable for regular use in studio environments as well as for repeated setup and dismantling in outdoor productions.
What types of signals are transmitted via the cable?
The cable transmits the control signals of the connected Fujinon or Canon control unit to the lens, for example for zoom and focus control. It is purely a control cable that does not transmit any video signals.
Is the extension cable also suitable for jib arms?
Yes, camera cranes and jib systems are among the typical areas of application. Since the control is often positioned far away from the camera in such setups, a cable length of 6 meters is particularly practical.
