SR layback cabling solution.

Cottage Lunch · 14th January 2012

Hi folks,
Is there a more elegant way to make this connection?
I print 12 tracks to HDCAM SR at least once a week and my current cable solution is 2 x DB25 AES cables out of my 192 into 12 x AES-BNC 110ohm-75ohm adapters to 12 BNC cables.
This is ugly but functional.
I am sure there is a better way but I do not have the solution yet...
Is there a DB25 to BNC cable that integrates the transformer?
Thanks,
Brian

Perhaps a patch plate in the back of your rack with the x-formers integrated like TecNec Panels & Wall Plates AES/EBU Digital Audio Converter Patchbays Patchbays & Panels Accessories at Markertek.com

You could also get some multicore snake 75 ohm coax to bridge btw. the patch plate and the deck for simplification. In this scenario, you'll still have to terminate BNC at both ends.

I don't know if this is necessarily any better than what you're doing now. I take it the deck is floating and not in a machine room?

Yes, the deck is a rental,
I am headed toward 2 x 6 BNC multicore to tidy up that end of things.
