Premium Members Alfeo Dixon SOC Posted January 13, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Just curious if those Muxlab boxes contain signal boosters of any kind, or are they just simply junction boxes? Appears to be just junction boxes, the specs don't seem to have any indication of power input to amplify the signal. William is correct, no boosting Afton. cable from mixer > cat 5 > camera what type of adapter/connector to and from cat5? It would terminate in the appropriate XLRs at each end. Dual female XLR3s at one end, Dual male XLR3s at the other. No need for those junction boxes. The Cat 5 cable is the important bit, but it doesn't need to end in Cat 5 connectors. Afton, you got me thinking and I found this: http://www.markertek...nc/500027.xhtml If MuxLab made this with the Dual male XLR3s and the return for monitoring (as in this photo ) that would be a nice small and bare able set to have. But the bigger question is how many cameras could it work with... about 70% and I in!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members John atkinson Posted January 13, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Most of the guys I know have had a lightweight bundle made for audio, video, prompter and return audio to be able to record audio to camera on High end Field production. Mine is super lightweight on all wires runs from the camera to my hip where the heavy stuff connects. The bundle is no thicker than one standard BNC cable, yet it is very flexible. 2-XLRs for audio Audio return HD video line HD video line, prompter or spare video JA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Rich Cottrell Posted January 16, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Afton, I posted something like this a while ago. A few years ago I was working some broadcast NASCA events on HDNet... The audio guys would use cat5 and "binding posts" which where just what you were talking about, basically a XLR with posts to wire on the individual strands from the cat5. Each mic was on a "dry pair" At the end of the day, they would collect the mics and binding posts, and throw away miles Cat5. It was cheaper the renting miles of XLR cable. rich BTW: Cat5 makes great clothes line too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
