Premium Members Brant S. Fagan SOC Posted May 24, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 The CAE jumper is a super supple neoprene jacket that's custom built and is nothing like those yellow jacketed parts Peter speaks of. My CAE jumpers have always been gentle enough that I was happy even without using the TriAx to CoAx adapters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Osvaldo Silvera SOC Posted May 24, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Is Triax still used on a lot of everyone here's projects? I've encountered triax maybe 3 times in the last 4 years. Luckily all 3 times Rob has been nearby with his adapters! Most everything is Smpte now that I encounter.

Mikko Vuokko Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Must second the use of a Tri Ax jumper. Use the Tri Ax to Co Ax turnarounds and Mogami 2964 HD Coax. The neoprene jacket allows it to be very flexible and it has more copper than the very thin Belden. If an Engineer balks and throws the whole "Acceptable" crap at you, remind them that the camera will just shut down if the cable shorts. Nothing evil will happen. You won't die of electrocution. Please. In my experience, the ( usually yellow colored jacketed ) "Thinner Tri Ax Jumpers " are insanely stiff. YMMV. Best to all, Peter Abraham, S.O.C. Hey Pete,...thanks man, I'm gonna look into this...I'm waiting to see what I get that the "engineers" ordered and go from there. You know where I work, so you know what I have to go through. In any case, is this what I will need going from triax out of the camera and going back into a triax cable that'll lead into the CCU? As always Pete...thanks dude, Mikko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all studio. I'd love to break out and do something cool in the field, but, I'll probably need my own rig for that...working on it. You're down in Miami...right? I used to shoot a hell of a lot of stuff down on S. Beach when I was free lancing w/ my Beta gear from 94-'07. Very cool down there, do you need a dedicated camera assist w/ some film experience? I still have a place to live down there, and would make a move in a heart beat. Don't think I'm joking...D.C. is not the place for me, but, it keeps me busy. Cheers...
