This article defines a procedure that enables a CCTV installer to obtain the best possible picture that any given Camera can send over Twisted Pair wires to any given Monitor. When the Camera and Monitor are connected together "on the Bench" with short wires, what
Getting more performance on a CCTV system usually involves at least two different parameters and usually two are at odds to each other, the more of one, the less of the other. The two parameters in this case are PICTURE QUALITY and DISTANCE between the
CARSON'S RULE:
A formula is used to determine the RF Bandwidth or occupancy for an FM signal. If you are designing an FM system on microwave or satellite, you will need to take care that your signal does not cross-talk into other signals on the system.
This graph illustrates the picture quality obtained when sending a CCTV picture through various lengths of RG59/U cable and the restoration of picture quality obtained by using the ACE472 at the monitor end of the system.
Picture quality can be defined by many different parameters, but the most important from an observed picture detail point of view is the LINES OF DEFINITION as observed on a Monitor. The larger the "number of lines" that can be distinguished , the greater the
The annoying horizontal bars that occasionally show up in CCTV video monitors are the result of load unbalance in 60 cycle power distribution in the vicinity of a particular CCTV system. As such they may exist in one CCTV installation, but not in another essentially
