Re: Type of HD SDI cable for mobile productions

Hey Stephen, long story short, I bought some RM-55's used from E-bay that were modified by TV Pro gear with a 9 volt battery and a resistor, since the 9 volts that would normally power it from the camera can't travel long distances. I am, as I speak rigging 3 of them together using a 9 volt power supply from Radio Shack so as not to burn through tons of 9 volt batteries. As for the cable, I was able to track down 200 foot lengths of (it's been a while I think it's just 6 pin PS/2 cable) that is also used for certain types of security cameras. I had also added 6 pin XLR's on each end since I didn't think the PS2 plugs would last long in a production environment. If anyone has more questions, just shoot me an E-mail and I'll give you more info once I get the whole thing working.
