Key	Component	Description
1	SIGNALLING	Provides RS232 control, dry red and green tally closure, and auxiliary controls to client equipment via a DB9 connector. Also allows the connection of BSI accessories, for example, a PTRZ joystick. Connector: 9-pin D-sub (F)
2	AES AUDIO	Provides balanced mono audio output, which is less susceptible to noise and interference. Note that balanced AES has a shorter transmission distance (up to 150 m) than the unbalanced version over coaxial cable. Connector: 3-pin XLR (M)
3	ANALOG AUDIO (L)	Provides analog stereo audio output to client-supplied equipment. Connector: 3-pin XLR (M)
4	ANALOG AUDIO (R)
5	10–36V 10 A	Use to connect the receiver to a DC power source. Connector: 4-pin XLR (M)
6	FUSE 10A T10AH250V	Fuse for the DC power supply system.
7	MAINS 100–240VAC 50–60Hz 5A FUSE 5A T5AH250V	Use to connect the receiver to an AC power supply. Connector: IEC Fuse for the AC power supply system.
8	Earth stud	Use to connect the receiver to the equipment rack or some other kind of electrical ground.
9	CONTROL/IP VIDEO	Camera control. Use to connect the receiver to a camera control panel either directly or via a network switch. Or use to stream or receive IP video through an Ethernet network connection. Connector: RJ45
10	AES AUDIO	Provides unbalanced audio output using a coaxial cable. Note that unbalanced coaxial cable is better for long distances than balanced twisted-pair cable. Connector: BNC (F)
11	MONITOR 2	Video outputs. Duplicate video outputs with overlaid status information. Connector: BNC (F)
12	MONITOR 1
13	SDI 2	SDI video outputs. Clean video outputs for production use. Connector: BNC (F)
14	SDI 1
15	ASI OUT	ASI (compressed video) output. Connector: BNC (F)
16	ASI IN	ASI (compressed video) input. Connector: BNC (F)
17	SYNC	Provides a connection to a client-supplied B&B or tri-level signal used to synchronize the video image. Connector: BNC (F)
18	RF1–RF8	RF input ports. The Real Freedom Receiver is available with up to eight RF input ports. Each port can be connected to a Real Freedom Downconverter using a standard coaxial cable. Downconverters are available in a variety of frequency bands. Choose the downconverters to match the frequency of the transmitter. Connector: BNC (F)
