Description
The CB-73 is a dedicated camera control cable designed to link Datavideo PTR series pan-tilt heads to supported studio cameras. It provides a single-cable connection that consolidates essential control signals for remote camera operation. The CB-73 is intended for use in broadcast and production environments where compact, reliable cabling simplifies multi-camera setups.
The cable carries zoom, focus, iris, and tally control signals through a single DC5.5-2.5 connector interface. Its 30cm length reduces excess cable in tight installations and helps maintain tidy cable runs on studio floors and field rigs. The CB-73 supports consistent communication between camera and PTR head to enable precise remote adjustments.
Technically, the CB-73 uses a DC5.5-2.5 style connector and measures 30cm in length. It is specified to operate within a 0~40 °C temperature range for typical studio and location conditions. The cable construction is intended for professional use and provides reliable signal integrity for control channels like zoom, focus, iris, and tally.
Connectivity is straightforward – the CB-73 connects PTR series pan-tilt heads to compatible studio camera models. It is compatible with cameras such as the Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Pro and Canon FX605, enabling those cameras to be controlled remotely by the PTR interface. The one-cable approach eliminates the need for additional adapters or custom wiring between camera and head.
Typical applications include multi-camera studio productions, location shoots using robotic heads, and any installation where remote lens and tally control is required. The cable simplifies setup for OB vans, broadcast studios, and small production facilities. Users benefit from reduced setup time and clearer cable management when deploying PTR-controlled cameras.
Installation is simple and plug-and-play with PTR series heads and supported cameras. The short 30cm length helps keep the connection secure and minimizes strain on connectors during camera movement. The cable’s durable build supports repeated use in professional environments and contributes to dependable remote operation.
