Miniaturized Matrix Routing for High-Density 3G Broadcast Backplanes

The Canare 75-Ohm DIN 1.0/2.3 Component series provides an advanced space-saving connectivity solution, operating as a specialized miniaturized RF ecosystem engineered for high-density terminal matrices, modular card frames, and uncompressed 3G-SDI digital video distribution. In high-throughput master control control rooms and OB vans, full-sized BNC panels take up too much vertical rack space. This compact DIN 1.0/2.3 configuration reduces the physical footprint significantly, allowing hardware manufacturers to mount dense arrays of video inputs and outputs onto single-slot PCIe router cards, video converters, and multi-viewer systems.

Secure Ball-Lock Engagement with Specialized Extraction Support

To withstand the daily wear and tear of active studio use, these plugs feature a snap-on ball-locking sleeve. Instead of requiring a full twist lock like standard BNC housings, the plug slides straight onto the receiver jack until the internal steel bearings snap securely into place. Because these ports are arranged in tight rows, fingers cannot easily reach the release cuffs. Technicians use slim mechanical extraction tools (like the BET-DIN or BET-D/H) to quickly pop free individual lines deep inside crowded rack configurations without disturbing adjacent signal channels.

Deep Component Selection & Mapping Breakdown

1. Straight 3G-SDI Crimp Plugs

Tailored to fit a wide array of precision solid-core and stranded broadcast coaxial lines:

• DCP-C25HD (Fits Canare L-2.5CHD / Belden 1855A / Marshall VDM230): The primary choice for short internal rack jumpers and high-density video distribution links.
• DCP-C25HW (Fits Canare L-2.5CHWS / V4-2.5CHW): Built with a widened internal entry neck to accommodate high-flexibility stranded mobile production cables.
• DCP-C3F (Fits Canare L-3CFB): Mid-tier solid coax core connector designed for general studio trunk patching.
• DCP-C4F (Fits Canare L-4CHD / L-4CFB / Belden 1505A / Marshall VPM2000): Optimized for standard-diameter digital lines, offering a perfect balance between flexible cable routing and low signal loss.
• DCP-C53 (Fits Canare L-4.5CHD / Belden 1694A / Gepco VSD2001): Engineered for long-run infrastructure trunk lines, minimizing high-frequency attenuation across extended studio pathways.

2. High-Density PCB Mount Receptacles

Chassis-mount sockets designed for space-saving component layouts:

• DCJ-LR (Right Angle): Low-clearance elbow receptacle that mounts flat against horizontal circuit boards.
• DCJ-LR/1 (Right Angle, Long Type): Features an elevated neck height profile. Pairing this model with the standard DCJ-LR creates a staggered row arrangement, letting rows overlap vertically to save valuable space.
• DCJ-FEM (Edge Mount): Slides cleanly over the raw board edge to route high-frequency copper traces inline with the board plane, minimizing return loss.

3. Inline & Format-Changing Bulkhead Adapters

High-performance conversion links for bridging legacy systems with modern high-density hardware:

• DCJ-JR (DIN Jack to DIN Jack): A threaded, bulkhead-mountable female-to-female barrel used to link mini-coax runs across panel barriers. Requires the NDT-DIN nut tool for tight assembly.
• BCJ-DCJ (Standard BNC Jack to DIN 1.0/2.3 Jack): A panel-mountable adapter used to feed standard BNC cable runs into dense DIN internal layouts. Fully compatible with Canare IU-7/16 insulation bushings to stop ground loop interference.
• BCP-DCJ (Standard BNC Plug to DIN 1.0/2.3 Jack): An inline format changer that turns any standard female BNC equipment port into a mini-coaxial DIN receptacle without adding extra cable weight.
