The Professional "Umbilical" for Mobile Studios

The Datavideo CB-22 is the definitive "All-in-One" cabling solution for mobile production units and OB vans. In a fast-paced live environment, running four separate cables to every camera position is a recipe for clutter and technical failure. The CB-22 solves this by bundling every mission-critical signal into one ruggedized loom. At 30 meters (100 feet), it gives camera operators the freedom to move while remaining fully powered and connected to the director.

High-Definition Video and Return Monitoring

Visual precision is guaranteed with the CB-22's dual 75Ω coaxial lines. The primary line supports uncompressed HD-SDI video transmission from the camera to the switcher. Simultaneously, the second coaxial line feeds a return video signal back to the camera's "Look Back" monitor. This allows talent and operators to see the program-out feed or their own framing in real-time, ensuring perfect shots every time.

Centralized Communication and Power

Stay in total control with integrated 4-pin and 5-pin XLR lines. The 4-pin XLR provides the "Phantom Power" or direct DC required to keep your camera running without local batteries. The 5-pin XLR line serves as the communication hub, carrying full-duplex intercom audio and the tally signals that inform the operator when they are live. This unified approach makes the CB-22 the essential backbone for any Datavideo-based mobile studio.

Rugged Reliability for Field Deployment

Built for the rigors of the road, the CB-22 features a high-strength outer jacket designed to withstand being stepped on or pulled across studio floors. The reinforced connectors ensure a secure mechanical lock, preventing the accidental signal loss that can ruin a live broadcast. Whether you are wiring a permanent house of worship or a temporary sideline camera for sports, the CB-22 provides the structural and signal integrity required for professional broadcasting.
