The Professional Multi-Signal Umbilical

The Datavideo CB-23H is the essential backbone for professional mobile production units and OB vans. When a standard 30-meter run isn't enough to reach your distant camera positions, the CB-23H provides 50 meters (164 feet) of uncompromised signal path. By bundling every mission-critical signal—video, return video, power, and communications—into one ruggedized jacket, the CB-23H ensures a cleaner, safer, and faster setup for every live event.

Bidirectional Video and Real-Time Feedback

Visual precision is guaranteed with dual 75Ω coaxial lines. The primary line carries high-bitrate HD-SDI video from the camera to the switcher, while the second line feeds a return video signal back to the operator’s "Look Back" monitor. This real-time feedback is critical for talent cues and framing adjustments, ensuring the camera operator is always in sync with the director's vision, even from the opposite end of a large venue.

Centralized Control and Power Management

The CB-23H transforms any remote camera into a fully integrated studio unit. The 4-pin XLR line provides "Phantom Power" or direct DC to the camera, centralizing your power management at the control desk. Simultaneously, the 5-pin XLR line handles all communication needs, including full-duplex intercom audio and the tally signals that inform the operator when they are live. This unified approach makes the CB-23H the definitive choice for Datavideo-based mobile studios and high-end video switchers.

Built for the Rigors of the Road

Production environments are often demanding, and the CB-23H is engineered to survive. Its heavy-duty outer jacket is designed for repeated deployment, coiling, and high-traffic studio use. 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 outdoor festival, the CB-23H provides the structural and signal integrity required for mission-critical broadcasting.
