The Long-Distance Backbone for Mobile Production

The Datavideo CB-24 is the definitive cabling solution for broadcasters who need maximum distance without the "spaghetti" of multiple individual lines. At 100 meters (328 feet), the CB-24 is one of the longest integrated cables in the Datavideo catalog. It streamlines the connection between your mobile studio and remote camera positions by bundling video, return monitoring, and communications into one ruggedized "umbilical" cord.

Bidirectional Video and Real-Time Cues

Visual coordination is seamless with the CB-24’s dual-BNC architecture. The primary 75Ω line supports SD-SDI video transmission (up to 1080i), while the second BNC provides a Composite (CV) return video feed. This allows the camera operator to view the "Program Out" signal on a "Look Back" monitor, ensuring they are always framed correctly and in sync with the technical director's cuts.

Centralized Communication and Power

Stay connected with the integrated 5-pin XLR line, which handles all intercom and tally functions. This single connection provides full-duplex audio for the operator’s headset and triggers the tally lights to signal when a camera is "live" or "cued." Furthermore, the CB-24 is designed to carry DC power (12V–48V), centralizing your power management and reducing the need for local batteries at distant camera points.

Built for Stadium and Field Demands

Production at the 100-meter mark requires specialized engineering to combat signal loss. The CB-24 utilizes 18 AWG wiring to maintain electrical and signal performance over its full length. For mission-critical stability, Datavideo suggests pairing this cable with the VP-605H repeater to ensure uncompromised video quality. Whether you are wiring a professional sports stadium or a large-scale festival, the CB-24 provides the structural and signal integrity required for world-class broadcasting.
