Note: You should use a power pack to power the camera even if you are using a
FlashPoint ISA, FlashPoint PCI or FlashPoint 128.
• LNL-VKPW77A (Has been replaced by DPS060200-P5.)
• S-Video cable (# HOC-3652): Each end terminates in a 4-pin connector.
One connector plugs into your FlashPoint board. The other connector plugs
into your camera. A different cable is needed (as per the “FlashPoint Cables”
chapter of the FlashPoint User’s Manual) if you are using a FlashPoint board
other than a FlashPoint Lite PCI or a FlashPoint Lite 128. A different cable
may be needed (as per your camera user guide) if you are using a camera
other than the Hitachi VKC-77U.
• EHK-283 flash kit (Optional): (Has been replaced by EHK-K42U-A.) This
may not be needed for all applications. The EHK-283 kit is designed to help
eliminate shadows that may appear behind the subject that you are capturing,
or under the subjects chin (known as bearding). It is intended for abnormally
dark environments or conditions in which the lighting is constantly
changing. Most capture environments have adequate light to capture a
subject with the VKC-77U capture kit, but to enhance the colors (more real
life), and to eliminate shadows, the flash kit is necessary. The flash kit
includes the following hardware:
– Vivitar 283 flash unit
– VP-1 Manual Flash Adjustment Sensor: This replaces the Auto
Tyristor which ships attached to the front of the Vivatar 283 flash unit.
• Flash Sync cable (# HOC-3653): This cable is required for your FlashPoint
board to fire your Vivitar 283 flash unit. One end terminates in a straight
connector, which plugs into your FlashPoint board. The other end terminates
in a right-angled connector, which attaches to an adapter cable that plugs
into your flash unit. (The adapter cable ships with your Vivitar 283 flash
device.)
If you’re setting up a CCTV video station you need the following hardware:
• CCD Video camera: The camera must output video in one of the following
formats:
– RGB: The FlashPoint Lite PCI and FlashPoint Lite 128 do not support
this format.
– NTSC S-Video
– NTSC Composite
– PAL S-Video
– PAL Composite
• Video cable(s) and possible CCTV switcher: The cable(s) needed depend
on the model of FlashPoint board you have, the number of CCTV cameras
the computer is supposed to connect to and the video format being used.
Note: Although FlashPoint boards have multiple video inputs (the number
depending on the model of FlashPoint board), Alarm Monitoring stations are
configured to use only one FlashPoint video input at a time. Therefore, if a
monitoring station is to use multiple CCTV video cameras, the FlashPoint
board must be connected to a CCTV switcher (instead of directly to the
