This Registered Disclosure Document (RDD) describes a connector intended for use connecting a broadcast
camera to its camera control unit (CCU). This connector has been used in heavy-duty environments at
broadcasting facilities in Japan, other Asian countries and Central America. However, this connector has not
been used in the United States of America yet. When this connector starts to be used in the United States of
America in the future, the proponent will consider submitting it to SMPTE for formal standardization.
