Connectivity - More About Cables

Perhaps I am more interested in CABLES and CONNECTORS then I ought to be; however, as
our Collaboration Class progresses through more complex setups I respect man's development of this type of technical "workhorse" --the BNC and RCA connectors and their uses are described here: It is an alternative to the RCA connector when used for composite video on commercial video devices, although many consumer electronics devices with RCA jacks can be used with BNC-only commercial video equipment via a simple adapter. BNC connectors were commonly used on 10base2 thin Ethernet networks...

The next and more complicated set up Tom Beyer took us through was a more realistic video setup that would most likely be used at NYU for our part of the artistic collaboration project coming in November. Cameras' 1,2, &3 into audio distribution box of their own and then into video mixer 1, then into video mix 2 into vhs- and in this class, everyone gets the concept of "keep the numbers lined up" -in other words, if you have numbered the csmeras, then you number the inputs, and outputs to be consistent with the camera number
