Datavideo CB-31 Multi Cable 5p-XLR, 2×BNC, 2×RJ45 — 50m 4-in-1 Cable for Multi-Camera Control

The Datavideo CB-31 combines multiple signal paths in a single 50m cable to simplify multi-camera setups. It carries HD/SD-SDI video, composite return video, intercom/tally, and camera control over Cat-5/RJ45. Use it where a tidy, single-cable run improves setup speed and reduces cable clutter.

Key connections included

• 5-pin XLR for talkback and tally (ITC/Tally).
• Two 75Ω BNC connectors: one for HD/SD-SDI video and one for CV return video.
• RJ45 for camera control. The product title lists 2× RJ45, while the detailed description notes 1× RJ45 connector specified for use with RMC-180 or Ethernet control.
• All-in-one video cable set delivered as a 50m length.

What this cable supports

The CB-31 supports multi-camera operation with combined signal delivery. Specifically, it enables up to 1080i video transmission using HD/SD-SDI and provides pathways for return composite video and intercom/tally. It also includes Cat-5/RJ45 connectivity for camera control or use with the RMC-180.

Typical applications

• EFP multi-camera operation — ideal where several signals must reach and return from a camera location through a single cable.
• Mobile video studio setups that benefit from a consolidated cable solution for video, return feed, intercom, tally, and control.
• Setups requiring up to 1080i transmission over HD/SD-SDI.

Compatibility and repeaters

The CB-31 lists two compatible repeaters: VP-633 and VP-634. Use these repeaters where signal boosting or additional distribution is required, according to your system design.
