Learning Event 1:
1.
TV equipment must be connected in order to work.
Equipment requires
interfacing with other components to perform its designated tasks.
Cables are
needed to connect or interface the camera to the VTR, electrical outlet or to the
monitor.
2.
For every signal you want to run between two points, there are two cable
connections to be made. Generally one of the two wires inside the cable (fig 3-1a
and 3-1b), is the ground wire and the other is the hot conductor. The ground wire
is usually wrapped around the hot wire.
There is insulation to keep them from
touching (fig 3-1c). In order that the signal can flow from point A to point B,
the ground and hot wires must be touching the points where the signal originates
and where it is being delivered.
