GB-60 GROUND LOOP BLOCKER AMPLIFIER HOW TO PREVENT LIGHTNING DAMAGE IN CCTV. Protecting a CCTV system and it components from lightning damage does
Lighting Protection in the form of diode and gas tube lighting suppressors need to be installed at one end and maybe both ends of any long cable run.
This ground loop is created by the normal ground at the DVR or Monitor and the new ground applied by the lightning arrestors. This will look like blac

The term, Lines of Definition actually refers to the number of times the picture screen can be modulated (made lighter and darker) across the screen.
If it is a Tape Recorder, old or worn tape will play back fewer "Lines" than new tape. Even new tape of different types may show variation
Even greater distances of 8000' or even 12000' can be equalized by adding intermediate "booster" amplifiers and equalizers. These

DEPTH OF FIELD, WHAT IS IT? All lenses have a characteristic called Depth of Field. Depth of Field is a zone in front of the lens that is in focus.
Hand held focus meters such as the CM-2 Camera Master are also useful in determining the maximum focus of any scene. They are more accurate than lar
