To which of the following would you connect a Cisco TelePresence PrecisionHD camera by using a VISCA
cable?
A.
a UPS device
B.
a Cisco C-series codec
C.
another Cisco TelePresence PrecisionHD camera
D.
a monitor or other video capture device
Explanation:
You would connect a Cisco TelePresence PrecisionHD camera to a Cisco C-series codec by using a VISCA
cable. A VISCA cable, which is an RJ45toDB9 cable, is used for camera control functions and also provides
power to the directly connected camera.
You would not use a VISCA cable to connect a Cisco TelePresence PrecisionHD camera to a monitor or other
video capture device. Instead, you would use a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) cable or a highdefinition serial digital interface (HDSDI) cable. Both outputs can be connected to the camera simultaneously.
You would not use a VISCA cable to connect a Cisco TelePresence PrecisionHD camera to an uninterruptable
power supply (UPS) device. Instead, you would use a 12volt direct current power cable.
You would not use a VISCA cable to connect one Cisco TelePresence PrecisionHD camera to another.
Instead, you would use an RJ11-to-RJ45 daisy-chaining cable. The RJ11 end connects to the daisy-chaining
port of the camera that is closer to the codec; the RJ45 end connects to the camera control port of the farther
camera.Cisco: Installing Cisco TelePresence PrecisionHD Camera – 1080p12x (PDF)
