For those that may want to make a video cable, or in the case of the Armasight Zeus a power or video cable or combination cable, here is the pinouts:
I only have the full pinout for the Armasight Zeus, which also notes 'VDD', which is the Power In pin. Armasight comes with a cable that can be connected for 'Video Out' as well as 'Power In (VDD) (or referenced as VCC in most electrical markets) .
The Thor uses 3 CR123 batteries, the Zeus only uses 2. Therefore the Zeus is a 6v system. According to what Armasigh sent me, the input should be 4.7-6.5 volts nominal, therefore you want a 6v battery to feed the input. ATN doesn't offer an external battery like Armasight does, nor do they should a cable for it.
After putting a meter on the Zeus, they use Pin 5 for Ground on their video cable. Therefore if you want to add and external power source, use Pin 2 for Ground.
You can build a video cable for about anything if you know the connector type and how the pins are configured on the Video Input to that device.
Notice also on the Zeus there is a Video In connection, I imagine your DVR can display video on the Zeus screen.
This is a video cable I built for my Zeus to go in to the Ultimate Night Vision MDVR, nice thing about making your own cable is you can make it to the length you need, I used RG174U shielded coax for the cable, the shield being the ground and the center conductor as the video signal:
The ATN and the Armasight use connectors made by the Binder Corporation, here is the male connector plug:
