JVC Professional Products and Telecast Fiber Systems, provider of fixed and portable fiber optic systems, have launched a new CopperHead ProHD KA-F790 fiber optic transceiver at the IBC2010 conference in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The camera-mounted transceiver is developed specifically for JVC’s GY-HM790 ProHD camera. The device can be directly connected to a camcorder and does not require any external cables.
The KA-F790 fiber-optic transceiver attaches onto the GY-HM790 camera by utilizing a 68-pin connector on the camera’s backside, enabling broadcasters to use the camera’s full studio capability in the field. The transceiver connects the camera through a tactical fiber optic cable or SMPTE hybrid to a control room or truck.
The transceiver concurrently transfers analog video and bi-directional digital and two-way camera control prompter, tally/call, sync, data, intercom, and audio and video signals between the CopperHead Base Station and the camera head.
The 1 RU Base Station can be combined into any portable flypack or mobile truck and connects directly into a facility’s intercom, router and switcher systems.
The CopperHead ProHD KA-F790 fiber optic transceiver will be available in November 2010.
