Telecast Fiber Systems shows CopperHead INF Camera-Mounted Transceiver for Thomson Grass Valley Infinity Camcorder at IBC 2008 (28/7/2008)

New Products on Display at IBC2008

The new CopperHead(TM) INF camera-mounted fiber optic transceiver for the Thomson Grass Valley(TM) Infinity(TM) camcorder enables use of the Infinity as both a camcorder and an HD-SDI multi-cam production camera. The compact CopperHead INF sits between the Infinity camcorder and its battery, delivering bidirectional HD-SDI, composite video, audio, intercom, genlock, and camera control between the Infinity camera head and the remote base station over a single lightweight, battlefield-rated fiber optic cable. Optionally, SMPTE hybrid cable can be used if remote powering of the camera is required. The 1-RU base station integrates easily into any studio, mobile truck, or portable flypack and plugs directly into the facility's switcher, router, intercom, and house sync systems. In addition, the CopperHead INF system permits "iso-recording" on each Infinity camcorder's internal REV-PRO drive during multi-camera productions, allowing for additional post-production editing without the need for expensive studio-style recorders.
