ASIA-PACIFIC BROADCASTING

JVC Professional and Telecast Fiber Systems have released details of the latter’s new CopperHead ProHD KA-F790 camera-mounted fibre-optic transceiver and six complete fibre packages. Built exclusively for the JVC
GY-HM790E ProHD camera, it is the first CopperHead to provide a direct connection to a camcorder without requiring external cables.
Using a 68-pin connector on the back of the GY-HM790E, the compact KA-F790 attaches directly to the camera body and enables broadcasters to leverage the GY-HM790E’s full studio functionality in the field. It connects the camera via SMPTE hybrid (powered) or tactical (unpowered) fibre-optic cable to a truck, control room or “video village” position.
The system simultaneously transports bidirectional digital (SDI or HD-SDI) and analogue (NTSC or PAL) video, as well as all two-way camera control, audio, video, data, sync, tally/call, prompter and intercom signals between the camera head and the remote CopperHead Base Station.
The lightweight 1RU Base Station is easily integrated into any studio, mobile truck or portable flypack — and plugs directly into a facility’s switcher, router, intercom and house sync systems.
“Since its unveiling at last year’s NAB Show, the GY-HM790E has received rave reviews for excellent HD image quality as well as its versatility for both studio and ENG use,” said Steve DeFrancesco, vice-president and general manager of Telecast Fiber Systems. “And now, our new CopperHead ProHD KA-F790 makes it easy and seamless for GY-HM790E users to leverage the range, quality and reliability of fibre for their remote productions.”
“With the CopperHead ProHD systems from Telecast Fiber Systems, GY-HM790E users can have the convenience and performance of fibre on location,” said Noel Oakes, national sales and marketing manager at JVC Professional Products Australia/New Zealand. “The customised KA-F790 transceiver fits directly on the camera, which provides an elegant, reliable and streamlined fibre-optic solution.”
To address specific customer applications, JVC has packaged the KA-F790 in six complete systems that include tactical (unpowered) fibre cable, hybrid (powered) cable with SMPTE or OpticalCON connectors, and a choice of RTS or Clear-Com intercom modules.
