MultiDyne Video & Fibre Optic Systems, a premier provider of fibre optic video and audio transports and routing solutions for broadcast and pro A/V applications, expanded its field acquisition product line with the introduction at NAB of the SilverBACK, a cost-effective, compact fiber interface that mounts directly to the back of an ENG/EFP camera.
HD programme video with return HD/SD view finder video, camera control, PL intercom and tally makes the SilverBACK the ideal choice to add to the user’s system for operation over fibre.
The industry-recognised MultiDyne LiGHTBoX field acquisition products provided the impetus to take the next step into camera transport interfaces, according to MultiDyne’s MD Frank Jachetta. “We have always wanted to close the loop and provide camera-mounted fibre transceivers to allow our customers to select the variation of fibre communications they require.’
The SilverBACK can be linked with the dual Neutrik Opticalcon to the LiGHTBoX, the HalfCuBE or a standard 19′, 1RU rack mount panel. The camera mounted transceiver will operate on DC battery power or a local AC power supply.
MultiDyne is represented in South Africa by Zimele Broadcasting Services.
