Overview
The MultiDyne SilverBack 4K5 Camera-Mountable Fiber Optic Transceiver for 4K Quad-Link 3G Cameras captures images from SD to 4K and beyond, extending the range of any HD/4K camera system, reducing weight, and saving both time and money. The compact SilverBack 4K5 Camera Unit mounts elegantly to any Dual-Link or Quad-Link 4K camera seamlessly, with no angles or sharp corners.
The control panel's simple interface lets the camera operator easily monitor system link and signal status via a backlit blue-LED display that is not intrusive. Soft-touch buttons permit easy adjustment of audio and intercom levels. Two mic inputs feature pre-amps and phantom power, controlled via convenient soft switches. The levels are easily monitored with VU meters. The operator can trigger the intercom mic via a local toggle switch or via an external switch or button.
Ten standard, full size BNCs allow connection from the camera's four 4K Quad-Link outputs, an additional HD/ SDI path from the camera (for menus), VBS input and output, as well as return HD/SDI (3G) and genlock/sync. Two female XLR 3-pin connectors permit mic/line level inputs, with a 5-pin XLR for intercom headset, and a 3.5mm headset jack also available for Program/IFB to the operator or Talent.
NOTE: When equipped with the integrated "Juice" option (sold separately), no external power supplies are required; the rear battery plate can be used for back-up power.
The SilverBack family of camera-mounted fiber transport solutions now supports the "systemization" of any existing 4K camera, enabling users to broaden the range of their existing 4K cameras by converting any quad-link 4K camcorder to a 4K live camera, connected to a base station with a single fiber cable (sold separately). By routing all of the signals needed for multi-camera 4K/UHD TV production through a single tactical or SMPTE hybrid fiber cable, the system ensures robust, trouble-free connectivity in the studio or at a remote location.
