The CopperHead 3050 system provides a robust fiber optic link between a camcorder and your ENG or SNG news vehicle. The system simultaneously transports both digital (SDI or HD/SDI) and analog (NTSC or PAL) program video, plus audio, IFB, and intercom signals between the camera and the Base Station.
A 10/100 Ethernet path is provided for a remote link between a reporter's laptop and the truck.
The "Wet/Dry" Return Audio/IFB Output at the Camera Unit can be powered "wet" for direct connection to a reporter's IFB beltpack or switched to drive a "dry" audio line, such as one of the camcorder's audio inputs.
Since the CopperHead 3050 transmits all signals digitally and optically, you are assured of the highest quality video and audio—free from interference, grounding problems or drifting due to temperature variations.
The Camera Unit mounts directly to the camera's battery plate (Anton-Bauer or "V"-Mount) and provides for a variety of power options. The 3050 Base Station is a lightweight 1RU frame located in your truck.
CopperHead 3050 is your solution to the size, weight and transmission problems of ordinary bundles of copper coax and XLR audio cabling. You will save time and effort, and insure that your live shot or video production gets done fast, right, on time, and on budget.
