MultiDyne SilverBack 4K5 Camera Back
SilverBack 4K5
The MultiDyne family of SilverBack camera-mounted transceivers capture images from SD to 4K and beyond, that extend the range of any HD/4K camera system, reduce weight and save time and money. The newest member is the SilverBack 4K5 Fiber-Optic System for 4K Quad-Link 3G Camcorders.
The SilverBack family of camera-mounted fiber transport solutions now supports the 'systemization' of any existing 4K camera. IT enables users to broaden the range of their existing 4K cameras by converting any quad-link 4K camcorder to a 4K live fully systemized camera, connected to a base station with a single fiber cable. By putting all of the signals needed for multi-camera 4K/UHD TV production onto a single tactical or SMPTE hybrid fiber cable, the system ensures robust, trouble-free connectivity, whether used in the studio or at a remote location.
- One RU Base Station
- Five 1.5 or 3Gb/s HD-SDI signals one-way and one SDI-HD/SDI Return path
- Two channels of audio
- RCP Control
- Two channels of Data
- Two channels of Intercom
- Time Code
- Tally
Multipurpose Your 4K Camera
The SilverBackTM 4K5 provides a robust, full bandwidth fiber optic link between any Quad-Link or Dual-Link 4K camera and your truck, control room or “video village” position. The system puts all of the signals needed for multi-camera 4K/UHDTV production onto a single tactical or SMPTE hybrid fiber cable, insuring robust, trouble-free connectivity on any studio or remote production.
The system transports up to five 3 Gb/s HD/SDI signal paths from the camera to the Base Station and one return path the other way. Full camera control is provided by the camera manufacturer’s control panel via serial or a 10/100/GigE ethernet path. Genlock, intercom, tally and audio paths are also provided. Operate on hybrid cable and provide power to camera or use lightweight, robust tactical fiber and power the camera locally.
Integrated Camera Unit
The compact SilverBackTM 4K5 Camera Unit mounts elegantly to any Dual-Link or Quad-Link 4K camera seamlessly, with no angles or sharp corners. The display uses high-intensity blue LEDs that are easy for the operator to see, but not intrusive. When equipped with the integrated “Juice”TM option, no external power supplies are required; the rear battery plate can be used for back-up power.
Next Generation Base Station
The SilverBackTM 4K5 Base Station is a standard 1RU enclosure with LED status indicators for each signal. As well as a color LCD screen that intuitively displays system status and general health.
MultiDyne Innovation
The SilverBackTM 4K5 incorporates the proven connectivity solutions of MultiDyne’s decades of experience outfitting production environments for OB vans and production control rooms to create a finely tuned solution for 4K/UHDTV multi-camera production. Designed and built in New York.
