MultiDyne SilverBack V 4K Camera Back Transceiver
MultiDyneMultipurpose Your 12G, 4K Camera
The SilverBack V provides a robust, full bandwidth fiber optic link between any 12G, Quad-Link or Dual-Link 4Kcamera 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. Ensuring robust, trouble-free connectivity on any studio or remote production.
The system can transport up to one 12G-SDI, two 6G-SDI, or four 3G-SDI signal paths from the camerato the Base Station and one return path the otherway. Full camera control is provided by the cameramanufacturer’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 SilverBack V Camera Unit mounts elegantly to any 12G, Dual-Link or Quad-Link 4K camera seamlessly, with no angles or sharp corners. The LCD display shows status and controls and is easy for the operator to see, but not intrusive.
When equipped with the integrated “Juice” option, you won't need any external power supplies; use the rear battery plate for back-up power.
Next Generation Base Station
The SilverBack V Base Station is a standard 2RU enclosure. With LED status indicators for each signal, and a color LCD screen that intuitively displays system status and general health. The base station is available in single and dual channel configurations. The unit also provides support for two standard width (2 slot) open Gear rear modules that can handle up to four cards.
MultiDyne Innovation
The system design is modular, so a system can be builtwith various types, amounts, and directions of I/O. A representative signal flow is shown. The SilverBack V incorporates the proven connectivity solutions of MultiDyne’s decades of experience outfitting production environments for OB vans and production control rooms. All this to create a finely tuned solution for 4K/UHDTV multi-camera production. Designed and built in New York.
