Responding to the dramatic growth in HDTV sports and entertainment production, as well as the need for permanent HD and SD video links at broadcast facilities, Canon has introduced the Canobeam DT-150 HD, which provides reliable uncompressed two-way, high-bandwidth (HD-SDI and SD-SDI) digital video transmission for situations where fiber-optic cables or microwave links are impractical or impossible. The Canobeam DT-150 HD operates at 1.5 Gbps and transmits digital HD/SD video, audio, and control signals bi-directionally without delay via line-of-sight Free Space Optics at a distance of up to 1 kilometer.
- The bi-directional Canobeam DT-150 HD can relay embedded HD-SDI and SD-SDI video, along with embedded return video and audio to the camera operator, as well as camera-control signals, and robotic camera-control data.
- Canon’s exclusive Auto Tracking feature—standard on all Canobeam systems—which maintains precise beam alignment despite vibrations due to wind, heavy vehicle traffic, or unsteady camera platforms.
- Small Form Pluggable fiber interface. Connector: LC
- Can interface with either simple media converters for one-way/two way video transmission or SMPTE hybrid cable emulation boxes.
- Housing designed for outdoor or indoor installations.
- Offers management capability via SNMP.
- The Canobeam DT-150 HD’s Free Space Optics technology uses a beam of infrared light, which doesn’t require RF licenses or coordination, and is virtually free from interception. The Canobeam DT-150 HD’s sets up quickly and is simple to operate.
- DT-150 Fixed Installation Configuration - option includes the FA-100 Tilt Swivel Mount.
- DT-150 Remote Production Configuration -option kit includes Tripod Adapter Plate, LC to ST Cable Converter and ST to ST Couplers.
