The HDCE-TX50 IP camera extension adaptor reduces the cost and complexity of remote production, simplifying connection and dual transmission capability for Sony HDC-5500/5000, HDC 3500/3100, and HDC-2500/2400/1700 series system cameras to an SMPTE ST 2110 IP network.
Easily carried in a flight case, the compact 1/3 rack width adaptor connects directly to a camera head in the field. Compliant with the SMPTE ST 2110 family of open standards, the HDCE-TX50 transmits signals from the camera head over IP networks to the Camera Control Unit (CCU) sited at a remote production center.
Support for leading IP intercom vendors including RTS, Clear-Com, and Riedel allows producers and directors to communicate in real time with camera operators at a remote venue.
The HDCE-TX50 also simplifies centralized allocation of equipment between multiple studios, control rooms, and machine rooms, allowing camera signals to be routed instantly over IP to another part of the facility without needing to reconnect fiber cables.
