Description

The TDM-700 system is designed to provide a compact, rugged and cost effective optical link between a remote POV (Point of View) Camera and an OB van or Control Room. The link provides an HD/SD-SDI feed from the camera and a reverse composite video feed for genlock or monitoring plus bi-directional RS232 and RS422 data for full control of the POV. A 10/100 BaseT Ethernet link is provided to allow control of IP based devices while a GPI path can be used to drive a tally light. All signals are multiplexed and transported over two fibres for easy installation or field deployment. The TDM-700CE remote camera end is supplied in a compact aluminium enclosure with a choice of connectors to suit both Studio and Outside Broadcast applications. The TDM-700B base unit fits in a single slot of the standard Bluebell 19″ rack frame allowing multiple cameras to feed into a central control room or truck. Alternatively, both ends can be supplied in the standard BC Series card format for cost effective transport of HD, composite video and data whether in a studio or flyaway. They are particularly suited for linking remote video servers to slow motion controllers with the Ethernet used for PC configuration of the server. TDM-700 links are available in multimode, singlemode, WDM and CWDM to suit any application.
