MillimeterNew Camplex HD System for MiniDV HD Camcorders

Camplex Corp. will introduce a new product at IBC 2006, the new Pro-XHD camera control system. It is designed specifically for such miniDV HD camcorders as manufactured by Canon, JVC, Panasonic, and Sony that produce analog component video in HD format and have power requirements ranging from 7.2vdc to 8.4vdc. The new system uniquely converts the camcorder into a live HD camera capable of shooting live multi-camera productions in the studio, or in the field.
Using a single Cat-5 cable, the Pro-XHD's dockable camera adapter conveys the camcorder's HD analog component video to the production control center, along with SD composite video, operator intercom, and camera program audio. Delivery of the SD video signal allows the user to use a conventional SD (rather than HD) composite video monitor for preview. Over the same Cat-5 cable the Pro-XHD control unit simultaneously sends operating power to the remote camcorder, along with intercom and camera tally signal.
