Telecast Fiber Systems Shows New CopperHead DLV3X1 Camera-Mounted Dual-Link Fiber Optic Transceiver at IBC 2007 (23/7/2007)

The new CopperHead DLV3X1 camera-mounted fiber optic HD Dual-Link Video system converts electrical signals to fiber to move uncompressed 4:4:4 and 4:2:2 signals between the camera head and a recording device over just one lightweight, battle-rated fiber optic cable. By replacing three or four coax cables, the DLV3X1 not only reduces the bulk and weight of camera cabling, but also increases signal transmission distances from several hundred feet to as far as nine miles. The compact unit (3.7 inches by 5.5 inches by 1.75 inches) sits between virtually any dual-link 4:4:4 camera and its battery, enabling much greater flexibility, mobility, and efficiency in capturing and monitoring high-quality HD images.
