| Recording
Standards |
Versatile's
Standard configuration is for 1.5 GHz HD-SDI video signals, however, it
has the ability to work in a 4:4:4 3.0 GHz video environment
recording on Sony SRW series of recorders. There is no video
switcher available for this video standard. The Sony
HDC-1500, F-23 or F-35 with CA-F101 Adapter and CCU must be used for this
recording format. |
|
Camera Configurations |
|
Versatile has
three HDTV camera configurations:
CCU, Fiber Camera Link System, and Wireless.
|
|
CCU
Configuration
In CCU
configuration up to 5 cameras are controlled and powered via Triax or
SMPTE Fiber cables connected to Camera Control Units with Remote Control
Panels. Full paint, tally, video return, audio return, intercom,
etc. are included. Recording of the cameras is done through the use
of video recording devices in the truck. Cameras can be fed into a
switcher for multi-camera shoots and/or iso recorded.
|
|
Fiber
Camera Link System
configuration
In the Fiber
Camera Link System configuration up to 5 CamCorders, such as the Sony
HDW-F900R, Sony EX-3,
Panasonic HPX-2000, HDX 3000, HPX-2700, HPX-3700 are
controlled and powered using SMPTE Fiber cables. For most models of cameras,
in addition to power there is full paint, tally, video return, audio return, intercom,
genlock, timecode, prompter feed, etc. Recording of the cameras is most commonly done using the
CamCorders themselves for their iso feeds and recorders on the truck
record a switched feed if the Client orders it. This allows the
cameras to "breakaway" from the multi-camera configuration and
shoot independently and then reconnect and go back into multi-camera
configuration with minimal effort.
|
|
Wireless
Configuration
In Wireless
configuration up to 5 HDTV cameras are fed via full broadcast quality
microwave links to the truck to be switched and/or recorded on board or
distribution to other trucks. The wireless systems allow full
control of the camera, tally, embedded audio sent to the truck from the
camera, intercom, controlled by broadcast quality
microwave Transmission systems. Recording of the cameras is done
through the use of video recording devices in the truck. Cameras can
be fed into a switcher for multi-camera shoots and/or iso recorded. |
