Broadcast RF Brings HD Refcam To IBC2014

News Image
Broadcast RF, provider of wireless camera equipment to the TV industry, is to showcase its latest RF systems for Outside Broadcast, featuring a new Refcam system that captures High Definition video yet is small enough to be head mounted.

The new system features a tiny camera with an HD-SDI output which feeds directly to a transmitter, making the system small and light and less power-draining.
Broadcast RF supplies this with full remote camera control so OB vision engineers can control the picture, exposure and colour matching from the van. The transmitter is a Cobham NANO HD which will operate throughout an entire match on one battery. The whole system is worn in a pack under the referee's match day shirt, and will be ready and on display at IBC.
Broadcast RF will also show their own new RF Fibre Extension System – a product that the company created because they could not find a commercial product that exactly fitted their requirements. It is used to transport the received RF signals distances of 500 metres or more, in situations where the receiver cannot be located by the OB truck. Consisting of a 19" rack base unit and a waterproof fibre remote adaptor box, there is not much to rig at the venue, and the system is powered by SMPTE fibre.
Also on show will be a brand new compact wireless camera system using the Sony PMW 500 camcorder. It features a new mounting bracket which carries a compact 1 watt power amp, the camera control receiver and the antennas, and is based upon the latest, smallest, Vislink L1700 transmitter. The camera control uses a compact data receiver to communicate with a large range of Sony cameras without an external interface.
