Equipment for hire
ERECA Stage Racer
The STAGE RACER product line is an ultra-flexible solution to connect a stage to an OB VAN.
With the ERECA unique feature for on-the-fly direction configurable HDSDI channels and the numerous commodities signals transmitted along the videos, the stage racer is the product of choice for an affordable, fast and easy event deployment.
The equipment assumes transmission of a comprehensive set of signals as follows:
12, 8 or 4 video 3G / HD / SDI signals (direction configurable through built-in web server),
1 Genlock bidirectional (PAL image / Black burst / Tri-level),
16 analogue audio I/O for intercom or broadcasting,
2 Ethernet 10/100/1000 Mbps (1 Gigabit trunk with 2 VLANS),
4 Data RS 232/422/485,
8 Contact closures.
4 AES 3 bidirectional (Riedel panel compatible)
1 bidirectional MADI (AES10) Signal (Shared with 2 of the 4 AES connectors).
All the signals are transmitted on 4 single-mode fibres as the units are fitted with the redundancy option. A failover facility is built inside the modules by adding a second connector. In case of a fibre break, the equipment automatically selects the other cable.
Fibre4TV PanBox
PanBox is a field deployable throw-down fibre optic transceiver that converts SD, HD or 3G video signals. The rental stock includes an 8+4 and 4+2 version. Two Ethernet ports for Comms Panels, Router Panels, Data, etc are also included on each model
PanBox provides a robust housing with an optional handle and a 4-pin XLR power connector for a DC supply (included).
Per-channel LEDs indicate the presence of a signal, both at the send and receive ends. and a 5-24VDC operating range also makes PanBox suitable for battery operation. The Optical Connectors are standard LC, a fully functioning 4+2 unit requires 4 fibre strands, and the 8+4 requires 6 fibre strands - this gives a good level of signal redundancy for any fibre issues.
Telecast SHED
The SHED and HDX systems enable the operation of Hybrid-Cable-equipped High Definition (HD) cameras using only two singlemode fibers. Since the limiting factor of hybrid cable are the distances at which they can propagate enough electricity to power the camera, the SHED and HDX’s eliminate the copper and thus extend the total range of your camera chain.
The SHED and HDX are optically passive, meaning that the optical signals to and from the camera are merely passed through the system. The electrical signals are interpreted to both allow the CCU to recognize that a camera is attached and to safely allow the local powering of the caSHED and HDXmera. A audio, video, and data signaling in the camera chain is maintained.
Units are rack-mounted in pairs in an SKB 4RU Rolling Case
