MultiDyne Video & Fiber Optic Solutions returned to the NAB Show New York conference and expo this week with two cinematic workflow demos that put a focus on the company’s product line allowing for remote use of power cinematic cameras for live multi-camera productions.
Demonstrations of its products at the Javits Center paired Sony cameras with signal transport and power extension products from several flagship MultiDyne product lines.
The primary demo showcased how MultiDyne’s Silverback-V 4K1 fiber camera adapters convert Sony VENICE 2 full-frame cinema cameras into live event cameras, applying the aura of cinematic storytelling to the more direct broadcast-style workflow that SMPTE studio cameras provide. The demo also featured a studio viewfinder for the VENICE 2 cameras.
SilverBack-V fiber transceivers are adaptable to any digital cinema or broadcast camera, and multiplex video, audio and data signals for multicamera 4K/UHD productions onto a single tactical or SMPTE hybrid fiber cable with remote powering.
“The SilverBack-V feature set was purpose built for the Sony digital cinema camera line up and it continues to evolve along with the latest cameras like the VENICE2 and BURANO,” said Jesse Foster, Vice President of Product Development at MultiDyne. “VB-APE FR7 PTZ camera transceivers combine the ability to customize the video, audio and data I/O to your exact requirements. The added benefit of using remote power puts it on the level of studio camera chains, which means content creators can support just about any kind of 12V/24V accessories required for the production.”
Foster added that MultiDyne’s JUICE-60 power supply can be added to the VB Series/PoE++/FR7 configuration to provide remote power over hybrid fiber in parallel to PoE++ powering over IP.
