Description

The MSU-3500 master setup unit allows intuitive control and maintenance for the connected Sony HDC series system cameras.
Sharing the same compact vertical form factor and familiar ergonomics as the MSU-1500, the MSU-3500 fits a 9.5-inch EIA rack (half rack mount size). It can control multiple camera systems via either 1000Base-T LAN, or a single camera by direct peer-to-peer connection via Sony CCA cable.

Operability is enhanced via a new touchpanel with improved visibility plus additional LED indicators and assignable keys. The menu page gives direct access to camera, CCU and BPU functions for greater usability and expandability.

Further features:

  • Flexible, scalable system configuration. The MSU-3500 can be configured for use with large- and small-scale camera control systems, sharing the same mechanical dimensions and interface system as the MSU-1500 model. An MSU-3500 can flexibly control up to 96 HDC Series system camera units.
  • Customizable Switches. Functions and Menu can be mapped to the assignable keys via the Menu Control page, allowing quick and easy access. There are 3 assignable keys on the panel. This is available via SW Customize menu with the categorized items.
  • USB flash drive. The MSU’s settings can be saved or loaded via USB flash drive. CAM/CCU/BPU Scene files/Reference files can also be saved, and for the HDRC-4000’s HDR Production Converter Unit the All Setting file can be saved.
  • New LCD touchpanel. The large LCD touchpanel features a new 7-inch WVGA (800 x 480) panel with improved visibility.
  • High-speed LAN connection. The MSU-3500 supports connectivity via 1000Base-T Ethernet LAN in addition to a single connection by Sony CCA 8-pin cable.
  • Web UI application. Allows convenient remote operation for MSU initial settings from a remote networked PC with intuitive user interface (UI).*Feature available at a later date.
  • Status indication. By the Status key, the connected camera/CCU/BPU’s alert status can be indicated on the LCD panel if it occurs. Some of the setting status can also be indicated.

Sony HDRC-4000 Converter
The HDRC-4000 HDR production converter unit provides simultaneous real-time streams for multi-purpose 4K HDR (High Dynamic Range) live production as part of powerful Sony SR Live for HDR workflows. The unit can output a variety of video signals, including 4K HDR (S-Log3, BT.2020), HD HDR, 4K SDR and HD SDR, without loss. The compact 1.5RU chassis is ideal for operation in an outside broadcast environment. The AIR (Artistic Intent Rendering) Matching function faithfully retains the producer’s artistic intent to any distribution format while achieving greater workflow efficiency. The unit can also be controlled by the MSU-1000/1500 and RCP-1500 series remote controllers. Real-time conversion of both 4K HDR and HD HDR AIR Matching function to retain artistic intent across distribution platforms Enables powerful SR Live for HDR workflows PRODUCT MANUAL

Bluebell Dual Channel 4K
The Dual channel Bluebell is a transmitter module for the conversion of 12G-SDI signals into fibre optical cable. The incoming signals are auto-sensed and then equalised prior to conversion and transmission down a single optical fibre. All Bluebell products are designed to retain maximum integrity of the signal path offering excellent jitter free optical transport. A loop out is provided for signal monitoring or distribution. The kits are extremely compact single channel fibre optic converters that are perfectly suited to provide interference free transmission and for extending the range of electrical signals, particularly 12G-SDI signals. Dual Channel Inputs Single Optical Fibre Low Jitter PRODUCT MANUAL

Plexsis 4/4 Way 4K
Plexsis provides transport of 8 SDI (HD, 3G and SD) signals over a single optical fibre, and up to 16 when linking two systems, the Plexsis is available in two configurations (8 channels on one direction or 4 in both directions), with each of these available in the high or low wavelength band. All SDI ports are fully re-clocked, meaning that jitter caused by long coaxial runs will not affect the maximum optical run length and vice versa.The front panel OLED screen displays optical power, SDI signal presence, temperature and system voltages, and alarms can be set up to trigger an audible tone or relay contact closure, giving peace of mind when it comes to detecting and resolving distance, grounding and interference issues. 4/4 x 3G-SDI over one fibre Automatic cable equalisation Multi-rate re-clocking with automatic rate detection Both AC and DC power inputs provides flexibility and power redundancy Supports SD, HD and 3G SDI Wide DC input range 9-36V Full colour front panel display Optical expansion port PRODUCT MANUAL

Blackmagic 12G Dual Channel
Blackmagic Design Mini Converter Optical Fibre 12G - Bi-Directional SDI to Optical Fibre Mini Converter Optical Fibre 12G converts SDI to optical fiber and optical fibre to SDI in both directions at the same time, you can even have different video standards going in each direction. The 12G‑SDI connections are multi rate, which makes it compatible with all SD, HD and Ultra HD formats and equipment up to 2160p60, including Level A and B devices. You can install any standard 3G, 6G or 12G‑SDI SFP optical fibre module so you can send SDI using the same low cost optical fiber cables that are commonly used for computer networks.
