The CopperHead 3404 fibre transceiver takes the pristine and unrivaled image quality of dual/quad-link 4K cameras and delivers it into a multicamera environment for in-studio or outside broadcast productions. The CopperHead 3404 conveniently distributes all of the signals needed for multicamera 4K production using a single tactical or SMPTE hybrid fibre cable, ensuring robust, trouble-free connectivity on any studio or remote production.
COPPERHEAD 3404 KEY FEATURES
- All camera signals on one SMPTE hybrid fibre cable or lightweight tactical fibre cable
- Long distance range (multiple kilometers/miles)
- Four uncompressed 1.5 or 3 Gb/s HD-SDI signals from camera to base
