Remote Station Goes on Location Rental Station, a division of Media Distributors, has unveiled the Remote Station, an on-location post solution for turnkey video editing and storage management. The Remote Station consists of a road-ready, high-definition editing system secured in two Anvil-style road cases. Each Remote Station includes a high-end Panasonic SD/HD-SDI video monitor, Genelec reference speakers, a Mackie audio mixer and custom Apple MacBook Pros running Final Cut Studio 2. The detachable accessory-case lid features folding legs to form a comfortable editing desk for on-location use. “There is an increasing demand from our clients to deliver end-to-end solutions that bridge from production to postproduction,” says Steve Klein, CEO of Media Distributors. “Our preconfigured fleet of HD edit systems is great for local projects, but we feel like the Remote Station is an ideal solution for remote locations or for professionals head, auxiliary robotic devices, camera, lens and viewfinder. When the pan/tilt head is used with Telemetrics’ PS-RM48V power supply, cable distances between the control location power supply and the pan/tilt unit can be measurably increased. The unit is controlled through serial data using RS232 or RS-422 and also features multiprocessor architecture with flash-based RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) servo controllers. The PT-CP-S4’s newly designed cable-management system routes cables to the camera through the pan/tilt head, thereby preventing the cables from swinging freely or continually flexing with the camera’s movements. The head also boasts Telemetrics’ velocity servo controls for equally smooth preset motions and joystick control. End stops can be set either mechanically or electronically, and heavy-duty cross roller bearings and isolation-mounted motors provide quiet operation.
