MultiDyne's 'Systemized'
RED Solution
M

ultiDyne Video & Fiber Optic
Systems has announced that its
SilverBack 4K5 transceiver, is fully
compatible with the RED EPIC (with 6K
DRAGON sensor) camera and REDCAST
Module from RED Digital Cinema.
RED's 6K DRAGON sensor eclipses
35mm film in both latitude and image
density, enabling customer to capture
HD/4K while simultaneously acquiring
6K raw data.
To accommodate the higher
resolution inherent with 4K, UHD
and higher resolution images, the
SilverBack 4K5 provides camera
operators with power and five 3 Gb/s
HD/SDI signal paths between the EPIC

camera and the
Base Station.
This powerful
complementary
combination
gives
camera
operators
a
highly
flexible
design that provides all of the
necessary communications, camera
control, tally, data and other functions
of a fully featured camera system.
It also allows the user to interchange
RED cameras with the same MultiDyne
SilverBack
transceiver,
enabling
signals to travel long distances over a
SMPTE fibre cabling infrastructure.

MultiDyne SilverBack 4K5 & RED EPIC

By putting power and five 3 Gb/s
HD/SDI signal paths between the
camera to the Base Station onto a
single tactical or SMPTE hybrid fibre
cable, the MultiDyne SilverBACK
4K5 system ensures robust, troublefree connectivity, regardless of the
application.

Helps Telefonica Raise Bar

pain's
Telefonica
Broadcast
Services has upgraded its HD OB
truck with a Calrec Summa console.

Luis Garcia Colombo, Telefonica
OB Audio Engineer, said: "We
produce events for almost all major
broadcasters in Spain,
as well as foreign
companies. Today it's a
soccer game. Tomorrow
it will be basketball. After
that we might broadcast
an opera.
"We have to be able
to manage any setup
our clients require and
guarantee
their
big
productions will go to air
with no problems.
"The Summa ensures
Telefonica Sound Operator Jose Maria Hernandez
we can do it in a way
with the Calrec Summa console

that only a broadcast-grade desk can.
We don't even have to think about
whether we'll be able to handle the
setup; we simply know that we can. It's
easy to see that it's not just an audio
console, but a TV audio console, and
that gives us an edge in the market."
The Summa's technology and
functionality make it possible for
Telefonica to handle larger TV
productions than ever before.
Summa's feature list - such as 128
channels, four mains, 32 tracks, an
oscillator, the number and variety of
inputs and outputs, and the Hydra2
networking infrastructure - boosts
the quality and reduces setup time
between productions.
