Editec's new I-MOVIX UHD RF camera

The now industry standard Ultra Motion I-MOVIX camera has reached yet another milestone in its flexibility - hand-held RF operation.

This option is now available from Editec in the UK - using the very latest X10 UHD camera, I-MOVIX have released a simple but powerful interface module that enables both camera live and replay channels together with control data to be passed over standard camera RF links.

Steve Cotterill, Editec's MD: Presenting the signals for connection to RF equipment is only part of the challenge and a specialist supplier is required to achieve that goal. It was very important to us that we chose the right company to integrate our camera into the hand-held environment. Having worked on many OBs where RF cameras were being used, I was always particularly impressed with the solid performance of RF facilities provided by BSI so my choice of supplier was straightforward.

Broadcast Sports Inc. (BSI) is a leading developer and service provider of wireless camera, audio and communication systems and has partnered with Editec to develop an RF link solution for the I-MOVIX high speed video camera. This engineering achievement from BSI means that the high speed I-MOVIX equipment can be used without cables, and directors can place it anywhere there is RF coverage at an event.

The integration work carried out by BSI was excellent. Tony Valentino and his team produced a very neat back pack solution, the backpack containing all of the RF equipment and one of two batteries, the I-Movix interface module being camera mounted together with the second battery. The result is a true dual output hand-held camera will full camera controls - just as it would be with a SMPTE fibre connection.

Tony Valentino, Technical Sales Director of BSI commented: Our wireless implementation of the I_MOVIX system retains the camera's full capability with full camera control and remote replay functionality. At the heart of this new wireless system is BSI's own dual stream mini transmitter which provides the RF links for the live and playback video streams while a separate data receiver provides the link for the remote control features.

This latest addition enables Editec to offer its clients the entire range of I-MOVIX products.

Editec is proud to be the sole UK distributor for sales of the I-MOVIX high speed camera systems. The equipment is also available for rental from Editec along with skilled operators and engineers. Editec has been involved in the supply of high speed cameras to cover a great many of the top sporting events for all the major broadcast companies here in the UK and many abroad.

I-MOVIX is the worldwide leader in extreme slow motion for sports broadcast from 75fps to over 5,000 fps. I-MOVIX offers the first true ultra-slow motion solutions fully integrated for broadcast use, with an unprecedented combination of very high frame rates and instant replay with a continuous streaming option.

The I-MOVIX range of products have been designed specifically for extreme slow motion and have been received with great acclaim by both sports and commercial customers worldwide.

BSI, Broadcast Sports International, LLC, has a staff of over 150 people, a state of the art 55,000 square foot facility and 13 RF mobile units. From concept through design and manufacturing to turnkey service, they are always on the lookout to develop and integrate the next cutting edge technology, BSI has the knowledge and experience to deliver.
