MultiDyne Supports Next-Generation Video Experience With SilverBACK-4K Camera-Mounted Fiber Transport Solution 15 Apr 2013

MultiDyne , a leading provider of fiber-optic-based video and audio transport solutions for broadcast and pro A/V applications, today announced SilverBACK-4K , a powerful new camera-mounted fiber transport solution that supports 4K (Ultra HD) digital television. Utilizing SilverBACK-4K, users can seamlessly transmit any camera signal including Ultra HD video, HD-SDI video, audio, intercom, control data, GPIOs, tally, and power over a single hybrid copper and fiber cable. MultiDyne is announcing the SilverBACK-4K at the 2013 NAB Show during a press conference today and is demonstrating the product for the first time through April 11 at the companys booth, C10339.

As consumer demand for a superior quality viewing experience continues to grow, 4K video will soon be as ubiquitous as HD, especially for digital cinema applications, said Frank Jachetta, president at MultiDyne. SilverBACK-4K is a cutting-edge, camera-mounted fiber transport solution that enables camera operators to capture all the stunning video quality of 4K from a compact, lightweight, and flexible design that is also cost-effective.

The SilverBACK-4K is available in two versions: a feature-rich model with a video option for viewfinder or monitor viewing in the field and a low-cost model without the viewfinder/monitor viewing option. Ultra HD support can be added to any existing SilverBACK system through a simple upgrade, enabling MultiDyne customers to deliver a state-of-the-art 4K television experience cost-effectively.

MultiDynes award-winning SilverBACK transport system features an elegant, compact case measuring just over one inch thick with a simple, intuitive user interface. Ideal for digital cinema, sports, ENG, D-SNG, and multicamera studio applications, SilverBACK can transport SDI video up to 4K uncompressed with embedded or separate program audio. Users can achieve camera control/RCP paint functions through one of the three available data channels, and an additional back channel is available for camera sync or genlock. Several options are available for optical connectivity including STs, Neutrik opticalCon, Fibreco Mini 2 expanded beam, and Lemo 304M. A JUICE power supply can be added to support camera distances of up to 300 meters.

The SilverBACK-4K supports up to four channels of AES or analog program audio as well as a full-featured, single-channel intercom with talk and listen gain adjustments. Additionally, an adjustable PGM inject allows the camera operator to hear program audio mixed with intercom. To enable audio, a mic input with pre-amp is included for talent or camera-mounted audio needs, along with a talent IFB. The receiver features a standard 4-wire intercom output configuration with an optional 2-wire conversion. PGM audio is available for the talent or stage manager via a convenient headphone jack.
