Evertz ECB-HD HD Base Station
This HD base station is part of the Evertz Camera Adapter system, which provides a versatile fiber-optic enabled accessory to several Sony HD and Panasonic HD camcorders.
There are three components to the system; each linked via fiber optic cable.
When the fiber enabled HD camera adapter (selected according to camera model and rented separately) is connected to the ECB-HD base station, the camera video is transported to the base over fiber and broken out to HDSDI video with embedded audio and time code, analog or AES audio, LTC, NTSC/PAL, SDI and IEEE-1394A downconverted video with time code. The base station has inputs for return HDSDI, NTSC/PAL, 4 channels of analog or AES audio, genlock, time code and IFB. The fiber also transports bi-directional RTS intercom, camera remote control (with viewfinder menus), and contact closure tallies.
