Telecast Fiber Systems' CopperHead™ 3400 Receives Prestigious Best of IBC2010 Award
Next-Generation Fiber Optic Transceiver Mounts to Dual-Camera 3D Rig for Streamlined, Fiber-Based Transport of Stereoscopic HD Signals
WORCESTER, Mass., Nov. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Belden Inc. (NYSE: BDC), a global leader in signal transmission solutions for mission critical applications, today announced that its Telecast Fiber Systems brand has received a Best of IBC2010 award for its groundbreaking CopperHead™ 3400 fiber optic video transceiver. Honored by TVBEurope Magazine and The IBC Daily as one of the best product innovations of last month's IBC2010 show, the CopperHead 3400 is designed for high-end 3D cinema production and the first of its kind to mount directly onto a dual-camera 3D rig.
"The editors of TVBEurope and The IBC Daily have unique insight into the IBC exhibitor community and a very broad perspective on the most innovative products at the show – so it is a great honor that they chose the CopperHead 3400 for this prestigious award," said Steve DeFrancesco, vice president and general manager of Telecast Fiber Systems. "By supporting the full range of compact HD cameras and 3D rigs, the CopperHead 3400 provides a highly versatile and cost-effective solution for 3D productions of many types."
Mounting directly onto a dual-camera 3D rig, the CopperHead 3400 allows producers to harness the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of tactical fiber for transporting high-quality stereoscopic HD signals over long distances. The CopperHead 3400 transports all of the signals to and from two HD cameras, as well as the 3D rig's control system to the control room or truck, and also carries a return 3D HD/SDI signal back to the camera operator. The system enables not only full control of both cameras from the base station but also enables the convergence operator to control the 3D rig's interocular convergence — all over a thin, lightweight fiber optic cable.
"We asked the strongest combined editorial team in the business to identify the most innovative, cleverest new product introductions at the world's electronic marketplace," said TVBEurope editor Fergal Ringrose. "We were especially looking for new products that clearly show the potential to make money, or save money, for end users — rather than clever technology for technology's sake."
The CopperHead 3400 is available directly from Telecast Fiber Systems, or via a network of authorized CopperHead dealers.
