BS-98 1409 VER1 (U) (E)
1.1 Features of This Product
BS-98 is the half-rack size base station that can con fi gure the 3G-compatible "Unicam HD" camera series and the multi format
system by the image circuit corresponding to the 3 Gbps transmission and 3G-SDI format.
The base station and the camera head are connected by the 8-core optical
fi ber composite camera cable (two single mode fi bers,
four power supply lines, and two control lines). It can be extended to the maximum of 1000m(*) by the optical serial digital
transmission method that is conformable to SMPTE425 (Level-B) [international standard] when operating the large camera head
and build-up unit.
* The maximum cable length varies according to the type of lens and the use of utility power.
1.1 Features of This Product
■
Transmission between the Camera Head and BS with 3G-SDI.
Transmission is possible between the camera head and BS with 3G-SDI. 1080 progressive scans of the camera head, the high-
de
fi nition format of 1080i RGB4:4:4, and the 2X speed images of the slow motion format can be output from BS.
When 3G-SDI format is operated, HD-SDI and DUAL-LINK can also be selected with the BS output. In addition, the simultaneous
output of 3G-SDI and HD-SDI is also possible.
■
Bidirectional HD-SDI trunk video line
The bi-directional HD-SDI (1.5G) trunk video line is standard equipment.
The bi-directional HD-SDI trunk video line can be used when the FA (Fiber Adaptor) at the camera head side is compatible.
Moreover, the trunk video (HD-QTV) from BS to the camera head also corresponds to asynchronous videos and asynchronous
embedded audio (4 ch). In addition, the trunk video can be used together with the conventional analog QTV (composite signal
trunk 2 ch).
■
Multi return video input
For the returned video input, inputs of four channels are possible with 3G/HD-SDI/SD-SDI automatic recognition. Each channel is
equipped with the frame synchronizer function; therefore, each channel corresponds to asynchronous signals.
The two-channel ACTIVE-THROUGH function is provided. Switching between the ACTIVE-THROUGH function and the four-
channel input function is possible by selecting in the BS menu.
* When the ACTIVE-THROUGH function is used, both BS and the camera head have the two return channel speci
fi cation.
■
Audio Signal Embedded in each SDI Output (Embedded Audio Function)
Audio signals can be embedded in SDI signals of the main output, PM output, and WFM output. Audio signals can be embedded in
HD-SDI signals and SD-SDI signals.
■
Remote Control to Support Network
In addition to the conventional Ikegami serial command (ICCP), controls by the network connection are also available.
By setting up the system that corresponds to ARCNET, a wide variety of operation formats including panel assignments become
possible. In addition, it is also compatible with systems corresponding to Ethernet, which allows wide expandability.
■
Front/rear panel Fulfillment of system interface function
The system interface function is more ful fi lled when compared to the conventional systems, and thus the system operability has
improved.
This system uses the module that is common to that of the full rack size camera control unit [CCU-980] in the same series as this
BS.
The display system, operation system, input and output I/O are compatible; therefore, the system construction performance,
serviceability, and operability improved.
The front panel is equipped with the ID No. display function. Recognitions of the corresponding camera and the network ID
became easier.
The rotary switches for easier access to the BS menu is provided to the front panel.
