The Cobham 8-way diversity system is our high end RF system designed for Live record applications.

Product Details

The Cobham 8-way diversity system is our high end RF system designed for Live record applications. With 8 antennas large venue coverage is not an issue. When set to low delay latency is at about 1 frame depending on camera format. This kit can be paired with our VideoSys paint system giving full control of your RF camera.

A small BWS transmitter with DTC boards and Anton Bauer plates are included in this package. The transmitter offers auto sdi input supporting all common frame rates. It accepts either embedded or analogue audio inputs. Phantom power and gain levels are included features for dialing in your microphone.

The ProRXD-2RU is a feature-rich COFDM receiver/decoder with DUAL receive and HD decoding capability in one enclosure. Designed especially for the demanding broadcast market, it is supplied in a 1/2 19” 2RU high rack chassis, where two units can be mounted together to occupy a 19” slot and uses standard broadcast connectors for signal interfaces.

The unit incorporates a very flexible decoding platform, with low-delay SD and HD MPEG2 and H.264 decoding ensuring compatibility with all DTC and most 3rd party encoders. An optional 2nd decoder can be enabled, allowing 2 x SD or HD signals to be decoded. Multiple video output formats are offered with composite and SDI outputs in SD mode and HD-SDI and in HD mode. SDI/HD-SDI each have embedded audio and HDMI outputs are supplied for operation with domestic TV’s. ASI in /out is offered optionally.

A full Genlock facility is available in SD and HD modes. When in HD mode, an optional downconverted SD composite video monitoring output is also offered.

A full On-Screen Graphical display is available for monitoring and diagnostics, which can be enabled or disabled separately on the two video outputs.
