HDX-Plus, Power Plus 2 & SHED

Flexible Power Solutions for Wide Range of Broadcast Cameras

The new generation HDX-Plus allows you to extend the distance between the camera’s CCU and HDX-Plus over fiber, and supply power from the HDX-Plus over SMPTE hybrid cable to the camera. The HDX-Plus is compatible with Grass Valley’s LDX range of cameras and Sony cameras. In addition, when HDX-Plus is used with Power Plus 2, it can be matched with any camera manufacturer when either an Anton Bauer or IDX power plate is available. Power Plus 2 replaces the on-board battery and provides up to 200W over 3 km (1.86 mi.) to the camera. HDX-Plus is compatible with SHED-BS when SMPTE power is required to be eliminated and converted to a fiber-only connection from CCU to HDX-Plus. SHED stands for SMPTE...

FEATURES

  • Allows the use of conventional single-mode fiber cable:
    • Infrastructure fiber
    • Tactical fiber cable

  • Extends manufacturer’s distance limits of the camera/CCU
  • Long distance range:
    • HDX-Plus to CCU distance over two fibers: up to 10 km (6.21 mi.; depends on camera manufacturer optical budget)
    • HDX-Plus to Power Plus 2 distance over SMPTE hybrid cable: up to 5 km (3.1 mi.) with power
  • Supports Grass Valley and Sony cameras
  • Supports any camera manufacturer with HDX-Plus and Power Plus 2 link

SHED-BS when SMPTE power is required to be eliminated and converted to a fiber-only connection from CCU to HDX-Plus. SHED stands for SMPTE Hybrid Elimination Device, and that is what it is. It is a small adapter that allows you to use ordinary single-mode optical fiber for HD (and slow motion) camera links and in venue/facility infrastructure, and eliminate bulky hybrid wire/fiber.
