How a camera link works

What travels over the one cable

Out of the cameraSerial digital video leaves the head on SDI, HD through 4K/12G depending on the body.
Back to the cameraCamera control, intercom, tally, genlock and DC power return on the same hybrid cable.
At the truckThe base station presents SDI, control and intercom to the existing CCU, RCU, OCP or MCU chain.

An adaptor that only carries video is a link. An adaptor that carries control is a system. The difference is the protocol work, and it is the part buyers forget to compare.

Common questions

Before you send an enquiry

Do I need a full EFP system or just an SDI link?
If someone at the camera position has to be controlled from the truck, you need a camera fiber system with control. If the camera is locked off and set locally, an SDI-to-fiber link plus power is enough.
Which connector should I choose: SMPTE 304, OpticalCON or ODC?
SMPTE 304 for installed studio chains, OpticalCON for field work handled roughly, ODC where cables are mated daily outdoors or by people who do not own them.
Can the system carry my camera brand's control?
The adaptor is built around one camera family's remote-control interface: Sony, Panasonic, JVC, Ikegami or Datavideo. Tell us the body and the control unit and we confirm the pinout before shipping.
Do you supply complete kits or just the converters?
Both. Camera adaptor and base station are sold as matched pairs or as individual spares; converters, hubs and cables are sold as standalone units.
