JVC FS-900 ProHD Multi-Camera Fiber Optic System

JVC FS-900 ProHD Multi-Camera Fiber Optic System

The FS-900 is a new camera mounted Fiber optic system designed for JVC's GY-HM890 and GY-HC900 camcorders. Built exclusively for JVC by MultiDyne Video & Fiber-Optic Systems, the system supports 3G-SDI 1080p/60 camera feeds and returns, and takes advantage of the camera's built-in streaming engine for video-over-IP functionality. The camera module connects directly to the back of GY-HM890 or GY-HC900 camcorder via 68-pin interface-no external cables required-for full studio functionality. It transports multiple bi-directional 3G-SDI signals as well as control, audio, sync, and intercom between the camera and the FS-900 Base Station.

Key Features

• Cost-efficient 2 or 3 camera studio configuration with single base station
• Supports 1080 50/60p 3G-SDI camera feed and returns
• Camera adapter design allows to use VF-HP790 or generic SDI monitors as studio VF
• HDMI / SDI feeds for high-quality HD teleprompters
• Gigabit Ethernet for Video-over-IP and web-based RCU
• Dual redundant power supplies
