Bluebell Dual Channel 4K
The Dual channel Bluebell is a transmitter module for the conversion of 12G-SDI signals into fibre optical cable. The incoming signals are auto-sensed and then equalised prior to conversion and transmission down a single optical fibre. All Bluebell products are designed to retain maximum integrity of the signal path offering excellent jitter free optical transport. A loop out is provided for signal monitoring or distribution.
The kits are extremely compact single channel fibre optic converters that are perfectly suited to provide interference free transmission and for extending the range of electrical signals, particularly 12G-SDI signals.

Ereca Stage Racer
The Stage Racer product line is an ultra flexible solution to connect a stage to an OB VAN.
With the ERECA unique feature for on the fly direction configurable 3G-SDI channels and the numerous commodities signal transmitted along the videos, the stage racer is the product of choice for an affordable fast and easy event deployment.
All our Stage Racers are built in to bespoke 6U racks to utilise all signal functionality.
The equipment assumes transmission of a comprehensive set of signals as follows:
8 or 12 x video 3G / HD / SDI signals (direction configurable through built in web server),
1 x Genlock bidirectional (PAL image / Black burst / Tri-level),
16 x analog audio for intercom or broadcasting,
8 x Microphone pre-amp blocks
2 x Ethernet 10/100/1000Mbs (1 Gigabit trunk with 2 VLANS),
4 x Data RS 232/422/485,
8 x Contact closures.
4 x AES 3 bidirectional (Riedel panel compatible)
1 x bidirectional MADI (AES10) Signal (Shared with 2 of the 4 AES connectors).
For flexible setup the mechanical is declined in a 1U rack which fits everywhere and in a very rugged compact die cast aluminum box. This latter enclosure ensures excellent shock/drop protection along with dust and water resistant capacity for all “no fly case” applications. Links can be built between racks, rugged boxes or rack and rugged box.
All the signals are transmitted on 2 singlemode fibers. As an option, an optical cable failover is built inside the modules by adding a second connector. In case of fiber break the equipment automatically select the other cable.

Telecast SHED HDX
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 fibre for your HD, 4K and slow-motion camera links and in your venue/facility infrastructure, and eliminate bulky hybrid wire/ fibre.
SHED adapter shown with HDX camera power unit cables. Use two small adapters — one at your base station and one at your camera — and locally power your camera, or use the HDX unit to power the camera through the hybrid tail cable. With the SHED units you can support several cameras on one lightweight fibre cable.
Allows the use of conventional single-mode fiber cable
Uses common SMPTE ST 304 connectors for a hybrid link
Extends manufacturer’s distance limits of the camera/CCU
Supports Sony cameras
Built-in optical power meter
Cameras Supported: Sony 1500/1500R/2500/4300
