Video contribution and distribution is supported across HD/SD with DVB and IP support. The new SuperRES system creates high quality image and video reconstruction from low resolution images, and will be demonstrated for the first time during IBC.
IDX continue to be the pioneer of professional Li-ion battery systems and power solutions for the industry's latest High Definition ENG, film, camcorder and digital SLR cameras. New for 2010 is the IDX Shoulder Stabilisation System, a uniquely versatile and universal system for stabilising hand held camcorders and digital SLR cameras. The system can be configured with voltage regulation P-V plates and DC cables so the camera can be powered from high capacity ENDURA V-Mount Li-ion batteries. The high capacity battery range includes the premier high load HL9 series, backed up by the established line of 68Wh, 93Wh and the 136Wh Dual Power Cartridge Endura Elite.
IDX have solved the problem of running high powered digital cinema and film production cameras in the field by introducing the EB-424L. The EB-424L is a portable power base station with four V-Mount channels which can accept up to four Endure batteries, or eight in PowerLink, to provide power. IDX PowerLink allows two E-7, E-10 or E-HL9 to be docked together to boost capacity which means up to 704Wh can be supplied when eight E-HL9 batteries are connected. For professional 24V film equipment, a LEMO output terminal is capable of supplying a regulated 24V of power, while there is also a 4 pin XLR available to supply 12V for video and lighting equipment.
The new A-HMR10K bracket is specifically designed to support Panasonic’s tapeless portable memory recorder AG-HMR10, and is intended for use with IDX’s A-MWR257 mounting bracket, which connects directly to a native camera V-Mount. The A-MWR257 provides a D-Tap output regulated to 7.3V so an Endure battery can run both the camera and the recorder simultaneously.
In addition, IDX will also be presenting the full line of multi-channel fast chargers, wireless HD-video transmission systems, LED on-board lights, 7.4V Panasonic batteries, power adaptors and accessories.
IDX Technology will be located at: IBC Stand 11.C21.
