Telecast CopperHead 3400 Wins Awards

Telecast Fiber Systems has announced that its groundbreaking CopperHead 3400 fibber optic video transceiver, specifically designed for high-end 3D cinema production, has received a Best of IBC 2010 award from TVBEurope magazine and The IBC Daily.
Chosen by the two publications' editorial teams, the Best of IBC 2010 awards recognise the best new product innovations of last month's IBC 2010 show in Amsterdam.
The CopperHead 3400 is the first product of its kind to mount directly onto a dual-camera 3D rig, allowing producers to harness the flexibility and cost effectiveness of tactical fibber for transporting high-quality stereoscopic HD signals over long distances.
The CopperHead 3400 transports all of the signals to and from two HD cameras, as well as the 3D rig's control system to the control room or truck, and also carries a return 3D HD/SDI signal back to the camera operator. The system enables not only full control of both cameras from the base station but also enables the convergence operator to control the 3D rig's interocular convergence - all over a thin, lightweight fibber optic cable.
The CopperHead 3400 is available directly from Telecast Fiber Systems, or via a network of authorised CopperHead dealers.
