Anton/Bauer To Showcase Gold Spectrum At NAB

Anton/Bauer has revealed it will showcase its new Anton/Bauer Gold Spectrum™ Wireless Series at the 2013 NAB Show (Vitec Videocom Booth C6025).
A collaboration between Anton/Bauer and Vitec Group sister company Integrated Microwave Technologies, LLC (IMT), Anton/Bauer’s Gold Spectrum Series is comprised of the AB-HDRF Kit, AB-HDTX transmitter, AB-HDRX dual diversity COFDM receiver and/or AB Direct VU handheld receiver/monitor.
"With many of the solutions within the Gold Spectrum Series being utilized in the field already, we look forward to highlighting the benefits it can bring to production professionals at NAB," says Chris O’Neill, vice president of product management and marketing, Anton/Bauer.
"Whether they’re looking for the full kit or individual components, we encourage attendees to come and see how they can easily streamline workflows by integrating this compact solution into their kit. This portable system can really help bring out the creativity in a multitude of applications."
The AB-HDTX transmitter is camera mountable and features SD/HD encoding. It can deliver an RF output of 100 mW from a package that mounts between the Gold Mount®, camera and Anton/Bauer Logic Series® battery.
The AB-HDTX supports video and embedded audio transmission with selectable bandwidths of 6, 7 and 8 MHz, features H.264 SD and HD encoding capabilities and operates in the standard 2k DVB-T COFDM mode.
Another component, the AB-HDRX COFDM receiver, utilises maximal ratio combing that supports MPEG-4 video and embedded audio decoding. Designed for a new generation of camera-mounted HD SDI transmitters the AB-HDRX supports video and embedded audio transmission with selectable bandwidths of 6, 7 and 8 MHz.
In addition, Anton/Bauer’s AB Direct VU offers a compact, portable system that includes a handheld monitor with built-in receiver—also powered using Anton/Bauer Gold Mounts and batteries. The AB Direct VU displays COFDM video transmissions using a built-in, internal nine-inch 16:9 format screen.
For advanced functions such as changing frequency plans or unit naming, an administration software package is included with the AB Direct VU. The administration software package allows users to configure and store up to 16 custom preset configurations. These values can then be locked in place, providing simple and reliable operation. Additionally, access control ensures users will not inadvertently corrupt critical production settings.
