Live-Link™ Jr. is a highly-integrated camera extender system optimized for electronic news gathering (ENG), uplink truck, and specialized broadcast applications. The portable camera end unit and rack-mounted truck end unit provide all the resources needed for a single-camera live event. Linked using just two single-mode optical fibers, the same excellent performance will be supplied whether the units are hundreds of feet or miles apart. Notable features of the Live-Link Jr. system include performance flexibility, support for high-quality on-air (program), talent cue (IFB) and intercom audio, and ease of use.
Truck End Unit Details
The truck end unit mounts in one space (1U) of a standard 19-inch rack. Housed in an aluminum enclosure the unit weighs less than 4 pounds (1.8 kg), making it perfect for mobile or "fly-away" applications. LEDs on the front panel provide a complete view of system operation, including an indication of the camera end unit's optical interconnection status. Standard connectors ensure fast, easy, and low-cost installation as well as rapid, straight-ahead troubleshooting. The connectors include BNCs for digital video, 3-pin XLRs for audio, and a 9-pin D-subminiature for data.
The truck end unit allows an AC mains source of 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz to be directly connected. The unit can also be DC powered using a 10-18 V source that is connected via a broadcast-standard 4-pin XLR connector. If both AC and DC power sources are connected the unit will be powered by the AC mains supply. Only if the AC mains source fails will a load be placed on the DC source. This allows a source of DC, typically a battery pack, to serve in a backup capacity. With this arrangement normal operation can continue even if AC mains power is lost.
