The exhibition, located at Booth C1708, will focus on products aimed at enhancing production workflows and facilitating the tasks of film and television production teams.
The MEDIAEDGE QDCAM Remote Control System
A highlight of the show will be the introduction of Videosys Broadcast’s new Remote Control Panel (RCP) system, designed for the MEDIAEDGE QDCAM high-speed box camera. This system marks its first appearance in the USA and is engineered to simplify the deployment of the camera for 4K and high-speed slow-motion productions. The system, which is fiber-based for easy connectivity, integrates into standard equipment racks with software that automatically adjusts camera and control unit settings based on the selected format.
Colin Tomlin, Managing Director at Videosys Broadcast, emphasizes the enhancement of the MEDIAEDGE QDCAM’s usability with this new system. The RCP system and fiber connectivity address previous challenges such as complex setup procedures and non-weatherproof components, making the camera a more suitable choice for broadcast environments.
