RAMSEY, NJ — Red Digital Cinema is partnering with New Jersey-based Samaserve (www.niprosam.com) to present a live 4K demonstration at the IBC show in Amsterdam on Saturday, September 13th. The “One Camera, 6K Digital Stills & Motion, 4K Broadcast?” session will take place between 10:00am and 11:30am at the RAI Auditorium and will illustrate how Red’s 6K Dragon sensor can support live, 3840 x 2160 resolution broadcasts.
The live 4K broadcast will include realtime graphics from Vizrt, while simultaneously capturing 6K R3D RAW (4096 x 2160 resolution) masters. Samaserve’s Nipros LS-750GT and LS 750 camera-mounted fiber adapter system will be used as a part of the live 4K production demonstration. The Nipros LS-750GT fiber adapter system will facilitate the transmission of compressed and uncompressed, up to 4K, video from a Red Epic Dragon Cinema Camera to the RAI Convention Center’s main auditorium over fiber-optic cable. The Dragon will also provide live 4K feeds produced at the Vizrt booth “Virtual Studio” set throughout the show
“We needed a comprehensive camera system capable of flawlessly transmitting uncompressed 4K and HD signals simultaneously for display on a large, high-res screen,” says Jarred Land, president of Red Digital Cinema. “The specs on the Nipros System meet all of our requirements, and we are very pleased to be using it as part of our series of IBC demos.”
The flagship Nipros LS-750/GT camera-mounted fiber adapter system supports virtually any 4K camera. The system acquires and passes simultaneous uncompressed 4K and HD signals for distances of up to 1.24 miles, with the option of distances beyond 6.2 miles. The LS-750/GT offers users five 3G SDI streams directly out of the camera, as well as one return 3G/HD-SDI/SD-SDI signal. All types of 4K plus HD, or five separate HD streams, can be transported simultaneously, with the ability to mix the five asynchronous 3G/HD/SD streams independently.
The Nipros systems are camera agnostic and will also be shown at the Canon Europe Ltd. booth and at the Ross Video Ltd. booths.
