Videosys Broadcast has launched a new control system for the MEDIAEDGE QDCAM high-speed box camera that it says allows broadcasters to easily incorporate the camera into their production workflows.
The fibre-based plug-and-play system uses intuitive software that automatically configures all the camera and CCU features for the user’s chosen format, said the company.
It means broadcasters can deploy the QDCAM box camera for 4K productions or high speed (x4) slomo shots.
“The MEDIAEDGE QDCAM is a popular camera because it delivers excellent image quality at a very affordable price,” said Colin Tomlin, managing director of Videosys Broadcast. “However, for broadcast, its one drawback was its complicated set-up system and awkwardly-shaped boxes that were not weatherproof and didn’t fit standard equipment racks.
“By working closely with MEDIAEDGE, we have succeeded in creating a new RCP system and fibre implementation that resolves all these issues and brings the camera firmly into the broadcast domain.”
