1.3 Application
The Broadcast Transmitter has been designed to operate in mu tip e ro es in many environments. Here are
some examp es:
1.1 Professiona Camera Back App ications – Sports and News
We can supp y either Anton Bauer or Sony “V” mounting p ates that enab e the camera back transmitter to
be direct y connected to professiona cameras.
The Sony “V” mount, for examp e enab es the transmitter to be mounted direct y onto cameras such as the
SONY PDW Series Cameras and Thomson 8000 Series. The transmitter mounts between the camera and
the battery. The camera is powered from the battery, through the AXTX1 transmitter, powering both units.
The AXTX1 is a so avai ab e with Anton Bauer connectors to direct y mount onto Panasonic and Ikegami
ENG type cameras.
1.2 He icopter Integration for Sports, News and Traffic Coverage
A variety of insta ation options can be made much simp er and easier to operate, by using either of the
AXTX1 transmitters. By having ASI in/out connectors, the AXTX1 a ows for specific “He i-Te e”
configurations and options.
1. ASI out: Can be used to encode an HDSDI signa from a gimba mounted camera to ASI, which is then
fed to an RF amp ifier and direct y coup ed to an antenna. (Minima RF oss)
2. ASI in: Can be used in an aeria “re-trans” system. Signa s sent up to a he icopter from ground vehic es
and then sent to remote receive sites, mi es away.
3. The sma ightweight AXTX1-Mini is perfect y suited for these types of app ications.
1.2.1 System Integration into Vehic es or Aircraft
Users shou d be aware of the fo owing issues when integrating the equipment into vehic es.
1. For the additiona range required in vehic e app ications, the use of amp ifiers shou d be considered.
Interconnection between the transmitter and any power amp ifier shou d be kept as short as possib e,
but where this is not possib e, specia attention shou d be taken to use on y ow oss cab es.
2. Long cab e runs from the RF output to the antenna shou d be avoided, for maximum RF output.
3. The antenna shou d be mounted vertica y idea y, and exposed to free space.
4. The equipment shou d be supp ied with a c ean supp y in the range 7V to 18V and capab e of 1.10A
maximum at 12VDC. Care shou d be taken to avoid direct supp y from the vehic e 12V which can be
very noisy. Power conversion wi be required for 24V vehic es.
5. The video input can be connected across ong video cab e engths so remote y mounted cameras shou d
pose no prob em.
6. Insure for proper venti ation of equipment, especia y RF transmitter and Amp ifiers.
