Remote view to rent
By Melanie Dayasena-Lowe Camera Corps
DEMONSTRATING A major advance in remote camera control technology is Camera Corps, which is also showcasing its SIMPLY SMPTE compact remote camera link at NAB. The new RF Q-Ball is a complete wireless remote camera system, which can be installed quickly and easily in practically any location. It will initially be available for rental. “Many of our hire service customers are keen to use wireless remote cameras as part of their outside broadcast activity,” commented Camera Corps’ managing director Laurie Frost. “The advantages are obvious but so is the complexity for anyone trying to assemble a practical system from multiple sources. The RF Q-Ball
system gives the operator full control of pan, tilt, zoom and focus, capturing broadcast quality video plus four channels of embedded audio.
Transmission range is more than a mile from the camera, depending on the terrain.” Up to 96 cameras can be operated through a single data
transmitter attached to a standard Camera Corps RCP remote control panel or Joystick panel. In addition, the company will present its SIMPLY SMPTE camera link as part of a complete system. This includes the Q-Ball family of compact all-weather remote pan/tilt/zoom/focus cameras, the 96-channel Multi-Camera Keypad, Standard and Mini Joystick
