Newswift HD 240 is best on three axes Vislink
By Ian McMurray
The Newswift HD 240 fully integrated antenna has been independently certified as the most robust vehicle-mounted system in its class, according to Vislink. To meet independent certification requirements, Vislink says that it has enhanced the structural efficiency of its NewSwift product range. The NewSwift HD 240 antenna can now support an increased maximum operational wind speed of 75kph, and up to 180kph when collapsed. Despite the improved outer shell, the Newswift is still smaller than previous iterations when stowed away, requiring just 70cm of headroom, and is capable of being mounted
onto a wider range of SNG vehicles than before. The NewSwift HD 240 antenna is already the lightest system of its kind, Vislink claims, but the latest version benefits from better load distribution when mounted to ensure smooth motorised operation across all three axes. The NewSwift is also said to be highly customisable and lightweight, made available as either a single or three piece carbon fibre reflector, and can be specified to include auto- acquisition and auto-tracking capabilities to maintain a data link while on the move. “The Newswift HD 240 antenna was initially developed to meet growing demand from the Africa, APAC and Americas regions for a larger vehicle- mounted broadcast system,” said Ali Zarkesh, product development director at Vislink. “We have listened to our customers’ needs since the initial launch and enhanced the NewSwift range to create a more robust 2.4m antenna with better support for different SNG vehicles around the world.” 1.A69
Cable is an industry first Belden By Ian McMurray
In addition to showcasing the company’s latest solutions for broadcast applications, Belden is also introducing a number of new product innovations. These include Belden Duobond Plus HD Digital Video cables, which are claimed to be a first in the broadcast industry: extending Belden’s range of coaxial digital video cables and connectors, the new Belden Duobond Plus DNH series with bonded foil over the dielectric are said to make the termination of Belden’s 1-Piece HD BNC very easy and much faster than the traditional 3-Piece BNCs. Belden set the standard for reliability to deliver the performance required for HD, 3G and 4K video transmissions, with guaranteed signal integrity over longer transmission distances, helping to save both installation time and costs. Belden is also introducing a new high quality hybrid fibre
The cable guys: The SMPTE311 is a hybrid fibre HD camera assembly
SMPTE311 HD Camera Assembly that supports 720p, 1080i and 1080p. HD cameras provide digital transmission using SMPTE311 standard fibre optic cable for connecting to the camera control unit. The company says that HD cameras can transmit all digital bi- directional video and audio signals, one control line, power line, and prompter line over extremely long distances - up to 4000 meters - with Belden SMPTE311 HD Camera Assemblies.
“Belden has established a
strong position as the most trusted brand,” said Werner Eich, marketing manager for Broadcast Connectivity EMEA. “Our broadcast solutions comprise not only Belden cable and connectivity products but thanks to our Grass Valley brand they also span the full breadth of TV operations, including acquisition, production, and playout.
