Yamal system growing
Gazprom Space Systems By Ian McMurray
Shortly to expand its orbital constellation is satellite service provider Gazprom Space Systems (GSS), a subsidiary of Gazprom. GSS operates the Russian satellite communication system Yamal, which consists of two Yamal-201 and Yamal- 202 satellites, a satellite earth station network and digital TV system. Yamal-201 (900E) mainly serves the Russian/CIS market, while Yamal-202 (490E) has a wide service area covering most of the
New REDEL T7 series REDEL T7 and REDEL F series Old REDEL F series
eastern hemisphere and caters to the international market. GSS’s ground infrastructure consists of three teleports. The Yamal-300K (900E) and Yamal-402 (550E) satellites are being prepared for launch this year, while Yamal-401 (900E) is under construction and will be launched next year. The satellite capacity of GSS will be increased by four times after the launch of the satellites in 2012-2013. GSS is also developing its ground infrastructure to control the satellites and expand the volume of information communication services it provides. 4.C60

Put Simply: Camera Corps’ new Simply SMPTE compact remote camera link
Camera Corps By David Fox
Ergonomic and robust connector protection
The new Simply SMPTE compact remote camera link allows any remotely controlled camera system in Camera Corps’ product range to be operated over long distance via SMPTE 3K-standard electrical/optical cable. The link “was developed for use at
large-scale outside broadcast events requiring long camera-to-base distances,” said Camera Corps’ Technical Director, Jim Daniels. “It allows large remote heads and boxed cameras to be operated over distances of five kilometres or more while maintaining the security and
reliability of a dedicated link. Because of their relatively low power requirement, our Q-Ball and Q-Ball Pre-Set systems can be operated over even greater distances of more than eight kilometres. The link’s physical footprint is very small relative to other systems of comparable versatility.” Fifty Simply SMPTE systems were deployed during Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine and 68 were used during the Olympics.
The link consists of a base unit and
remote unit. Powered by 110 or 240 volts AC, the 3.63kg base unit has an optical input for incoming video data. Electrical inputs allow direct connection of analogue genlock video and audio-frequency control data. A loop-through connector is provided for the control data channel. Incoming video from the remote camera is accessible via two HD-SDI outputs. The 1kg remote unit accepts HD-SDI from the camera and provides genlock, audio data and AC power plus dual 12v DC 60W outputs on XLR4 sockets for auxiliary equipment. The link can also convey 240v to maintain power headroom. Power from the base unit to the remote unit is fully isolated and protected against an open circuit or incompatible equipment. 10.C49
