SHARK ADAPTS TO WIN POWER Hawk-Woods BY DAVID FOX
The BL-SF1 from Hawk-Woods is a 26V Dual B-Lok Shark Fin style power adaptor that allows users to connect two B-Lok (B-Mount) batteries to Arri cameras that require a B-Lok connection. The adaptor supports hot- swapping between the two connected B-Lok batteries, providing not only increased combined capacity, but also uninterrupted power to the camera, so that users can swap batteries without stopping their shoot.
The BL-SF1 power adaptor
offers a range of outputs to power camera accessories. It includes a multi-directional D-Tap (12V regulated) port on the top of the adaptor, a USB-C power delivery output supporting 5V, 9V, 12V and 15V, a two-pin Fischer (female) connection regulated at 24V, and a two- pin Lemo (female) connection regulated at 12V.
An intelligent LED system monitors battery status and current draw, fl ashing to alert users when it’s time to replace a battery, ensuring smooth, continuous operation. 12.A84

RACETECH ON COURSE FOR REMOTE PRODUCTION
Kokusai Denki Electric Europe BY DAVID FOX
Kokusai Denki (formerly Hitachi) is showcasing how it helped Racecourse Technical Services (RaceTech), which broadcasts 1500 racing fi xtures across 60 racecourses per year, roll out a new style of Remote Production Unit OB. RPU1 is designed to reduce the amount of equipment required on-site using remote production. It uses seven Kokusai Denki SK- HD1300E-S1 HD camera systems, including an S3 super slow-motion

camera. Its CCUs have both fi bre and triax connectors, so the proportion of triax and fi bre can be changed from job to job. The cameras can also be used as radio
cameras with full RCP control. Other equipment normally found in an OB (vision mixer, graphics, sound) stays at Ealing Broadcast Centre in London, with the control
panels for this equipment at RaceTech’s Remote Production Centre in south-west London. John Bance, Head of Engineering, RaceTech, said: “The fl exibility to allow operation via triax or fi bre camera cables, simply by changing the camera’s back adaptor, is great. In some situations, we also need to switch to single-mode fi bre operation, which is very easy and just needs simple fi bre break-out boxes and 12V DC to power the camera head.” RaceTech has bought eight more Kokusai Denki cameras for RPU2, currently being built. 10.B40
