TOPAS 4K

4K optical transmission for Panasonic AW-UE150, UE-160 and SONY FR-7

Overview

The users of the Panasonic AW-UE150, UE-160 and SONY FR-7 PTZ cameras are going to enjoy the featured Ereca TOPAS 4K allowing to transmit all signals over fibre and remote power the camera.

 

Topas 4K is specially designed and shaped to complete perfectly the shape of the cameras.
The mechanical interface of the transmitter enclosure has been precisely cut so it matches the camera bottom and mounting bracket for quick and easy installation while staying visually discrete.

The transmission module works with standard SMPTE cables (Lemo and Neutrik) and allows to power remotely the camera and the Topas 4K transmitter over 800 meters. The transmitter is also available with local power option and SC/APC connectors.

The receiver side comes as a standalone half rack 1RU receiver with remote power capacity and basic diagnosis. Two receivers can be mounted side by side with a coupling kit to form a true 19″ width unit.

Topas 4K - RX (front & back)
Highlights

Each TOPAS 4K system transmits the following signal set:

  • 1 x 12G SDI signal from Camera,
  • 1 x 3G SDI signal from Camera,
  • 1 x HD SDI monitoring signal from Camera,
  • 1 x HD SDI from basestation (return path),
  • 1 x Genlock from basestation (Composite video / Black burst / Tri-level),
  • 2 x Audio from basestation (can be optionally shared with LANC remote signal),
  • 1 x Ethernet 10/100 Mbps,
  • 1 x Serial data RS 232/422/485,
  • 1 x Tally Contact closure from basestation.

A small internal silent fan provides cooling of the transmitter electronics and
power supply section.
