For sports and events coverage, the use of large zoom lenses is a common requirement. The Grass Valley™ RefleX SuperXpander acts as a large lens adapter, rapidly converting a portable camera into a mobile production system, with full compatibility with our 3G camera transmission family.
The lightweight RefleX SuperXpander provides secure mounting and balancing for the largest prompter monitors. For increased simplicity, your camera can remain mounted inside the RefleX SuperXpander housing for transport, saving rigging time and precious space, while ensuring that the camera is aligned and ready to go immediately. Alternatively, you can mount or release the camera from the housing quickly so you can switch between pedestal, box lens, and handheld applications working with an EFP style lens—even during a live program.
The new hot shoe connector between the camera and the RefleX SuperXpander provides all power and signal connectivity—making it quick, convenient, and reliable, with no need for extra cabling. The hot shoe connector also makes the RefleX SuperXpander transmission system agnostic—both 3G Fiber and 3G Triax camera systems can be used with the same SuperXpander without the need of switching modules.
