HDX-Plus, Power Plus 2 & SHED
Power Solutions for Broadcast Cameras
The new generation HDX-Plus allows you to extend the distance between the camera’s CCU and HDX-Plus over fiber, and supply power from the HDX-Plus over SMPTE hybrid cable to the camera. The HDX-Plus is compatible with Grass Valley’s LDX range of cameras and Sony cameras. In addition, when HDX-Plus is used with Power Plus 2, it can be matched with any camera manufacturer when either an Anton Bauer or IDX power plate is available. Power Plus 2 replaces the on-board battery and provides up to 200W over 3 km (1.86 mi.) to the camera. HDX-Plus is compatible with SHED-BS when SMPTE power is required to be eliminated and converted to a fiber-only connection from CCU to HDX-Plus. SHED stands for SMPTE...

FEATURES
- Allows the use of conventional single-mode fiber cable:
- Infrastructure fiber
- Tactical fiber cable
- Uses common ST, SC, LC, MX or OpticalCON connectors for the fiber link
- Uses common SMPTE ST 304 connectors for a hybrid link
- Extends manufacturer’s distance limits of the camera/CCU
- Long distance range:
- HDX-Plus to CCU distance over two fibers: up to 10 km (6.21 mi.; depends on camera manufacturer optical budget)
- HDX-Plus to Power Plus 2 distance over SMPTE hybrid cable: up to 5 km (3.1 mi.) with power
- Supports Grass Valley and Sony cameras
- Supports any camera manufacturer with HDX-Plus and Power Plus 2 link
- Anton/Bauer and V-Battery mounting options for Power Plus 2
- Wide operating temperature range
- Low power consumption
- SHEDs are small, lightweight adapters
- Built-in optical power meter
- Front panel status monitoring
- Fast plug and play operation
- All camera signals on lightweight fiber cable
- HDX also supports CopperHead and T-POV Systems
