Designed to simplify complex studio cabling, this compact control‑room interface enables a full SMPTE‑style workflow over standard copper Ethernet. By using high‑speed 10 Gb/s Ethernet, it allows video, return feed, timecode, reference sync, talkback and camera control to travel through a single Cat 6A cable instead of traditional fiber. This dramatically reduces infrastructure cost while maintaining the reliability and functionality expected in professional broadcast environments.

The unit is intended for use at the studio end of a live production chain and works seamlessly with compatible studio cameras. All essential connections are broken out locally, making it easy to integrate cameras into an SDI‑based control room. A built‑in power supply delivers power to the camera over the same Ethernet connection using PoE, eliminating the need for separate power cables at the camera position and keeping installations clean and efficient.

A colour LCD display and integrated front‑panel controls provide clear system status and fast access to configuration settings. Engineers can monitor signals, manage talkback channels and adjust parameters directly on the device without external software. The built‑in speaker and headphone output make it easy to monitor intercom audio locally, which is especially useful during setup or troubleshooting.

Audio handling is comprehensive and designed for professional workflows. Embedded SDI audio supports multiple intercom channels, separating production and engineering communications for clear coordination during live broadcasts. Additional analog and digital audio connections allow flexible integration with existing intercom systems. Reference and timecode inputs and outputs ensure accurate synchronisation across multi‑camera productions, supporting both Tri‑Sync and Black Burst standards.

Support for HD and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60 ensures the system remains suitable for modern and future productions. With 10‑bit 4:2:2 video processing and full compliance with current SMPTE standards, image quality and signal integrity are preserved throughout the workflow. This makes the device an ideal solution for studios, houses of worship, event venues and broadcasters seeking a robust yet cost‑effective alternative to traditional fiber‑based camera systems.
