Lightweight, easy-to-deploy fiber connectivity solutions.

The T-POV line from Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, offers significant improvements in bidirectional fiber optic video and data transceiver technology for robotic point of view HD and 4K professional tele-vision cameras. These devices are an outstanding choice for sports, remote broadcasting, security, education or military applications.

T-POV models 301 and 324 are TelePort 3G and TeleThon 3G compatible* with more flexible and affordable integrated SMPTE hybrid powering options and distributed power supplies. Model 301 offers simplicity with HD signal and data channels for full camera control with pan/tilt/zoom. In addi-tion, model 324 adds audio, Ethernet and return HD support.

The newest 4K model, the T-POV 3244, extends the range of any HD/4K robotic camera system beyond its originally designed limits.

As a broadcast link, the T-POV modules have a wide range of applications, from goal cameras, beauty shots, flying viewpoints and long distance remote controlled cameras. With the T-POV line, compo-nents can be mixed and matched to permit many configurations to suit virtually any requirement.

*Available signal paths vary by model

** The maximum cable length varies due to optical loss that can depend on cable quality, dirt/dust/contamination on connectors, and number of fiber interconnects. When using hybrid cable for power, the size of the hybrid cable, as well as the power draw of the camera, lens and pan/tilt head are also factors.
