ultiDyne has announced
SilverBACK-4K, a cameramounted ﬁbre transport solution
that supports 4K (UHD) digital
television.
Utilising SilverBACK-4K, users
can seamlessly transmit any camera
signal, including Ultra HD video, HDSDI video, audio, intercom, control
data, GPIOs, tally, and power, over
a single hybrid copper and ﬁbre
cable. MultiDyne demonstrated the
product for the ﬁrst time at NAB.
SilverBACK-4K is available in
two versions: a feature-rich model
with a video option for viewﬁnder
or monitor viewing in the field
and a low-cost model without the
viewﬁnder/monitor viewing option.
UHD support can be added to any
existing SilverBACK system through
a simple upgrade.
Suited to digital cinema, sports,
ENG, D-SNG and multi-camera

studio applications, SilverBACK
can transport SDI video up
to 4K un compressed with
embedded or separate
programme audio.
Users can achieve
camera control/RCP paint
functions through one

data channels, and
an additional back
channel is available for
camera sync or genlock.
Several options are available for
optical connectivity including STs,
Neutrik opticalCon, Fibreco Mini 2
expanded beam, and Lemo 304M.
A JUICE power supply can be
added to support camera distances
of up to 300 metres.
The SilverBACK-4K supports up
to four channels of AES or analogue
programme audio as well as a fullfeatured, single-channel intercom.

storage service.
ODA stores data in a compact
cartridge with 12 optical discs for
high-capacity ﬁle-based archiving.
Sony will introduce new ODA
products later this year.
“This integration is a good fit
because ODA already offers the
durability, reliability, and longevity

customers will beneﬁt from having
an alternate storage technology,

DIVArchive and LYNX.
Support from DIVArchive, which
can integrate with multiple media
libraries, will play an important role
for a wide range of Sony’s broadcast
customers in expanding storage
space beyond ODA, migrating
content from tape to ODA, and
recovering from disaster.

as paint, roto, 2D tracking and
planer tracking to additional
