Cobra

The Cobra™ represents a breakthrough in television production.
It is the industry's first and only high performance link that
interconnects triax-equipped cameras to their base stations
using lightweight fiber optic cable. Just change modules to
make your Cobra compatible with most cameras and base
stations, including Sony, Philips, and Ikegami. Plug in your
fiber and triax, and you're on the air.

The lightweight Cobra allows you to locate your camera up to 20 kilometers from the base station, with no repeaters or equalizing. It even supports return video over long distance.

Fiber cable eliminates all electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, as well as ground faults and hum. Cobra maintains wideband component video performance, preserving high resolution pictures over long distances.

Fiber optic cables deploy (and take up) faster and easier, saving manpower costs. Plus, fiber cable is more durable
than triax — it stands up to crushing; resists punctures (from golf spikes, etc.); and cannot corrode. If it does ever need replacement, fiber cable costs far less than triaxial assemblies.

Share production facilities among several city-wide or facility-wide venues. Use fiber optic backbone cables in your building or campus, between your stadium and arena, or use metropolitan fiber backbones from your carrier or access provider of choice.

Front loading personality module allows you to adapt to different camera series, such as HD-Triax or Super-Motion cameras. Cobra also powers your camera — by reinserting power through as much as 1,000 ft (300m) of triaxial cable, depending on camera/CCU model.
