SHED
SMPTE Hybrid Elimination Device


This set consists of two
adapters, which convert from hybrid wire/fiber cables with
Lemo connectors to standard all-fiber cables and connectors. The adapters
perform two
functions. The first is to allow the camera and base station to communicate on
two ordinary,
inexpensive single mode fibers. The other function is to provide the appropriate
power delivery option for your camera.
Telcast's SHED devices allow your cameras to communicate over common,
telecommunications grade single mode fiber the kind you can use for a variety
of purposes. In addition, the distance capability of the cameras is now several
times greater than is possible with power-limited hybrid cables, and the cost of
fibering the venue drops dramatically.
SHED adapters offer you several options to power your camera. You may locally
power your camera with its AC power supply or camera battery. Or, using the HDX
unit, power the camera through up to a kilometer of hybrid cable.
The HDX unit derives power from an AC mains source or, with two HDX units, from
existing triaxial cable in the venue as an extension cord for power.
