Fischer Connectors will showcase their fiber-optic HDTV broadcast camera connector at NAB. The company believes the 1053 HDTV broadcast camera connector provides the answer that many camera manufacturers, mobile truck providers, production centers, and broadcast studios have been waiting for to make the transition to fiber-based HDTV cameras.  

The 1053 Series combines broadcast triax connectors with Corning UniCam “No Epoxy – No Polish” fiber-optic contacts. The technology has a fast and easy termination, typically 30 minutes from start to finish and the connectors also have elastomer protection against shock, crush and cable bend. It complies with all OEM HD camera equipment. Fischer also provides training and maintenance courses with the product.

To ensure compatibility with all HDTV broadcast camera manufacturers, the 1053 HDTV camera connector is SMPTE signal-compliant, employing two single-mode fiber contacts, two high voltage contacts, and two low voltage signal contacts.   Elimination of unnecessary optical connections throughout the signal path provides for fewer contacts to clean and a correspondingly lower signal loss.
