MASTER LINE
YOUR ENTIRE STADUM, EXTENDED
Massive zero-latency signal density in reliable, rugged and portable package. Throw down a field-ready ½ Rack box and send 22 full 12G-SDI signals as well as audio, remote control and every other possible connection across a single strand of fiber. SMPTE connection can power the remote box, and bi-directional redundant power sources can be added too. The legendary Master Line series is the market leader in Japanese broadcast environments where signal precision and absolute reliability is the only option. Zero configuration, just plug in any cable and the signal instantly comes out the other side.
Noiseless, Optically-Isolated Audio Channels
Analog intercom and audio become pristine, excellent options again with perfect electro-optical-electro
22x zero-delay 12G-SDI channels
Full-transparent Level 1 CWDM transmission of 12G, 6G, 3G, HD-SDI, as ASI, and more.
Engineered to the hardcore requirements of Japanese broadcast companies
Transparent, bulk analog & digital signals
No FPGA ingest or digital processing of any kind: each channel is transparent and independent - behaves like a copper cable.
Isolated Intercom, REF, Serial & more
Independent asynchronous transmission
Signals of all types can be sent without any synchronization whatsoever, with pathological Signal support & native transmission of very possible channel
Full 12G-Capable: 2 Inputs / 1 Return
Parallel Multi-Format Transmission: 12G/6G/3G/1.5G/SD/Analog + GENLOCK (2L, 3L), Comms, TC, LANC, TALLY, Serial, etc.
Comprehensive Full-Size Comms
Native Clear-Com 2W (XLR3P), 4-Wire (XLR4P) & XLR4P Operator H.S.
Camera Control w/ Native Connectors
Supports Control of all Camera Systems with native 8P Sony RCP, 12P Serial, LANC (2.5φ), 1GbE RJ45 + Dedicated LENS Iris.
Rugged Magnesium Chassis
Lightweight material keeps camera setups nimble while maintaining durability.
No Latency, Zero Processing
All channels are independent, so analog signals like Genlock coexist alongside multiple different video formats.
Re-Clocked Outputs
Re-Clocked RETURN & Through-Out allow longer BNC cable runs from camera stations.
Real-time System Status Display
Masterline status display provides constant access on both units to check on the detailed status of every single input and output, and a dedicated SDI output can be connected to the engineering signal flow so technicians can display a full-screen view on any connected monitors.
The front side of the station has quick-read status display, as well as physical intercom control dials which allow technicians to keep their eyes on the prize while using muscle memory to adjust their audio mix and levels. Finally, a full-size XLR-4Pin supports the connection of a headset using the native connector directly into the front of the station for easy comms to each camera channel.
