The HDCE-RX30 IP Camera Control Unit (CCU) extension adaptor support IP routing with HDCE-TX30 between Camera and CCU for multi studio use in order to reduce the cost and complexity of remote live production.

Used in conjunction with the HDCE-TX30 IP camera extension adaptor, the HDCE-RX30 connects directly to the CCU (camera control unit) that can sited remotely from the camera head. Uncompressed signals from Sony HDC-3500/3100 and HDC-2500/2400/1700 series system cameras are converted to SMPTE ST 2110 and streamed over the IP network with no limitation on distance between camera head and CCU.

Support for leading IP intercom vendors including RTS, Clear-Com and Riedel allows producers and directors at the main production centre to communicate in real time with camera operators at a remote venue.

Used in conjunction with the HDCE-TX30 transmitter, the HDCE-RX30 also simplifies centralised allocation of equipment between multiple studios, control rooms and machine rooms, allowing camera signals to be routed instantly over IP to another part of the facilities.

The software license for IP HDCE to support JPEG XS*2 without any external boxes is currently under development.
