Next Generation Power and Data Transmission System Goes Further Over Coax, Accommodates More Applications with Bi-directional Data Link, and now Features 4K Support

BHV Broadcast, manufacturer of Video Ghost, a multi-award-winning product and part of the Media Ghost platform, is launching a significantly enhanced next-generation version of the revolutionary power solution this spring. At NAB2018, Video Ghost^dx will make its US debut with a game-changing feature set that dramatically expands its capabilities, and extends its appeal from cameras and monitors to include PTZ heads, or any unit or application requiring a reliable power source and data link. Attendees can see Video Ghost^dx on CueScript's Booth #C2622.

Video Ghost, the video equivalent of phantom power for audio, is known in broadcast and related fields for its safe and cost-effective method of transporting power and SDI video over a single coaxial cable, removing the need for bulky, expensive and unreliable batteries or local AC power sources.

New Name – New Features, Support and Functionality

Updated to Video Ghost^dx, the system now allows the simultaneous transmission of digital video (SDI), dc power and bi-directional data over a single coaxial cable. Supported formats include SD and HD, and it is 3G/6G/12G capable to achieve up to 4K Ultra High Definition (UHD). The data control link is compatible with numerous protocols including Sony VISCA, Pelco-D and Pelco-P, and can control PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) functions remotely as well as color correction and iris settings among others.

Atrue 'fit-and-forget' system, Video Ghost^dx takes just minutes to set up and now offers up to 75W* of d.c. power over 150m (500 feet) for use in hard-to-reach locations without the added cost and safety implications of running local mains power. A built-in proprietary interlock system prevents power being sent over the coaxial cable until the base station has established contact with the head end, thus avoiding any accidental damage.

Video Ghost^dx is also available in a rack-mounted version, GhostRack^dx, offering four channels of power over coax in a 1RU x 19" rack case with integral power supplies and front panel monitoring.  GhostRack^dx is ideal for OB vehicles and can be run over passive jackfield systems.

"The addition of the bi-directional data link with VISCA, Pelco-D, Pelco-P control is very exciting," says Hiorns. "The new features, functionality and support combined with its portability and rapid deployment make this a product ideal for anyone powering a PTZ, monitor, camera or any unit requiring power. Anywhere."
