JVC - FS-900 ProHD Fiber Remote System
The FS-900 is a new camera mounted Fiber optic system designed for JVC’s GY-HM890 ProHD camcorder. Built exclusively for JVC by MultiDyne® Video & Fiber-Optic Systems, the system supports 3G-SDI 1080p/60 camera feeds and returns, and takes advantage of the camera’s built-in streaming engine for video-over-IP functionality.
The JVC ProHD fiber systems include a camera adapter (for the GY-HM890) and base station, with either RTS intercom or CC (Clear-Com) compatibility.
Ideal for a range of ENG and EFP applications the FS-900 system replaces multiple, bulky cables with durable lightweight fiber cable for robust two-way communication between cameras and control systems
The FS-900, a 3-camera fiber optic base station, provides camera control, 3G-SDI 1080p/60 camera feeds and returns and power for up to three ProHD cameras. The FS-900 camera module connects directly to the back of the GY-HM890 camcorder via 68-pin interface—no external cables required—for full studio functionality. It transports multiple bi-directional 3G-SDI signals as well as control, audio, sync, and intercom between the camera and the FS-900 Base Station.
Up to three cameras are supported by the Base Station, and its redundant power supplies provide up to 150 watts for each camera, as well as prompters and talent monitors. Its three-in-one configuration provides a more cost efficient solution than other multi-camera solutions previously offered by JVC and other manufacturers. The fiber optic multiplexing system replaces the bulky multicore cables with durable, lightweight fiber cable.
With built-in gigabit Ethernet, the lightweight, 2 RU Base Station also allows video-over-IP, control and advanced configuration. The high quality 1080p video signals are ideal for webcasts, virtual sets, and image magnification (I-MAG) applications. The system integrates easily with any studio, mobile truck, or portable flypack, and connects directly with a facility’s switcher, router, intercom, and house sync systems.
GY-HM890ProHD Shoulder Camera
There’s never been a more versatile high quality professional camera than JVC’s GY-HM890U—an advanced 3-CMOS camera that delivers pristine HD images to solid state memory and streams via Wi-Fi or a plug-in LTE modem. It features a removable 20x Fujinon auto-focus lens, 4 channels of audio, dual memory card recording at up to 50 Mbps, an external HD-SDI pool feed input, and a full complement of fiber and multicore studio options. It’s the most feature-rich HD camera JVC has ever offered, and now, the availability of the FS-900 Fiber Remote System makes it truly an essential component of any modern broadcast company.
Full Control through Extended Base Station Connections
Designed for total integration with existing systems, the FS-900 base station offers complete connections for video (two HD/SDI outputs with return SDI and VBS connections for analog signals), audio (RTS TW intercom module) and sync/control functions (bi-level or tri-level sync, prompter input, time code, GPI signals and remote camera control input), providing unprecedented control for a range of field applications.
