Ideal for portable deployments for truck and camera connections when facing weight and space constrictions, the Camplex HF-FUWPUW-7 Mini SMPTE cable assemblies with Gepco cable and Lemo FUW-PUW connectors are smaller and lighter than traditional steel strength member cables. The steel is replaced by a Kevlar strength member that has the same pull strength of steel, but is lighter and more flexible which means they lay flat and are easier to deploy and reel back on the drum. Kevlar expands and contracts at the same rate as the glass members during temperature extremes, keeping the elements in the cable aligned reducing migration. The power conductors consist of two 16 AWG conductors so you can still achieve the same distance a regular SMPTE 311 cable performs to. The Gepco cable also features bend insensitive fiber to reduce optical loss when bending and handling making them ideal for use behind racks and in trucks where space is extremely limited. The master jacket of the cable is heat resistant polyurethane, which is tougher than PVC for rugged outdoor use. Lightweight, flexible, and rugged Camplex Mini SMPTE 311 camera cable features 16 AWG robust power conductors for high performance in portable applications.

• Extremely durable and lightweight
• Glossy cable finish reduces pickup of dirt and debris
• Highly flexible with bend-insensitive optical fibers
• Kevlar strength member with same pull strength as steel
• Large gauge copper conductors for camera power
• Heat-resistant, heavy duty polyurethane jacket
• Low insertion and return loss

Q: 1. Will an ATEM switcher control tally via ethernet or do you still need to run a GPI Tally Interface for these?

A: The ATEM switcher provides tally over the SDI connection. You connect the ATEM Program out to the Studio Fiber Converter SDI input #1 and assign a camera number. The camera will get tally in this way. You may optionally wire a 3rd party tally to the DB-25 connector but that has nothing to do with the ATEM and is not necessary.

Q: 10. Any recommendations on what half bowl to purchase with these sticks?

A: We believe you are asking for a half ball tripod head. If so, it does of course matter what camera you are using and what type of video work you will be doing. Here are two on the affordable side of the tripod range. Manfrotto 504HD Fluid Video Head B&H # MA504HD and the Libec RH25D Fluid Head B&H # LIRH25D. The MA504HD is hugely popular while the Libec is simply no nonsense quality. On the heavier side, you can consider then Manfrotto 509HD Professional Video Head B&H # MA509HD for a nice match of head and tripod or the VariZoom VZFH100 Fluid Head (100mm) B&H # VAVZFH100 which has a very good review.
