Efficient file sharing over IP networking with Share Play function
The Share Play function can be utilised when the system is configured with the PWS-4500 server connected to the HDC-4800 together with the BPU-4800 via the network. Once clips have been recorded by the BPU-4800, the Share Play function enables these clips to be shared among all connected PWS-4500 servers. This delivers a more efficient workflow. For example, PWS-4500 server operators and highlight operators can view the clips in the BPU-4800, and can playback and output any of these clips from their own local server. There is no need to push or pull clips between different servers.
Simultaneous 4K HFR data and high-quality XAVC recording*3
The BPU-4800 allows 4K HFR data and simultaneous high-quality XAVC recording – with up to four hours record time and no need for a separate record/playback server.

HD cutout function
Powerful processing allows a Full HD high frame rate (HFR) image to be cut out from a 4K picture in real time. During replay, any portion of the captured image can be cropped to provide a close-up HD HFR image. This gives directors a powerful editorial tool to enrich live sports coverage with detailed analysis of the action.
4K fibre transmission up to 2,000m as standard
The BPU-4800, configured with the HDC-4800 system camera and HDCU-2000 camera control unit can operate across standard SMPTE fibre cables for distances up to 2,000m.
