IV4K-4200
Cinematic Multicam Solution
The lV4K-4200 Series system optimizes the performance of cinema cameras for live production workflows. Users connect cinema cameras via SMPTE cables, achieving Video, Power, Intercom, Tally and Data control for multi-channel communication and collaboration in live streaming and recording.
Compared to traditional 2/3-inch broadcast systems, Cinema cameras deliver superior dynamic range cinematic color reproduction, and compatibility with various cinema lenses. This makes them increasingly popular for live news, sports events, musicals, concerts, and other real-time productions.
INCAM technology enables seamless integration of cinematic imaging capabilities into broadcast workflows.
Professional Production Workflow Realized
Traditional film production setups prioritize localized camera placement without complex remote control needs. In contrast, large-scale live broadcasting such as sports events and concerts require multi-camera deployments, and directors, cameramen, color engineers and other multi-workers need to follow the broadcast workflow to produce the program. Therefore, it is necessary to use Incam IV4K EFP system to seamlessly integrate cinema cameras into professional workflows through SMPTE cables, which unify Power, Video, Sync, Tally, Intercom, and Control signals to fully demonstrate the program creativity.

Bi-Directional Multi-Channel Video Transmission
Cameraman need to see sensor and lens parameters through the Monitor characterdisplay, while live productions demand clean signal output to Switchboards and RecordingSystems. lV4K EFP system features 2 x 12G-SDl Video channels from the Camera sideto the CCU side.
In the multi-channel production, the cameraman needs to see the PGM from theSwitchboard or synthesized PGM when in VR production.In large-scale entertainmentproduction, they may require the video back from Video Caster, such as Cuepilot, or otherreference signal.IV4K EFP system support 2 x 12G-SDl Video Return from CCU to theCamera side with independent output.
Support for Multiple Monitors & Shooting Accessories
The lV4K camera unit features two D-Tap power outputs and one LBUS power output, providing flexible power distribution for follow-focus systems, servo lenses, and several external viewfinders. Dual independent video interfaces-1-VF(to Viewfinder) and 2-RET(Return)-ensure seamless integration with production workflows.
Enhanced Live Application
Multi-Type Viewfnder Support
The lVCU unit features 2 xSDl Input BNC port, sousers can use the lens controller RET button olthe switcher onlVCA unit to select the two returnvideos(PGM1 and PGM2)and the video coming fromthe camera end(Local SDll and SDl2)for output. Theoutput connectors are the VF port located at the rightside and the RET Port located at the rear of the lVCAunit.
A standard TALLY connector has been designed onIVCA unit. When connected to the Viewfnder bracketit activates the TALLY light on the bracket frontwardsThis unigue design allows customers to use anymonitor with a12G-SDl input as a viewfinder andallows for multiple PGM and local signal switching foradded accessory fexibility.

Sync & Timecode Support
Sync and Timecode are indispensable time reference signals in the workflow. lt is critical in Switchboard system and in multi-camera recording.
Dual-Channel Intercom with Audio Mixing
The lV4K EFP system features ENG/PROD dual-channelintercom interfaces,supports 4-wire input with audiomixing.This part has gone through many tests withleading intercom brands.Using high-quality devices, strictmanufacturing process,IV4K EFP system outputs clearsound quality, strong anti-interference ability, stable andreliable transmission.

Gigabit Ethernet & RS-422 Control
IV4K is designed with 2 x Gigabit Ethernet, providing two accessible RJ45 interfaces atboth IVCA and IVCU unit with low latency and passing network analyzer tests. The systemalso retains the traditional RS-422 data interface, supporting SONY 8-pin protocol.
Easy Setup & Flexiable Operation
The IVCU unit is designed to compatible with SONY DB25 or D50 interface, supportingIntercom,Tally and GPlO input. This user-friendly design makes it convenient to connectthe Cinema Camera to the existing system.
Real-time status display screen is designed at the left side of the lVCA unit. Throughsimple menu setting, the cameraman can enjoy Plug and Play operation.
