Anton/Bauer Announces
CINE Battery Series
For Mobile Power

A

nton/Bauer, a Vitec Group brand
and premier provider of battery
and charging technologies for the
broadcast, film and video industries,
has announced its new CINE battery
series for digital cinema cameras.
The CINE battery series was designed
to be the safest and most durable
mobile power solution for professional
cinematographers.
The CINE series delivers 12 amps of
continuous power and incorporates
Fuse Link technology, which - in the
case of a cell anomaly - provides
protection to surrounding battery
cells, preventing catastrophic damage.
The battery line also features multiple
sensors to detect temperature and
over-current states, ensuring optimal

battery performance during regular
use.
Ideal for camera stabiliser systems
and rail-mounted cameras, the CINE
battery's durable, industrial design
and footprint complements cine-style
cameras, such as the ARRI ALEXA Mini
and RED Weapon, and functions on all
existing Anton/Bauer chargers. For
ultimate convenience, the CINE battery
series includes a PowerTap to power
auxiliary accessories such as monitors,
lights, wireless receivers, and any
other 14V accessory.
"The CINE battery series exemplifies
Anton/Bauer's dedication to producing
the world's safest, smartest, and
most reliable power systems for
professional cinematographers," said

Neal Laneville, Product
Manager for Anton/Bauer.
"We spent a lot of time
taking feedback from our
customers and integrating
it into the design of the
new CINE series. The
result is a battery series
that combines our ground
breaking safety technologies
with a completely redesigned chassis
built just for cinematographers.
It's a bespoke solution for the most
demanding professionals."
The CINE series also includes an
extremely accurate LCD that provides
users with run-time information in
hours and minutes. When the battery
is detached, the LCD screen will

display battery life as a percentage
of capacity, allowing the user to
effortlessly track usage.
From September 2015, the CINE
series will be available in 90 Wh
and 150 Wh in both Gold Mount and
V-Mount connectors. A 190 Wh option
will be available in 2016.

COAX Connectors Launches
Broadcast 12G KORUS BNCs
I

BC 2015 saw COAX Connectors Ltd
officially launching 12G KORUS BNCs
for Broadcast.
With the ever increasing demand for
High Definition video and excellent
picture quality, comes the requirement
for connectors which offer reliable

performance at high frequencies and
data rates. BNC connectors have been
used in the broadcast industry for
many years now due to their low cost
and easy coupling, requiring only a
quarter turn to connect or disconnect.
Although from the outside BNCs still

look very similar, what is inside has
moved on dramatically over time.
Building on the reliability of the wellknown BNC, COAX's 12G KORUS BNC
75 ohm connectors have been redeveloped to meet the needs of the
latest Ultra High Definition systems
and cables.
Whether you are looking for 12G
connectors for Ultra HD, or to future
proof existing infrastructure, the latest
additions to the KORUS range of BNCs
from COAX provide the answer. The
'low loss' performance of the next
generation KORUS range permits
high data signal transmission without
distortion. With outstanding True
75 ohm performance for both 3G &
6G, the KORUS range now includes a
selection of parts for 12G applications,
capable of delivering 12G over a
single channel. Whilst using multiple
channels to achieve a high bandwidth
is not uncommon, cable management
becomes more complex, so not only
does 12G delivered over a single
channel bring benefits in terms of

saving space on equipment panels, but
reducing the number of connectors will
also be more cost effective.
When tested against the standards
set out in SMPTE ST 2082-1: 2015 the
COAX 12G crimp plugs far exceed these
requirements. KORUS connectors are
therefore a perfect choice for use in
new UHD-SDI systems.
Emma Ashton, Marketing Manager
at COAX Connectors Ltd commented:
"COAX's 12G KORUS BNC connectors
really are taking 75 ohm BNC
connector performance to the next
level. We are particularly pleased with
the return loss data for our 12G KORUS
BNC crimp plugs, which have recently
been tested to 18GHz."
COAX Connectors is a leading UK
designer, manufacturer and supplier
of high performance RF connectors.
For bespoke solutions the company
provides a complete end to end RF
connector design service, from initial
problem solving, through design
concepts and prototyping, to supplying
fully qualified production part.
