Overview
The HoneyBadger doesn’t care how big your campus is. It can handle the job with a feature set that is unavailable elsewhere in the broadcast production signal extension market. With support for 8 cameras and return feeds plus Genlock extension the system has your image acquisition requirements under control and in time. The Partyline Intercom channels and eight micpre inputs have your talent on-air loud and clear while the two isolated 1GbE LAN extensions let you get your IP connectivity extended over the same two Single-Mode fibers.
HoneyBadger Remote unit is a 5RU rack mountable chassis with dual, redundant 48VDC power supplies and a battery plate for short term emergency back up power. Fiber connector options include dual ST, Neutrik opticalCON DUO and LEMO 304M SMPTE standard connectors. The HoneyBadger Local side unit is a compact 4RU that provides the same industry standard connectivity as the remote side with full size BNCs for video, XLRs for Audio and easy to terminate Phoenix connectors for the Serial Data and GPIOs. The HoneyBadger is also available with 12G-SDI I/O to support 4K production.
