A cornerstone of professional video equipment, the Wooden Camera C-Box (Converter, D-Tap) is an essential tool for videographers and cinematographers who demand durable, high-quality, and reliable signal conversion. This innovative device seamlessly accepts HDMI and 3G HD-SDI inputs, which are selectable via a conveniently placed switch on the operator's side, and is capable of outputting three channels of HD-SDI and two channels of HDMI simultaneously.
Crafted with versatility in mind, the C-Box ensures that each video output is independently reclocked, maintaining the integrity and strength of the original signal. This feature is particularly beneficial for professionals who require long cable runs without compromising signal quality. The unit's robust design is complemented by LED indicators on the operator's side, providing instant visual confirmation of power and signal status, ensuring that your setup is functioning correctly at a glance.
Drawing power efficiently from the D-Tap of a battery or battery plate, the C-Box comes with an included cable, eliminating the need for additional power sources and keeping your rig streamlined. Its compatibility with both V-Mount and QRC-style Gold Mount systems adds to its adaptability, allowing it to be attached between any V-Mount or Gold Mount and the previously mounted plate. For instance, it can be fitted between the WC V-Mount (Epic/Scarlet) and the Quick Back v2, or between the WC Gold Mount (BMC) and the Battery Slide, demonstrating its ease of integration into existing setups.
The Wooden Camera C-Box (Converter, D-Tap) stands out in the market with its 75 Ohms +/- 1% input/output impedance, catering to a broad spectrum of devices and ensuring high-quality signal transmission.
