BHV, manufacturer of hardware, firmware, desktop and cloud solutions, and a provider of turnkey engineering services, is presenting a technology preview of its new 4K 60 video processor platform at ISE 2025.
The platform, which sits at the heart of BHV’s recently introduced Camera SportsBox 4-channel remote switcher and format processor, boasts HDR/SDR cross conversion and keying capabilities.
BHV says Camera SportsBox is a super compact device that allows 4 camera views to be transported over a single remote link (5G, COFDM), allowing access to four vehicle cameras all selectable in the production gallery.
The unit is designed to bring flexibility and portability to fast action multicamera productions such as motor GP, competitive sailing and aerial racing. Capable of full 4K 60P 4:2:2, SportsBox is designed to fit the smallest spaces while meeting the rigorous demands of OB producers and complies fully with the standards of sporting governing bodies.
Camera SportsBox features 4 x 4K-SDI inputs, each capable of full format conversion, allowing any camera from SD to 4K in any mix to be scaled, synchronised, and transferred by a single wireless link.
Weighing in at under 700g (appx. 1.5 lbs.) and measuring 174mm x 124mm x 45mm, Camera SportsBox is based on a new silicon that makes it highly durable for the harshest of sporting environments, the company says.
Technology demonstrations of Camera SportsBox with the new processor will be conducted on BHV stand #4N550 at ISE 2025.
This story will also appear in Installation’s ISE 2025: Technology Convergence, a special eBook looking at AV and broadcast convergence, highlighting key products and convergence events at the show. A joint project with Future B2B sister titles TVBEurope and TV Tech, it will be distributed ahead of ISE 2025, from January 21st and is free to access.
