ADVERTI SEMENT FEATURE | MARSHALL
NEW KIT ON THE BLOCK Industry mainstay Marshall has been around for quite some time, but two of its latest cameras – the CV226 and CV630-IP – are as modern as they come, and are sure to be very welcome additions in the broadcast world
When size is the deciding factor, nothing gets the job done like a lipstick camera. Small enough to be placed just about anywhere discretely, but packed with enough tech to deliver a quality image – it’s a match made in heaven as far as the requirements of live broadcast go.
The CV226 is the first of Marshall’s most recent additions, and it does just that – and more. Following the CV225 lipstick camera, the new model comes equipped with new sensor technology offering better-than-ever quality. The same 2.5-megapixel sensor, in fact, utilised in Marshall’s new CV503 “Small enough to be placed just about anywhere, but packed with tech”
ABOVE The CV226 is a 2.5-megapixel lipstick camera with great ultra low-light performance
and CV506 cameras, but in a much smaller package. The result is clearer video with greater colour accuracy, channelled through a single 3GSDI output in 1920x1080i, 1920x1080p, and 1280x720p resolutions. The new model also adds the convenience of all selectable frame rates on a single chip, to include 60, 59.94, 50, 30, 29.97, 25/24 and 23.98fps output formats. The camera’s power consumption is at an industry-leading low level and the ultra low-light performance is also exceptional, with the lowest noise ratio available on the market today. When it comes to use, a weather-resistant design means the camera is suitable in the toughest of conditions, with the ability to withstand dust, sand and even submersion in water up to 1m deep for several hours. Plus, a convenient ¼in-20 mount also allows for versatile mounting options indoors or out. The CV226 continues to offer focal length and field of view flexibility, with interchangeable lenses, remote control over RS485, and the convenience of a full-sized coaxial 3G/HD-SDI (BNC) connection to maintain broadcast-level standards for POV camera applications. TOTAL VERSATILITY When more substantial kit is needed, the new CV630-IP is an ideal solution, capable of meeting the demands of virtually any
broadcast and professional AV application. Housing a powerful 8-megapixel 1/2.5in sensor, this new camera can capture Ultra HD video, with support for Full HD and 720p when required. The CV630-IP offers massive versatility when it comes to positioning, thanks to synchronous pan, tilt and zoommotors for smooth and silent movement during shooting. Thirty times optical zoom provides a range of 4.6 to 135mm, with an angle of view close to 70° at its widest. Movement and zoom can be controlled with ease, alongside iris, shutter, white-balance, focus and more, via Marshall’s VS-PTC-IP PTZ Camera Controller. All of these functions can also be controlled by IR remote, networked video management software (VMS) or RS-232/RS-422, with support for Visca, Visca over IP, Pelco and Onvif platforms. To fulfil a wide range of broadcast needs, the CV630-IP has an equally wide range of output options. Multiple simultaneous video streams are available over HDMI, 3G-SDI and triple stream IP (H.265/H.264) with stereo audio input embeddable on all available outputs. PoE+ (power over Ethernet) provides an economical and easy solution for integrators during installation. MORE INFORMATION: marshall-usa.com
