Outstanding connectivity 

Interfaces and IP transmission methods for a wide range of use cases

The FR7 provides excellent connectivity for video output, IP streaming and synchronisation with other devices. HDMI video output can be used for real-time monitoring, while SDI video output delivers a RAW signal to an external recording device. Camera control, video and audio transfer, and power supply can be carried out via a single LAN cable.

LAN and PoE++ connector

The FR7 can be powered with an external PoE++ (Power over Ethernet Plus Plus) device via a standard network cable (CAT5e or higher), eliminating the need for separate power supply cabling.

DC IN connector 

If not using PoE++, the supplied AC adaptor connects to the FR7's ""DC IN"" connector to power the unit. The cord clamp on the rear panel of the FR7 can be used to prevent the power cable from being accidentally unplugged. 

IP streaming

Support for multiple protocols to meet your streaming needs 

RTSP streaming allows video output from one camera to be simultaneously distributed to up to five viewers. SRT enables high-quality, low-latency video transfer even in unstable network conditions. And NDI|HX0 connects to NDI-compatible devices such as switchers and media servers, supporting efficient live video production using Internet protocols.
