Bluebell ShaxX-DUAL-SO-ST - Dual Channel SMPTE Hybrid Alternative Connection Kit

The ShaxX System from Bluebell has been designed to provide power insertion to broadcast cameras fitted with Standard SMPTE 304M hybrid connectors, thus allowing them to be remotely powered over the hybrid cable. The ShaxX-DUAL allows two cameras to be powered from one mains supply over their own individual hybrid cables.


Power can be inserted and transferred to the remote camera which can be up to 300m away.

When combined with the Shax-CCU, cameras can be remotely deployed using the ordinary singlemode optical fibre network that may exist within a stadium.


This system allows the user to replace the fibre/copper hybrid cable between the camera and the CCU with standard fibre cable and relay all the communications and signals.

This frees the camera from being tethered to a local mains supply.

The ShaxX/Shax system is perfect for Stadiums, Arenas and Concert Halls that have preinstalled fibre networks.


The ShaxX-DUAL is enclosed in a robust and ruggedised aluminium enclosure, ideally suited to Outside Broadcast and Fly Away applications. The ShaxX-DUAL can also be combined with the BC364 multi-format interface to carry signals from multiple cameras over a single cable. This can help reduce and simplify rigging and installation time.


Front panel LEDs give instant operational feedback of the link status between each camera and CCU.
