 The CopperHead camera-mounted transceiver, fitted with Power Plus power adapters, allowed Sharaf's crew to transmit all broadcast signals from the cameras through SMPTE hybrid fiber optic cables. |
Sharaf used the CopperHead to transmit signals from two cameras at the tank to an uplink truck located outside the park, more than 300ft away, for live broadcast to a network morning news program.
The segment was filmed at 4 a.m. in order to provide the live feed for the news program as it aired live on the east coast. Sharaf brought in a Bebee light mounted on an 82ft. pole in order to illuminate the tank and create the appearance of daytime as they taped. The CopperHead camera-mounted transceivers, fitted with Power Plus power adapters allowed Sharaf's crew to transmit all broadcast signals from the cameras — including video, audio, intercom, camera control, genlock, and power — through SMPTE hybrid fiber optic cables.
