beyerdynamic, a leading manufacturer of exceptional microphones,
headphones and wireless microphone systems, introduced the KE 800
Camera Receiver at NAB 2006. Designed for professional camera
applications, this UHF receiver is rugged, portable, and easy to
operate.
In broadcast situations, where time is often a factor, the KE 800 can
be a timesaver by automatically selecting the right transmission
frequency for each situation. Using its ACT-Function (Automatic Channel
Targeting), the KE 800 searches for an interference-free frequency to
transmit via infrared to the matching handheld or pocket transmitter of
beyerdynamic’s Opus 800 and Opus 500 Mk II wireless systems and locks
in the frequency.
“Reliability and versatility are essential, especially in electronic
news gathering situations, which can vary greatly depending on location
and conditions,” comments Alan Feckanin, Video and Production Business
Area Manager for beyerdynamic USA. “The KE 800’s pilot tone recognition
and adjustable squelch ensure a safe reception, free from noise and
signal dropouts – even in the most unpredictable operating
environments.”
The KE 800 comes equipped with an LC-display that indicates the battery
level of the transmitter, frequency and channel, squelch, AF and RF
level. Due to the LOCK-function on the KE 800, transmissions can be
protected against inadvertently pressing buttons. Accessories, such as
adapter plates to connect the receiver directly to camera slots of
Ikegami or Sony cameras, turn the KE 800 into a universal tool.
