Digital Content Producer has the scoop on a new offering from Camplex, a live shoot camera control system called the Pro-XHD.

“Using a single Cat-5 cable, the Pro-XHD’s dockable camera adapter conveys the camcorder’s HD analog component video to the production control center, along with SD composite video, operator intercom, and camera program audio. Delivery of the SD video signal allows the user to use a conventional SD (rather than HD) composite video monitor for preview. Over the same Cat-5 cable the Pro-XHD control unit simultaneously sends operating power to the remote camcorder, along with intercom and camera tally signal.”

Note that this is not a remote control system, it is designed for multi-camera shoots where each camera has an operator. No word on pricing.
