Mutiny True 12G Isolator

Overview

The super lightweight 12G isolator system was co-developed with FreakshowHD to help protect your 12G port on your camera, monitor, or other 12G SDI device with active isolation. Instead of removing the 12G SDI cable from the camera when powering up/down the camera and between battery swaps, you simply switch from the signal (SIG) to isolation (ISO) mode. Once switched to ISO the red LED turns off and your signal feed to your monitor/wireless TX is cut while maintaining ground at all times.  You then swap your battery with a fresh one. Once everything is on, you switch back to signal (SIG) the red LED turns on and your video feed is now live again.   The isolator does require power via a 2pin 0B input but it also passes through that power to a 2pin 0B connector on the output end.  Once the isolator is in ISO mode it retains isolation when power is removed between battery swaps.

Mutiny's 12G isolator features two levels of protection.  The first level of protection is an ESD smart circuit that is AC coupled preventing any DC present on the signal. The second level of protection is a logic switch which is a mechanical switch with electronic switching, that when engaged, cuts the signal path to the camera and to the monitor / wireless transmitter, keeping only ground connected at all times.  This arrests any power spikes from going back to the camera's sensitive 12G SDI port via the signal wire which is the center pin of the SDI cable.  

12G SDI cameras that can be protected with this isolator:  BLACKMAGIC (PYXIS, URSA MINI PRO), RED (KOMODO / KOMODO-X / V-RAPTOR S35/VV/XL), Sony (Venice / Venice 2 / FX6 / FX9 / FR7, ARRI (Alexa 35), Canon (C300 MKIII/C500 MKII) and more for up to 4K 1000fps at 23.98-30hz output.
