A broadcast camera is provided that includes a camera housing having connectable camera housing portions to define a front, middle and rear sections of a camera body. An electronic component is provided in the front section of the camera housing and a power transformer is mounted in the rear section of the camera housing. A duct housing is mounted within the camera housing to form a cooling duct that extends through the camera housing, with a front duct housing that is positioned adjacent to the electronic component and that separates the electronic component from the cooling duct. Moreover, heat sinks extend within the cooling duct in one of the upper, middle and lower front duct sections and are mounted to be in thermal communication with the at least one electronic component. A fan is mounted within the cooling duct to draw air into the cooling duct.

Ducted cooling system of a camera

An apparatus for a video camera facilitates the use of the camera by an operator. A shoulder mount may comprise one or more pads that may be movably attached to a mounting or reinforcing plate and coupled to a mechanism that facilitates the rotation, translation and/or tilting of the pads. One or more releases may be positioned to permit an operator to actuate the mechanisms and to unlock and reposition the pads with respect to the camera body. A tripod configuration may be defined in which all pads are fully confined within the volume of a recess of the camera body, thereby permitting attachment of a tripod or other mechanical mount.

Adjustable shoulder pad

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for configuring audiovisual equipment. An image captured by an imaging sensor of a camera may comprise an encoded pattern that includes information that can unlock a feature or function of a camera or other audiovisual equipment the information is extracted from the encoded pattern using an image processor of the camera, or communicatively coupled to the camera. The information may comprise encrypted information which may be decrypted using a unique identifier of the camera. The information may be transmitted to downstream audiovisual equipment and may be used to unlock features and functions of other devices. The other devices may include another camera.
