PowerTap
Receptacle - This exclusive Anton/Bauer feature allows a
camera mounted light, wireless microphone, or other D.C.
accessory to be powered from the camera battery. The
integral cable of the popular Ultralight 2 includes a
PowerTap plug that mates directly with the PowerTap
receptacle in the Gold Mount. The PowerTap is rated at 10
amps and is internally fused for safety.
Automatique - This feature of the Gold Mount is standard with most
new camcorders. A special power circuit in the Gold Mount
mates with the VTR roll signal in the camera/camcorder
allowing an Ultralight to turn on/off automatically in
sympathy with the VTR. This assures that every shot is free
from the objectionable shadows caused by overhead lights,
yet battery drain is kept to a minimum.
InterActive Viewfinder "Fuel Gauge"
- The Gold Mount includes the special InterActive contact
that transmits the fuel computer signal from the DIGITAL
battery to the viewfinder "Fuel Gauge" included in many
cameras/camcorders.
Future Compatible
- Unlike older box style battery holders, the Gold Mount is
fully compatible with the many different sizes and shapes of
the new cell technologies that are under development. The
Gold Mount will also allow old and new technology batteries
to be used together interchangeably thus avoiding the
inevitable sudden and costly transition to a new battery
format.
Universal Application
- Gold mount brackets can be easily installed on all
portable equipment including color monitors, scopes, and
microwave units. This eliminates all the problems of having
many different and incompatible battery/charger systems and
allows spare camera batteries to be used on test equipment
(and vice versa).
A wide variety of Gold Mount accessory battery holders allow
the same batteries that are normally camera mounted to be
also worn as a belt or mounted two-at-a-time for unlimited
run-time.
