An interview from the 2015 International Broadcasting Convention in Amsterdam with Neal Laneville of Anton/Bauer. With more than 40 years of proven experience, Anton/Bauer is recognized as the world’s premier provider of multi-chemistry battery, charging, and monitoring technologies for the professional broadcast, pro-video, cinema and healthcare industries. The company’s industry-standard products are compatible with every camera brand on the market today, while providing top-tier levels of safety, performance and reliability. In this interview Neal talks with us about their new CINE line of batteries and the new L-Series DSLR batteries.
The CINE battery’s compact design complements cine-style cameras such as the ARRI ALEXA Mini and RED Weapon and functions on all existing Anton/Bauer chargers. It’s also designed to be the safest and most durable mobile power solution for professional cinematographers. The CINE series delivers 12 amps of continuous power and incorporates Fuse Link technology which provides protection to surrounding battery cells, preventing catastrophic damage. The battery line also features multiple sensors to detect temperature and over-current states, ensuring optimal battery performance during regular use.
For ultimate convenience, the CINE battery series works on all existing Anton/Bauer chargers and includes a PowerTap® to power auxiliary accessories such as monitors, lights, wireless receivers and any other 14V accessory. The CINE series also includes an extremely accurate LCD that provides users with run-time information in hours and minutes. When the battery is detached, the LCD screen will display battery life as a percentage of capacity, allowing you to effortlessly track usage.
Available in September 2015, the CINE series will come in a choice of Gold Mount or V-Mount connectors. A 190 Wh option will be available in 2016.
The new L-Series batteries provide a durable solution with long, reliable run-times for Sony L-Series battery mounts. They also power 7.2V field monitors – such as the SmallHD DP7-Pro – and on-camera lighting, including the Lykos, Croma 2, Micropro 2, and Spectra 2 products from Litepanels and Manfrotto. The Single Position Charger boasts a compact design that includes an LED indicator light, a charge control switch that allows users to switch between fast or eco charging, as well as a 5V USB output port for powering an extra device simultaneously.
The L-Series Dual Position Charger can charge two batteries at once, has an easy-to-read LCD that shows each battery’s charge percentage, and possesses battery-testing functionalities to optimize battery life.
The L-Series batteries are available in two capacities: the NP-F774 is a 4400mAh (30Wh) and the NP-F976 is a 6600mAh (47Wh). Our 7.2V batteries and chargers will be available worldwide October 2015.
