The Importance of Pure Sine Wave in Broadcast and Cinema
30/01/2025
In the fast-paced world of film and television production, precision, reliability, and performance are non-negotiable. Powering professional equipment, whether cameras, monitors, or lighting, requires solutions that not only meet technical specifications but also deliver seamless performance under challenging conditions.
As a trusted leader in power solutions for broadcast and cinema, Eden and Salt-E Dog battery systems feature pure sine wave output, delivering reliable and high-quality performance. Below, we explore the significance of pure sine wave technology and why it's a game-changer for production professionals.
What is Pure Sine Wave?
At its core, a pure sine wave is a smooth, continuous waveform that oscillates with consistent amplitude and frequency. This form of AC (alternating current) closely mimics the electricity supplied by utility grids, making it ideal for powering sensitive electronic devices like cameras, audio equipment, and lighting systems used on set.

The alternative, a modified sine wave, is a more simplified, less smooth form of AC power. While cheaper to produce, modified sine wave power can cause issues such as overheating, reduced efficiency, and even damage to sensitive electronics. For this reason, pure sine wave is essential in high-stakes environments like film production, where equipment performance must be flawless.
Why Does Pure Sine Wave Matter in Film and TV?
The use of pure sine wave in the Eden and Salt-E Dog power solutions has specific advantages that directly address the needs of professionals in the broadcast and cinema industries:
Optimal Equipment Performance: Cameras, lighting rigs, and audio equipment are designed to operate on pure sine wave power. Deviations in power quality can cause humming in audio systems, flickering in lights, and disruptions in camera operation. Pure sine wave output ensures that all equipment performs as designed, without interruptions or malfunctions.
Safety for Sensitive Electronics: Modern production tools, particularly digital cinema cameras and monitors, include sensitive electronics that can be damaged by poor power quality. Pure sine wave power, with its smooth and consistent delivery, protects these valuable devices from the spikes and noise commonly associated with modified sine wave power.
Efficiency and Reliability: The higher quality of power provided by pure sine wave outputs improves the efficiency of connected devices, ensuring that they operate at their full potential. In an industry where downtime can be costly, having a reliable power sources guarantees consistent performance can save productions from technical headaches.

How the Eden & Salt-E Dog Batteries Stand Out
Anton/Bauer has a long-standing reputation for innovation and reliability in power solutions, and the Eden and Salt-E Dog battery systems continue this legacy. Both systems feature pure sine wave AC output, making them capable of supporting the most power-hungry gear on set.
In addition to their pure sine wave technology, Eden and Salt-E Dog offer several other key advantages:
Off-Grid Capability: As portable energy storage systems, Eden and Salt-E Dog can be used on remote shoots or in areas where consistent power access is an issue. With a maximum power output of 3540W for up to 30 seconds, they can handle surges from equipment with variable power needs.
Sustainability: Keeping with Anton/Bauer's commitment to innovation and reducing environmental impact, Eden and Salt-E Dog offer solar compatibility via Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) adapters, enabling productions to harness renewable energy on location.
Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS): Both systems can seamlessly switch to backup power in as little as 15ms, providing uninterrupted operation of crucial equipment.
Daisy Chain Functionality: When more power or extended operation is needed, multiple Eden or Salt-E Dog units can be
