Extends DVI and HDMI Distance Limitations

LAS VEGAS, JUNE 9, 2010 – MultiDyne Video & Fiber Optic Systems, a premier provider of fiber optic-based video and audio transport solutions for broadcast and pro A/V applications, is introducing the DVI-ONE-E, a low-cost solution that allows either DVI or HDMI to operate over ONE fiber, at InfoComm 2010 (Booth C4823). Designed to extend DVI and HDMI distance limitations, this cost-effective solution is the first to offer users bi-directional communication over ONE fiber for full HDCP copyright and EDID functionality.

Recognizing the need for high-resolution graphics and video image transfer over long distances, MultiDyne’s DVI-ONE-E focuses on maximizing visual quality, with pixel-for-pixel image transport, a 100 percent 24-bit scan rate and no contouring or bit reduction. The fully uncompressed DVI-D or HDMI signal is transported over ONE fiber supporting WUXGA up to 1920×1200 and is 100 percent transparent with no frame dropping.

The DVI-ONE-E supports DVI and HDMI signals with the use of a cable adaptor. MultiDyne’s DVI-ONE-E also responds to market demand for a locking HDMI-connector, seamlessly transporting the HDCP and EDID information along with the HDMI or DVI video signal. The product also allows transmissions of up to 1000 meters over multimode fiber and ensures that HDCP encoding remains intact and unmodified throughout the entire process.

“The transport of DVI and HDMI copyright protected material continues to be very important for the A/V, home theater and permanent installation markets,” says Frank Jachetta, managing director, MultiDyne. “With the DVI-ONE-E, installers can now send video from a central DVD or Blu-ray player to a monitor or display to distances of up to 1000 meters away – and most importantly, over a single fiber. With more complex installations of HD video over longer distances, and in projects ranging from schools to hotels and conference centers, this is a major benefit for our users.”

The DVI-ONE-E optical transport design is ideal for secure video and audio communications in command and control facilities. The lack of EMI characteristics also makes the DVI-ONE-E the perfect choice for medical instruments and airborne applications. This solution includes external power supplies and a USB power port. Alternatively, a free USB port can be used from the video source to power the transmitter and a USB port on the monitor can power the receiver, eliminating the need for two external power supplies.

MultiDyne’s DVI-ONE-E fiber link can be the solution for a wide variety of applications including medical and MRI displays, advertising and signage, sporting and concert video displays, video walls as well as in the commodity and stock exchanges.

NEW YORK, N.Y., June 2, 2010 – From political conventions to the news programming live from the Super Bowl, MultiDyne’s LiGHTBoX® field fiber transport system has helped CBS News deliver the top stories to viewers at home. MultiDyne, a premier provider of fiber optic, video and audio transport and routing solutions for broadcast and pro A/V applications, supplied its award-winning LiGHTBoX® to CBS News as part of their equipment for the transport of video from multiple locations during the broadcasting of various news programs.

“Broadcasting our regular news programming live from multiple locations, from the sand on South Beach to Sun Life stadium during Super Bowl, required that the equipment be very portable,” says Mel Olinsky, director of bureau operations, CBS News. “Working on location, we also have to transport HD signals over long distances, which would have been impossible with copper. The LiGHTBoX field fiber optic transport system provided all of our connectivity, over one multiple strand fiber cable, with no length restrictions.”

CBS News has used the LiGHTBoX extensively covering several major events, including political conventions and most recently, the Super Bowl. During the week leading up to the Super Bowl, MultiDyne’s LiGHTBoX transported video for several newscasts, including “The CBS Early Show,” “The CBS Weekend Evening News” and “Face The Nation,” which all broadcast live from different locations, including South Beach in Miami and Sun Life Stadium Miami Gardens. For these broadcasts, CBS News required the option of monitoring both HD and SD signals and wanted to transport video back and forth from various locations in South Florida to the network’s broadcast trucks, which were often parked far away from the shooting locations. A battery powered, bi–directional HD field fiber transport system designed for field and harsh environment applications, the LiGHTBoX was the ideal, portable solution to transport signals over distances as far as three football fields away during each on-location shoot.

Frank Jachetta, Managing Director, MultiDyne, stated, “On-location ENG and production can be very hectic, especially leading up to major events.” He concluded, “The LiGHTBoX takes some of the stress out of a live, remote shoot, as it is incredibly easy to transport, rugged enough for any field condition and extremely reliable. We’re thrilled that our LiGHTBoX plays a role in making sure that on-location CBS News broadcasts go off without a problem.”
CBS News continues to use the LiGHTBoX units for remote broadcasts. For more information on the LiGHTBoX, please visit www.multidyne.com.
