Lightweight Solution Offers up to 40 HD Signals, Option for a Signal Generator and HD Monitors

AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS, SEPTEMBER 10, 2010 – MultiDyne Video & Fiber Optic Systems, a premier provider of fiber optic-based video and audio transport and routing solutions for broadcast and pro A/V applications, is introducing the HalfCuBE portable fiber optic field transport system at this year’s IBC2010 (Hall 2, Stand A54).

The HalfCuBE allows production teams to bring once-in-a-life-time events to life. Designed for the fiber optic field transport of composite, HD video, PL, IFB, audio and more, the HalfCuBE can solve the challenges presented by multiple audio feeds by allowing for up to 40 channels over just one fiber. The HalfCuBE can also solve the challenges of camera video, viewfinder and intercom feed requirements for both fixed and roaming production cameras. The HalfCuBE is format friendly, ready for standard cameras or the latest 3G HD 1080P production cameras.

In addition, the new test and monitor features make the HalfCuBE especially effective for in-the-field signal monitoring. With an HD monitor and signal generator on either end of the product, users can test the circuit even if the camera has not arrived. Further, the HD test signal generator option also allows users to send the test pattern down the line, or to send the signal from the studio end directly to the HalfCuBE. This function allows users to monitor the camera output and the signals arriving at the shoot, and can be added to any solution in MultiDyne’s LiGHTBoX product line.

“Our new HalfCuBE further extends the options for the fiber optic transport needs of our customers,” says Frank Jachetta, managing director, MultiDyne. “The HalfCuBE offers a flexible, smaller, more cost-effective and extremely high-quality solution that is also customizable, even by the end-user, just half the size and capacity of the MultiDyne LiGHTCuBE.”
Ready to run on batteries for field use or 110/220 VAC power, the 7-inch high design makes the HalfCuBE compact and extremely portable, while still supplying multiple HD and audio signals. A carry handle allow users to “grab-and-go” for remote or on-location productions. A weather resistant cover is also available.

The versatile HalfCuBE can be used in a number of different broadcast and pro A/V situations. It is ideal for applications including graduation ceremonies on the football field, basketball playoffs in the arena or a recital in a packed auditorium. The HalfCuBE can also solve the high performance RGB-HV & DVI display requirements for the overflow rooms, lobby entrances and ball room parties.

The HalfCuBE can be linked using tactical or conventional fiber to any MultiDyne solution, including the DVM-2500, HD-1500, HD-3000, HDMI-ONE, DVI-6000 in addition to many non-MultiDyne products. The HalfCuBE also offers users intercom, PL, IFB and belt pack support. For more information on the HalfCuBE and on MultiDyne’s line of products and customization options, please visit MultiDyne at booth C4823 or at www.multidyne.com.

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. For more information on the DVI-ONE-E and MultiDyne’s other DVI and HDMI offerings, please visit www.multidyne.com.

SD-4100, SD-4200 and SD-4400 Expands Company’s Broad Range of Solutions, Targeting Pro A/V Market

LAS VEGAS, JUNE 9, 2010 – MultiDyne Video & Fiber Optic Systems, a premier provider of fiber optic-based video and audio transport and routing solutions for broadcast and pro A/V applications, will unveil its new entry-level line of SD-SDI fiber optic field transport systems – the SD-4100, SD-4200 and SD-4400 - at InfoComm 2010 (Booth C4823), further extending the company’s reach in the pro A/V market.

In applications where fiber is no longer an option but a necessity, MultiDyne’s new SD-4100 one-channel fiber optic transport system, SD-4200 two-channel fiber optic transport system and SD-4400 four-channel fiber optic transport system address the transport needs of productions transitioning from composite video based systems to serial digital based solutions, but do not yet require more advanced platforms.

“End users who do not yet require HD but need to transition from analog to digital can do so with our new line of cost-effective SD-SDI products,” says Frank Jachetta, managing director, MultiDyne. “With MultiDyne’s design philosophy, customers can begin the transition with our SD-SDI cards and then upgrade the card to HD or even 3G, as their production needs change. With our good, better, best range of options, we offer the simplest to most sophisticated solutions for all their fiber optic transport needs.”

The MultiDyne SD-4100, SD-4200 and SD-4400 support rates of 19.2 Mbps to 270 Mbs, capable of operating over both multimode and single-mode fiber. The link distance for the SD-4100, SD-4200 and SD-4400 is up to 12.4 miles (20km) at 270 Mbs for single mode fiber. Each card equalizes the incoming SD-SDI stream, re-clocks the signal and then transmits at 1310nms. The receiver card accepts four fiber optic inputs and converts them to four electrical outputs, which are re-clocked and line buffered.
