Mobile trucks, OB vans and facility managers can now offer expanded video and audio capacity when hosting major events without having to deal with additional fiber cabling and the associated costs. The MultiDyne Fiber-Saver transport accepts SDI video signals ranging from 270Mbs up to 3Gbs and converts them into optical signals. These signals can then be combined with other optical signals of any wavelength and then transported over one fiber.

“With the ever increasing signal counts at live events as well as corporate facilities, there becomes greater need to increase capacity over existing fiber infrastructure,” says Frank Jachetta, managing director, MultiDyne. ”The Fiber-Saver allows users to take up to 18 of their existing fiber units and send them down one fiber. Imagine the alternative of running more fiber through an existing stadium or under a city street.”

The MultiDyne Fiber-Saver has the capacity to handle any combination up to 18 existing transmitter/receiver or new copper HD-SDI feeds that are then combined and sent over just one single-mode fiber. Consider the system expansion capability offered by the MultiDyne Fiber-Saver; an 18-strand fiber cable could now provide enough capacity for 17 new feeds in addition to the signals handled by the MultiDyne Fiber-Saver that uses only one strand from the 18-strand cable.

The MultiDyne Fiber-Saver cards have been designed for the openGear frame, expanding MultiDyne’s openGear product offerings. This is an ideal method to expand system capacity over one fiber, using only 2RU of rack space. The SNMP Dash-Board monitoring system provides for both local and remote monitoring of the transport.

The SatLink SL-2150 not only offers an alternative to coaxial cabling in teleport earth stations, but it has been designed to provide very low carrier-to-noise ratio and linear performance, resulting in a cost-effective and technically superior installation for the satellite signal user. MultiDyne products have traditionally been engineered to give industry-leading performance when compared with any other fiber optic links, the company’s SatLink SL-2150 links have ultra wide dynamic range so that auto gain control is not required to cope with changing signal intensity caused by meteorological conditions. The SatLink SL-2150 offers a range of options to address a variety of installations, such as 75or 50impedance with either BNC or F connectors. The standard link utilizes a high performance DFB laser, but for less demanding short haul applications, a lower cost FP laser option is available.

“MultiDyne is excited to introduce the new SatLink SL-2150 links, offering a compact and economical solution for RF fiber transport,” says Frank Jachetta, Managing Director, MultiDyne. “The introduction of the SatLink SL-2150 signifies entry into the RF fiber transport market for MultiDyne and brings us to the point of providing each and every signal type of transport over fiber for pro-AV and broadcast.”

The SatLink SL-2150 is a stand-alone unit that may also be rack mounted on the 1RU MultiDyne RMT triple rack mount panel. It is available with ST, LC or FC optical connectors and includes a 5 VDC power supply.

Mobile trucks, OB vans and facility managers can now offer expanded video and audio capacity when hosting major events without having to deal with additional fiber cabling and costs to cover the event. The MultiDyne Fiber-Saver transport accepts video SDI signals ranging from 270Mbs up to 3Gbs and converts them into an optical signal. The transport also handles the optical signals from existing transmitters and receivers that were previously operating on and using up the limited fiber infrastructure within the facility. The MultiDyne Fiber-Saver can manage these reassigned or displaced transmitter and receiver pairs, freeing up fiber to allow for more signal capacity.

“With HD taking hold, our users, especially in stadiums and arenas, are looking for a cost effective means to easily expand their signal capacity to handle the increase in HD cameras,” says Frank Jachetta, managing director, MultiDyne. “When using a traditional fiber infrastructure users would have to pull in more fiber cables to handle the required signal expansion.”

The MultiDyne Fiber-Saver has the capacity to handle any combination up to 18 existing transmitter/receiver units operating at 1310nm to 1610nm or new HD-SDI feeds that are then combined and sent over just one single-mode fiber. This represents an increase in signal capacity of up to 400%, for each four existing transmitter/receivers that are connected through the MultiDyne Fiber-Saver. Consider the system expansion capability offered by the MultiDyne Fiber-Saver; an 18-strand fiber cable could now provide enough capacity for 17 new feeds in addition to the signals handled by the MultiDyne Fiber-Saver that uses only one strand from the 18-strand cable.

The MultiDyne Fiber-Saver card has been designed for the openGear frame; expanding MultiDyne’s openGear product offerings. This is an ideal method to expand system capacity over one fiber, using only 2RU of rack space. The SNMP Dash-Board monitoring system provides for both local and remote monitoring of the transport.

AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS, SEPTEMBER 10, 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, will introduce a low-cost, compact, advanced version of its HD-Multi-Link to attendees at this year’s IBC 2010 (Stand 2.A54).This updated version of the HD-Multi-Link is designed for the drop-and-repeat, daisy-chain optical distribution of SD-SDI and HD-SDI signals on single-mode fiber. It offers full compatibility with SMPTE-compliant HD-SDI products such as the company’s HD-1500. Applications for the HD-Multi-Link include production monitoring and distribution; announcer booth, event presentation, pool and stadium house feeds; campus distribution; and applications that require the optical drop-and-repeat of HD-SDI with HDMI monitoring capability.

HD-Multi-Link with electro-optical DA provides a mid-point fiber distribution breakout box for one copper HD-SDI output with a signal quality of up to 1.5G HD-SDI. An optical input and optical output transports the signal to the next device. The HD-Multi-Link also provides an HDMI output for local video and audio monitoring. HD-Multi-Link supports audio and data that has been embedded externally and provides for audio de-embedding from the HD-SDI stream for output on HDMI, or on separate RCA connectors.

“The HD-Multi-Link offers a compact and economical solution for the distribution of HD-SDI via fiber and copper in a drop-and-repeat configuration” says Fred Scott, vice president of sales and business development, MultiDyne. “The HDMI output allows the use of inexpensive HDMI monitors instead of costly HD-SDI devices. Fiber is the only choice when transporting high bit rates over long distances. MultiDyne offers the simplest to most sophisticated solutions for all of our customers’ fiber optic transport needs.”

SMPTE standards supported by HD-Multi-Link include SMPTE 292M, 1.485 Gbps and SMPTE 259M 270 Mbps.

The portable HD-Multi-Link features a rugged metal housing and is available with ST optical connectors and includes a 5 VDC in-line power supply. External battery operation from 5 to 16 VDC is also supported.

MultiDyne - LiGHTCuBe

Capable of housing any product in the MultiDyne product line, the LiGHTCuBE and HaLFCuBE represent the company’s most customizable, rugged and high-density solutions to date. Designed for the fiber optic field transport of composite, HD video, PL, IFB, audio and more, the LiGHTCuBE can be configured for as many as 80 HD-SDI, SDI or composite video paths, while the HaLFCuBE allows for up to 40 channels over just one fiber optic cable. Both products can also be configured with DVI, RGB and HDMI and ready to run on batteries for field use or 110/220 VAC power.

In addition, the new test and monitor features make both the LiGHTCuBE and 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 LiGHTCuBE or 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.
