New Solution Offers Up to 80 HD Signals and Option for a Signal Generator and HD Monitors

LAS VEGAS, APRIL 6, 2010 – MultiDyne, a premier provider of fiber optic-based video and audio transport and routing solutions for broadcast and pro A/V applications, will unveil its brand new LiGHTCuBE fiber optic field transport system at this year’s NAB (Booth C7637). In addition, MultiDyne will also introduce the option for an HD or composite signal generator as well as HD monitors on the LiGHTCuBE, giving broadcasters unprecedented ability to test and monitor signals in the field.

Capable of housing any product in the MultiDyne product line, the LiGHTCuBE represents the company’s most customizable, rugged and high-density solution 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, with 225 AES or analog audio channels. The LiGHTCuBE is also compatible with DVI, RGB and HDMI and is AC and fully battery powered.

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

“With our new LiGHTCuBE, the options for the end-user are virtually limitless,” says Frank Jachetta, senior vice president of sales and operations for MultiDyne. “Not only does the LiGHTCuBE hold more HD, analog video and audio signals than any other solution in our product line, it is also extremely customizable, even by the end-user. Our new test and monitor features provide even more value. Customers who were creating their own makeshift flyaway case to house many video signals will finally have access to a smaller, cost-effective and extremely high-quality solution for all their fiber optic transport needs.”

A major benefit also lies in the LiGHTCuBE’s size. Though this solution is heavy on HD and audio signals, the LiGHTCuBEv is a compact and extremely portable 14-inch cube design, making it small enough for sports and ENG, an announce booth setting, as well as any field application where signal density is a must. Additional carry handles allow users to “grab-and-go” for remote or on-location broadcasts. A weather resistant cover is also available.

The LiGHTCuBE is exceptionally versatile and can be used in a number of different broadcast and pro A/V situations. It is ideal for applications including large-scale outdoor arena sporting events where a user requires a rugged, highly weather-proof solution for handling massive amounts of HD signals. The LiGHTCuBE is also a perfect fit for users transporting high-density audio; for example, in a live symphony or orchestra broadcast setting with over 60 microphones, the LiGHTCuBE can manage audio bottlenecks, transporting signals seamlessly to an OB van or studio.

The LiGHTCuBE can be linked using tactical or conventional fiber to any MultiDyne solution, including the DVM-2500, HD-1500, HD-3000, HDMI-ONE, DVI-6000 as well as many non-MultiDyne products. In addition, the LiGHTCuBE offers users intercom, PL, IFB and belt pack support.  For more information on the LiGHTCuBE and its optional test and monitor features, please visit the MultiDyne website at: http://www.multidyne.com/productdetail.cfm?ProductID=247.

Electro-optical Switcher, OEO

The second type is the Electro-optical switch.  The Electro-optical switch uses a hybrid approach.  The input is Optical, the cross-point is Electrical and the output is Optical. The abbreviation for this technology is OEO.  An OEO switch supports point to multi-point or multicast switching.  Any input can be switched to every output if necessary.  Since the optical signal is converted to electrical, only one wavelength can be switched at a time.  Also an electrical cross-point only operates in one direction.  Therefore only one wavelength in one direction is supported.  MultiDyne provides a wide array of Electro-optical Fiber Routing Switchers scalable from 16 by 16 up to 288 by 288 matrix sizes.  Electro-optical routing switchers can switch any digital opticsl signal type from DVI Dual Link, Audio and Data to analog video and RGB-HV.  The EOS-4000 is the only large scale routing switcher that can support DVI Dual Link up to 2560 by 1600 or WQXGA.  When combined with the DVI-6000 DVI Dual Link and RGB-HV Fiber Optic Transport Systems, the EOS-4000 Series of Electro-Optical Fiber Routing Switchers will support all your DVI and RGB-HV signal distribution needs.

Photonic Fiber Optic Switcher

The first is 100% optical switching using 3D MEMMS Technology.  It uses electronically controlled mirrors to route optical signals.  This type of switch has an Optical input, an Optical cross-point and an Optical output.  The abbreviation for this technology is OOO.  An OOO switch provides only Point to Point switching.  One input can not be multicast to many outputs.  The mirrors can not point to more than one output at a time.  The use of mirrors does permit multiple wavelengths in both directions.  Switches are available is sizes from 8 by 8 to 256 by 256.  Pure optical switching is available for Multimode and Singlemode applications.  Optical switching supports both analog and digital optical signals.

Pure optical switching is performed using 3D micro-electro-mechanical mirror (MEMS) arrays.  Tiny mirrors are fabricated out of silicon.  The mirrors are positioned and controlled with electrostic charges.  The core of the optical switch is a one inch square cube.  The cube has an array of up to 256 input fibers on the left side as shown in figure 33.  Each fiber has a lens that focuses the optical light onto a MEMS mirror.  Each input has its own mirror.  On the right side is an array of output fibers.  Each output has a MEMS mirror.  An optical connection is made when one input mirror aligns with one of the output mirrors.

Fiber Optic Switching is ideal for video broadcast, production, security and other video applications requiring transmission, switching and replication of high quality optical signals.  The Fiber Optical Switcher revolutionizes how video is distributed and managed. It is based on sate-of-the-art field proven photonic switching technology. Laser light is switched in a pure optical format, without electrical conversion, allowing it to support transparent connections compatible with any video or data format including uncompressed HD video at 1.5 Gbps.  Also, since the switching is done optically, the switch eliminates video degradation. With a traditional electrical switcher, Electrical to Optical (EO) and Optical to Electrical (OE) conversions are required which cause signal degradation and jitter.

An optical switch supports a wide range of formats from 19.4 Mbps ATSC through 3.0 Gbps HDTV as well as NTSC, PAL, SECAM, SMPTE 259M Serial Digital (SDI) Video, broadband analog, DVI, HDMI, RGB, VGA, component, L-Band, IF, and many more. The optical switcher will also transparently switches CWDM and DWDM signals.

Optical switcher technology can be used in the field to support applications requiring reliable, high-quality video distribution such as Mobile production trucks, sports venues and professional video facilities; Campus video and surveillance networks; Remote video monitoring as well as Government and military.  Optical layer protection and fault tolerant switching can be configured for mission critical, non-stop applications.

Optical switching is extremely cost effective for any applications requiring thirty-two or more switched optical ports. It eliminates the need for expensive video transceivers to convert signals between electrical and optical formats. Switching the signals in optical format can save thousands of dollars per port in fiber optic transport equipment costs.

Fiber Optic Routing Switchers

Just about every broadcast and audio visual system today has some sort of a video and audio routing switcher.  The switcher gives the user the ability to control the source and destination of a given video and audio signal.  As more and more video and communications migrate from copper to fiber, it makes sense that the need for optical routing switcher arose.   The Optical routing switcher is a new concept for the video market, but it has been used for many years in the telecommunications industry.  It has been used to route and control telephone traffic.

As the complexity of the video and broadcast television industries becomes more and more complex with dozens of different video and encoding formats, optical switching starts to make more sense.   If all or most of our video information is in the optical domain, why not switch in the optical domain.

In broadcast or video application there may be analog video, component video, DVI, RGB-HV, VGA, HDMI, SDI,  HD-SDI, and High Definition 3G HD-SDI. If we are to switch all these signals we will need a different switcher for each type or format of video.  If we are transporting signals in the optical; domain, we will have to convert back to electric to switch and then back to fiber after the output.  If we switch optically only one switch is required.  An optical switch can switch most signals in the optical domain.  There are two basic types of optical switching.
