SilverBULLET miniature, multirate, 3G HD-SDI fiber optic link

New Three-Inch Modules Offer the Industry’s Broadest Range of Digital Rates

ORLANDO, FL, JUNE 17, 2009 – 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 SilverBULLETTM Mini 3G HD/SDI fiber optic link at InfoComm 2009 (Booth 4629). This two-part, transceiver/receiver solution, designed for the transmission of SDI and HD-SDI TV signals over a single-mode fiber optic cable, maintains the signal quality that broadcasters demand – 5 Mbps to 3 Gbps. At just three inches in length, this cost-effective solution is ideal for a wide variety of pro A/V and broadcast applications, including video production and editing, ENG with additional uses for sports teleproduction, field production, remote camera links, cross-campus production, pre-fibered venues and courtesy feeds.

The tiny transmitter and receiver modules are portable, lightweight solutions for remote productions. Utilizing LED indicators to digitally display critical system diagnostic information including the Power On, HD/SDI signal presence and Received Optical Power levels, the SilverBULLET eliminates the need for the weight of additional test equipment. With error free pathological pattern operation, low system jitter and embedded audio support, the SilverBULLET provides a typical link distance of up to 18.6 miles (30 km).

“An economical solution for the fiber optic transport of 5 Mbps to 3 Gbps HDTV signals, the SilverBULLET is one of the broadcast industry’s smallest media adaptor solutions with the broadest range of digital rates,” says Jim Jachetta, senior vice president of engineering and product development. “It is a must-have for production at any location because it is a mobile solution that provides reliability and efficiency, all while continuing to meet our users’ high expectations for signal quality.”

Designed for quick and easy installation, the SilverBULLET supports transmission across SMPTE 424M 2.97 Gbps, SMPTE 292M 1.485 Gbps and SMPTE 259M 270 Mbps standards regardless of format. The transmitter modules also include equalization for long lengths of coaxial cable, further easing the installation process as users can incorporate the SilverBULLET at any point in the HD/SDI chain. Built for high durability, the SilverBULLET features an over-molded construction with a rugged “ST” simplex optical interface and 75 Ohm BNC (male) simplex electrical interface.

The SilverBULLET is compatible with any DC voltage from 5 to 16 volts with a four pin XLR. The jack also provides for SNMP monitoring, a critical component to network management.

MultiDyne Video & Fiber Optic Systems announced today that the MultiDyne HD-1500 was selected by Applied Electronics Ltd (AEL) and The National Hockey League (NHL) for the High Definition Goal Video Replay System.  The system was designed and installed by AEL.  Frank Jachetta of MultiDyne worked closely with Eugene McEleney of AEL and Jim Wilkes of the NHL.

One of the pieces of equipment we selected in the planning process for the truck was JVC’s GY-HD250 high-definition camcorder. We liked this particular model as it’s relatively inexpensive, yet produces very high quality video. However, the GY-HD250 does not have its own built-in fiber optic transport system. If we deployed it as received, this would have resulted in a somewhat limited range for transporting the camera’s video back to the Dotcom truck.

Also, at a lot of events, even if multicore copper cables had the video signal reach we needed, they’re just too constraining. At such productions as the Ultimate Fighting Championship and the X Games, we may have as many as five cameras shooting simultaneously throughout the venues and didn’t even want to think about hauling around that much multicore. Fiber was the only solution to getting the sort of versatility and flexibility that we’d planned for the truck. This is where our quest for the perfect fiber solution began.
