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.

LOCUST VALLEY, NY/LONDON, DECEMBER 18, 2009 – 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 loading up UK’s One Box Television with its  SilverBULLET Mini 3G HD/SDI fiber optic link. One Box Television, an innovative UK multi camera gallery facilities rental company, purchased the extremely lightweight, tiny transmitter and receiver modules through MultiDyne’s exclusive distributor in the UK, Bright Space Technologies.

With recent rentals to premier broadcast networks including the BBC, West End Productions and large corporations like Sony, One Box Television was looking to upgrade its equipment to further incorporate the most sophisticated HD solutions on the market into its custom-made, “One Box” broadcast rental system. As the system is used for remote productions, One Box Television selected the SilverBULLET 3G fiber optic links for their ability to transport 3G signals over long distances on a single mode of fiber, their ease of portability and their extremely compact size.

“By combining the SilverBULLET modules with our other technology, the on-camera boxes now allow full vision control of HD cameras over 100 metres, as well as feeding time code, talkback and reverse vision,” says Richard Stevenson, founder of One Box Television. “The product revolutionizes the stability of our pictures, and has allowed much longer cable runs than were previously available to us over coax cable.”

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. With error free pathological pattern operation, low system jitter and embedded audio support, the SilverBULLET provides a typical link distance of up to 30 km (18.6 miles).

“The SilverBULLET is an ideal addition to London’s One Box Television’s existing custom rental package,” says Frank Jachetta, senior vice president of sales and operations for MultiDyne. “We’re pleased that companies from around the world look to Bright Space Technologies and MultiDyne to provide state-of-the-art equipment for their system upgrades, and as rental companies look for new ways to stay ahead of their competitors in 2010, they can rely on our full product line to provide the most cost-effective, reliable and long-lasting products on the market.”

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.

Red House Mobile Productions, ZDF Win at FIBT World Championship

Posted in: HEADLINES

Mar 4, 2009 – 5:04:46 PM

To be successful at any major event, you must have the right team and right equipment in place. To win at a Bobsled World Championship event, you must also have the ability and will to tackle the elements and the course. Red House Mobile Productions (formerly Dotcom Mobile) did just that for German television broadcasters ARD and ZDF at this year’s World Championships in Lake Placid, NY. The 27-ft. HD-1 mobile-production truck was used by FIBT to help both ARD and ZDF cover the event.

The truck was located approximately 750 ft. away from the main finish deck. “We just made park and power before the weather started. It snowed for six straight days!” says Kurt Heitmann, president of Total RF Productions. “The snow never stopped, and that makes for a tough setup. And the temps were hovering around 10 degrees all week.”

JVC HD250 Camera signals were transmitted bidirectionally with the new Multidyne LiGHTBoX system. “We worked closely with Multidyne to engineer these Light Boxes for our JVC HD250 cameras,” says Heitmann. “They worked flawlessly in very extreme weather, and we are very pleased.”

Total RF Productions, which runs Red House Mobile Productions, also provided all the fiber for the POV cameras on the course. “Alex Milton, the main host tech manager, and FIBT put out 20-plus HD POV cams for this event,” says Heitmann, “and they had really great course coverage.”

ZDF was very specific and very organized with its signal-flow requirements. The broadcaster provided two EVS machines that were installed in a trailer next to the truck, and Total RF created operator positions on the second and third bench in the truck. All audio was embedded in the trucks; a Harris router and the EVS machines were used for the main part of the show.

“ZDF likes to isolate their reporters and tape segments while they have the main show feed on the air,” says Heitmann. “ZDF also built out an Avid edit room that was also in our router. We took embedded audio and video from the main host truck and added that into the router as well.” Heitmann says this type of show is why the truck was built.  “There is no need for a 53-ft. expando when a show is taking live feeds and adding three to five cameras,” he says. “This truck is perfect for that.”
