Opticom's
BC364
Multiformat SFP Interface
is a compact, rack-based
multiformat converter for
use with a wide range of
broadcast video and audio
signals.
It provides a base unit
that comprises input
and output SFP cages.
Signal I/O formats are defined
by selecting appropriate standard
SFPs that can perform optical and/or
electrical format conversions.
The card offers a range of options
including
distribution,
format
conversion,
monitoring,
and
wavelength management including
CWDM.
Such a wide range of functionality
allows the BC364 to act as a "toolkit"
for systems engineers as well as a
high-quality converter for any fixed
installation.
Multiformat SFPs can convert to and
from composite, HDMI, DVI, optical,
and 3G-SDI.
Units can also be used to regenerate
optical signals from multimode to
singlemode, repeat optical signals, or
re-map wavelengths within existing
fibre systems.
The BN366 4K Fibre Link is designed
for the cost-effective transport of 4K
UHD signals over fibre, providing the
transport of 4 x 3G-SDI signals over a
dual fibre link.
Using premium-grade, broadcastquality components, units have
already been successfully deployed
to cover a series of major sporting
events using the latest 4K Ultra-HDTV
broadcast cameras.
Alternatively the BN366 provides
a sturdy, compact conversion unit
that allows the outputs from up to
four cameras to be transmitted over
fibre. Units are fully compatible with
Bluebell's BC Series of modular cards
and frames.

BVE Launch:
Bluebell Opticom Caddie-LB 4K

The BN623 Audio, Data, Intercom
Link is the latest addition to the
Bluebell BlueNano range of compact
fibre optic interfaces providing
bidirectional analogue audio and serial
control data over fibre.
It is specifically designed to link
remote panels in an intercom system
back to the main central routing
position. The robust design allows
the unit to be deployed in OB or
flypack applications. The BN623
can be supplied in multimode,
singlemode, and CWDM variations to
suit all applications, offering a perfect
complement to the BC323, BC550,
and BC323-63 modules. A modular BC
Series card is also available when a 19inch rack-based solution is required.
Bluebell Opticom will launch the
Caddie-LB 4K, specifically designed
for OB and deployable applications.
Caddie-LB 4K provides a single cable
link between cameras and ENG/OB
units. Features include four 3G/HD/SDSDI video paths from the camera's onair audio, intercom, and control data.
Based on field-proven technology,
the units offer a range of signals to the
operator including programme video,
audio, comms, data, and genlock for
camera control and synchronisation.
All signals are multiplexed onto two
fibres to ensure easy and quick system
rigging. Units have already been
successfully deployed at the 2014
Commonwealth Games and at concert
venues for high-profile UHD tests.
