DFT-12 Fiber Transport System

DFT-12 Series by Joseph Fiber Solutions
The DFT-12 EXP and DFT-12JR fiber transport systems are making their debut at IBC2014. Requiring only 2 RU, each features 12 paths of 3G/HD-SDI and ASI signals over one or two fibers. Additionally, modules for AES or analog audio, MADI, 1 Gb Ethernet, RTS intercom, POV interface (genlock and video), or data can be fitted into the four available expansion slots to provide a complete signal transport solution for remote announce booths or split feeds. More modules are in development.

All signal paths for any unit in the DFT Series are user-configurable in pairs of two in order to meet any send/receive requirements, and redundant power supplies are standard to ensure a complete backup of critical paths. Full-fiber redundancy with automatic fail-safe switchover is available as an option for all DFT Series frames.

Camera Tote Portable Fiber Optic System

Camera Tote by Joseph Fiber Solutions
The JFS Camera Tote system offers a new option that enables quicker operator deployment of point-to-point com¬munications. Built into an indus¬try-standard Pelican enclosure, the compact Camera Tote system provides water-resistant protection of field electronics in the harsh environments encountered by news and field crews. An internal filtered fan ensures that extreme temperatures will not be a factor when the system is used in exposed locations.

The system’s standard signal complement includes 4×4 3G/HD-SDI, 4×4 analog audio, 1 Gb Ethernet, and wet intercom. The unit is also available in a 2-RU rack-mount model for permanent installation. Fiber options include Lemo, ST, OpticalCon Quad, or MX. When four fiber connectors are used, two units can be daisy-chained for multicamera applications.

Company Quote:
“We are looking forward to another successful IBC with our host, Bluebell Opticom. We hope you’ll stop by the stand to see our new fiber solutions, which are designed to make remote broadcasting faster and easier.”
