Stratos Optical Technologies will unveil its VMCR-CWDM transport package, its latest family of digital video optical multiplexing/transport racks that lets clients pre-configure 16 unidirectional or eight bidirectional channels in a single 19in 1RU package.
The product is compatible with all digital video rates from 19.4Mb/s ATSC through uncompressed SMPTE 292M HD rates.
For users, the studio-facing connectivity is a traditional 75ohm coaxial BNC port. Behind that is an array of media converters that feed optical signals into a CWDM that outputs all the signals from the studio-facing side to a single transmit and receive optical pair. The VMCR-CWDM package lets users plug a BNC-terminated coax video signal line into one rack and mate it to the appropriate coax port in another, using fiber as the transport media.
