Product launch: New BarnMini-01 and 02
2014 NAB Show attendees will see one of the first live trade show demonstrations of Barnfind’s new range of BarnMini solutions that deliver simple and reliable point-to-point digital extension. The BarnMini-01 provides 2 x BNC RX7TX and 1 x SFP (MSA standard or 3rd party SFP), while the BarnMini-02 comes with 2 x SFP and is optimal for converting multimode to single mode fiber, and single mode to multimode fiber in addition to handling any other application.
Product launch: ASI to IP converter card
Barnfind’s newest card bridges the traditional video world with IP. The module converts 4 x ASI signals into 1 x IP stream and will be available in the BarnOne BTF1-09 Special frame.
Demos of latency and jitter free4K transmission
Barnfind, in cooperation with business partner Village Island, will feature transmission tests for 4K 60p 10bits4:2:2 base band signal over a single fiber using a single-frame Barnfind multi-format media converter on either side of the optical link. Village Island’s VillageSTUDIO 4K play-out system will generate high-quality 4K content. The signals, muxed through Barnfind’s CWDM, will be sent from one monitor to another with no latency or jitter.
Product launch: New control interfaces
Barnfind’s recently established partnerships with several control panel companies and network management systems offer additional control choices. New integration options include Skyline
