Joseph Electronics Named Exclusive U.S. Distributor for ERECA Optical Fiber Transport Systems

Joseph Electronics (JE), the premier one-stop shop for the broadcast industry and provider of fiber termination and custom fiber solutions, today announced that the company has been appointed as the exclusive dealer for ERECA, the France-based innovative provider of optical fiber transport systems for the broadcast industry.

For more than 30 years, ERECA has been developing and manufacturing optical fiber transport systems, enabling leading broadcasters to manage and distribute multiple signal formats efficiently within facilities and from remote broadcast sites. ERECA s flagship product, the Stage Racer 2 (SR2), for example, was a central component of the broadcast of the 2019 Tour de France, with 12 units employed by France Television and Euromedia to provide all the signals for worldwide broadcasting of the event.

"ERECA s optical fiber transport systems are well known and respected in the international market, and we re pleased to be able to offer them to our customers in the USA, said Carl Roszczybiuk, director of engineering for Joseph Electronics. "The SR2 is a great example of the kind of innovation that will serve our customers well, accepting virtually all standard broadcast formats from baseband to IP, with easy setup and incredible flexibility."

The Stage Racer 2 is a complete optical fiber transmission, routing, distribution, and processing solution, decentralized and scalable, for any broadcast event from simple OB interconnect to complex star, ring, or linear topologies extended throughout an entire television operation. It also supports long distance transmission for remote production allowing exchange of content between distant locations. It is designed to accept all kinds of signals on the same device without external adapters (SDI video up to 12G direction configurable, genlock, analog audio, AES3, MADI, Dante-AES67, Ethernet, Serial, GPIO, and IP SMPTE 2110 hardware ready). The SR2 combines ease of use, effectiveness, and low cost into a single system.
