Bluebell Opticom Ltd, Stand 10.F24, IBC Show, Amsterdam RAI
IBC will see the introduction of a new signal transport platform for Outside Broadcast and Infrastructure applications. With the drive to 4K and 3G systems the PW140 Series from Bluebell offers a universal SDI signal transport over fibre in a compact 1RU frame. At the heart is a processor which provides simultaneous multiplexing and de-multiplexing of the signals presented to it from the input/output cards. The initial base configuration provides 6 x bidirectional HD-SDI signals over 2 fibres or 10G Ethernet. With the addition of audio, data and Ethernet I/O cards, the PW Series offers an optical backbone for all demanding signal transport applications. When used with CWDM optical multiplexing 96 x HD-SDI signals can be transported over a single fibre.
We will also be demonstrating Net Caddie, a new compact camera interface using the revolutionary Stagebox by BBC Research & Development technology. Net Caddie allows HD-SDI to be injected directly into a standard network environment, bringing IP to the camera. Net Caddie transforms the entire camera's bidirectional linear control, audio and video signals into packet based IP protocols, all on a single Cat6 cable to simplify workflows and rigging. Operators can now plug cameras direct into a venues Gigabit infrastructure for the distribution of live camera feeds. By using Stagebox by BBC Research & Development technology with 100MB/s AVC-I compression, the HD-SDI is converted and carried over the network in full broadcast quality video. This allows a remote camera to be used directly in the production environment and provides video, audio and ancillary information over a time synchronous network. Most importantly the system is completely synchronised providing an IP equivalent to a genlocked SDI system.
IBC will be the launch of an extensive range of stand-alone products, including the new BlueLite and Caddie-LB 3G, specifically designed for Outside Broadcast and deployable applications.
BlueLite is a particularly cost effective solution for 3D camera positions and units have already been tested with compact remote cameras and portable camera cranes and jibs.
Caddie-LB provides a single cable link between cameras and ENG/OBs . Features include two 3G/HD/SD-SDI video paths in each direction, on-air and IFB audio, intercom, and Ethernet data. Based around field proven technology the units offer a range of signals to the operator including program video, audio, comms plus data and genlock for camera control and synchronisation. All signals are multiplexed onto 2 fibres to ensure easy and quick system rigging.
We will also be showing new enhancements to the popular BC Series, a complete suite of fibre optic interfaces to suit all current and projected broadcast standards. Based around a modular 19 rack mount system, multiple signal formats can be carried over multimode, singlemode, TDM, WDM and CWDM transport solutions. Enhancements include several new cards including BC860 10/100/1000 Ethernet, TDM-720 and TDM-730 for HD with serial or 10/100 data, BC501 for composite video and the BC625 offering 4 x bidirectional analogue audios. The new BC363 will also offer multiple format I/O and complete wavelength management.
Bluebell Opticom designs, manufactures and distributes high quality fibre optic transmission equipment for the broadcast, telecommunications and satellite industries.
Our products are used for the critical delivery of video, audio and data services at most premier live world-class sporting events. The applications range from robust multiple outside broadcast links to complex optical infrastructure systems.
