MultiDyne Video & Fiber Optic Systems will return to the IBC conference and expo in Amsterdam this September with fresh updates to its VersaBrix (VB) Series — described as a rugged, modular fiber-optic transport platform used by broadcasters and live production professionals.
Designed for field, flypack, and permanent installs, the VersaBrix Series can manage 12G/3G/HD-SDI to HDMI 2.0, analog/digital audio, Ethernet (1/10GbE), intercom, tally, genlock, and timecode (all uncompressed and near-zero latency) over a single strand of fiber.
New to the series is a all-white chassis option for all four VersaBrix form factors, which are available in two, four, six, and ten-slot versions. These enclosures, on display at Stand 11.C12, are being marketed for studio installs or anywhere gear is visible on-camera.
“VersaBrix is truly a Swiss Army knife for signal transport,” said Jesse Foster, Director of Strategic Accounts & Products at MultiDyne. “You can move up to 18x 12G-SDI or 9x 10GbE signals over a single fiber without touching compression. And with new features like PoE++, HDMI 2.0, and our modular customization tool, we’re making it easier than ever to spec the exact system you need whether you’re in a truck, on a campus, or elsewhere that requires live broadcast.”
With a compact 1RU design and 7¼-inch chassis depth, VersaBrix is designed for smaller environments like OB trucks and flypacks.
VersaBrix supports seamless integration with CCUs, routers, and switchers, and can be used with standard single-mode fiber or SMPTE hybrid cable. The low voltage, rack-friendly solution can act remotely power over fiber.
