Bluebell introduces TDM-300 mux/demux system
Based around the ever popular BC Series modular format, Bluebell has added the TDM-300TA/RA card to its expanding range of broadcast fibre optic interfaces.
Responding to the needs of broadcasters to provide ever increasing numbers of feeds between Outside Broadcast trucks and across venues, the TDM-300 offers multiple broadcast services on one singlemode fibre.
Fitting in an ultra compact 60 x100 mm footprint the TDM-300 multiplexes four digital video streams including one HD signal plus 8 analogue audio channels, 2 x RS232 and 2 x RS422 onto a single optical wavelength.
Cards can be supplied with wavelengths providing bidirectional links over the same fibre and low latency ensures that the cards are ideally suited for live broadcast applications.
The TDM-300 is also available in CWDM versions allowing up to 16 electrically multiplexed cards i.e. a potential of 16 x HD, 48x SD, 128 x audio and 32 x data signals to be carried on one fibre.
A video only variant, TDM300, with 1 x HD/SD-SDI plus 3 x SD-SDI is also available.
All formats are now shipping.
A copper feed is also provided allowing the full multiplexed signal to be routed through a standard 3G-SDI router and infrastructure.
When combined with other cards from the BC Series range, powerful fibre optic networks can be configured to suit almost any application.
Systems can be built around a 19” rackmount system or stand alone “Probe” enclosures specifically designed for rugged mobile applications using military tactical fibre or hybrid cable.
We accept all major Credit Cards.
