BroaMan IBC news
30-11--0001BroaMan has announced the release of a new interface card for its Mux22 video, audio and intercom I/O module - providing AES access and Riedel connectivity.
IC AES becomes the latest addition to the company’s long line of intercom devices, which includes IC422-Clear-Com; IC485-RTS, and IC444-Line I/O + GPIO).
The new board integrates AES/EBU-based intercoms with the BroaMan and Optocore networks, allowing all serial data between the matrix and panel to be passed through the system.
A single board offers four ports with matrix or panel pinout; each port is equipped with a single AES/EBU input and AES/EBU output offering two audio inputs and two audio outputs (in total 8-In/8-Out).
As with all BroaMan/Optocore products the new board is AES3 transparent - enabling it to transport the complete 32-bit AES3 frame - and thanks to this all data embedded in user bits remains unaltered.
All ports can be used either for intercom or standard AES/EBU connectivity and the new IC AES board can also be delivered with Riedel pinout enabling direct connection of Riedel intercom systems.
Finally, the IC AES board can be integrated not only into the BroaMan Mux22 but also Optocore X6R/V3R-INTERCOM devices; each single input channel on the IC AES board is integrated with the Optocore network and can be distributed to other Optocore interfaces (eg MADI, AES3, analogue).
“This latest board further expands the flexibility and transmission options. Many clients, such as Videohouse in Belgium, are using this option in their MUX22 and I am delighted that this is proving such a successful series,” said BroaMan MD, Tine Helmle.
Broadcast Manufactur manufactures high-quality products necessary for the infrastructure of broadcast applications such as Studios, OB-Vans or Sport Events.
The devices transport all types of broadcast signals, including digital and analogue video, digital and analogue audio, digital and analogue intercom, and all forms of control data, on copper and fibre infrastructure. If required, this includes format conversions, as well as routing of signals based on automatic or manual rules, up/downscalers, frame synchronisers, and many more features.
As a service company, we build devices and deliver solutions to customer requirements. To implement this, we use a pool of the best available technologies, and mainly those based on open standards:
These include 3G-SDI (SMPTE); Camera Links; WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) for Video; Optocore; SANE; MADI; IP-based systems for Audio; Analogue, AES and IP based systems for Intercom; IEEE802 (Ethernet); serial data; DMX; MIDI; CAN for control. We strongly believe in the usage of open standards where possible for maximum future proofing.
