with the associated cameras, in advance. In addition, we carried out, in advance, various smaller productions with the opticamSWITCH. For the “worst case” we would have been prepared with a manual patch solution using opticalCON couplers, which Neutrik generously made available to use. Were the installation of the system and the test phase consuming? Since we still had productions ongoing, and the time frame was very small, the planning was somewhat more complex to win a little more time for the installation and to have a plan B in case of upcoming problems. During installation, we were actively supported by Neutrik. The fibre optic cables to the studios had to be assembled on site. With the support of Neutrik, which brought the whole assembly infrastructure

including assembly specialists to our studio, the cabling was, together with our tpc employee Martin Sturzenegger, connected to the opticamSWITCH in a very short time. Right after that, the first test took place. All studios and cameras were connected and switched in all combinations. Right away, the system ran without any major mistakes. I must say, on the installation day, when the first major cables were cut, I felt a little uncomfortable. The pressure of the upcoming elections, with the possibility of problems and too short cables, weighed upon me. But this bad feeling disappeared very quickly. Christian Ganahl, product manager at Neutrik, had on his side, just as I did on mine, planned the preparations to the last detail. The work has gone quiet and very professional. The collaboration between the Neutrik and tpc ag was just perfect.

Camera Switching
Neutrik’s opticamSWITCH provides fibre optic camera routing within broadcast studios. The device allows switching of unlimited camera positions between several studios and control rooms, eliminating the need for high-maintenance, risky matrix patch fields using SMPTE patch cables. The system offers: • Robust switching of unlimited camera positions between several studios and control rooms; • Non-blocking, PLC-based (planar lightwave circuits) fibre plus camera power routing; • Convenient handling with the up-to-date LAN-based, remote control software. The camera switch works on silica-based PLC (planar lightwave circuits) equipped with TO (thermooptic) switches. The innovative and patentpending design guarantees rugged and safe non-blocking fibre plus camera power switching without any moving parts.

The LAN-based remote control software simplifies work, shows switching and camera status, and enables broadcast production automation.
