IHSE USA 485 Series Supports
Fibre/Cat-x Media Conversion
I

HSE USA, a global provider of
ultra-fast and secure KVM matrix
switch and extender solutions for
broadcast related environments
and government agencies, has
announced the introduction of a
new family of ﬁ bre/cat-x media
converters and cross-repeaters.
The new 485 series were
speciﬁcally designed for applications
requiring cross conversion of
cat-x to fibre, repeating cat-x
or ﬁbre interconnects for longer
distances, or connecting redundant
path operations for zero downtime operations.
These cost effective media
converters/repeaters can be used
with IHSE USA's vario, compact, and
enterprise line of switch products.
The 485 series is the perfect cost
savings solution when only a few
signals need to be shared longer
distances between buildings or
multi-level ofﬁce buildings.
Signals available on a cat-x
matrix switch system can be
converted to ﬁbre for transmission

and converted back to cat-x at the
receiver (or vice-versa). This is useful
in bridging buildings with copperbased switch/extender systems that
are located some distance apart.
High-quality signal processing and
integral ampliﬁcation ensures
no signal degradation or
transmission artefacts.
These devices can be
deployed between extenders
as point-to-point or between
extenders and matrices. For
instance, IHSE USA's cat-x
matrix systems can easily be
retroﬁtted to support longer run
ﬁbre requirements by adding a set of
485 cat-x to ﬁbre media converters.
For critical path operations,
the 485 series is offered with a
redundant path option. Each 485
series includes two parallel path
interconnects (RJ-45 or LC ﬁbre)
for primary/secondary operations.
A typical scenario would have the
local extender connected to the 485
unit with the primary connection
to a KVM matrix switch and the

IHSE USA's 485 series family of
ﬁbre/cat-x media converters and
cross-repeaters

secondary connection as a by-pass
directly to the remote extender. In
the event of a switch failure, the
local and remote extenders can
still communicate as a direct pointto-point path.

The 485 Series family features bidirectional data ports allowing any
port to be conﬁgured as an input or
output. No additional conﬁguration
is required.

T

he NT Series is Nautel's awardwinning line of low-power digital
UHF TV transmitters in power levels
of 150 W, 250 W and 500 W. An
ideal platform for low-power TV

broadcasting, retransmission or
gap-ﬁller applications, the NT Series
is backed by Nautel's renowned
worldwide support.
Compact Design With Built-In

Low power NT Series TV transmitters support Nautel's award-winning AUI for realtime, built-in instrumentation and control - available in power levels of 150 W, 250 W,
and 500 W

Filter - The NT Series packs a lot
in a small package with its builtin digital modulator and even a
mask filter in the NT150/250. A
clean design permits easy access
to all components for simpliﬁed
maintenance.
Advanced Modulator - Utilising
one of the most advanced softwaredeﬁned modulators available today;
broadcasters can upgrade the
exciter to meet changing standards
without replacing hardware.
Outstanding Performance
/ Adaptive Pre-Correction -
Sophisticated linear and non-linear
adaptive pre-correction ensures
outstanding spectral compliance
and the highest standard of digital
transmission performance.
Broad TV Standards Support - All
major digital transmission standards
are supported including DVB-T,
DVB-T2, ATSC, and ISDB-T.
Efficient - The NT500 uses
OPTIPOWER, a market-leading,
enhanced, adaptive pre-correction
technology for maximum
optimisation of transmitter power
efﬁciency and/or transmitter MER
performance. Optipower is available
as an option on the NT150/250.
Web Remote And Diagnostics - An
intuitive web-based user interface
gives broadcasters both local and
remote access to Nautel's renowned

Advanced User Interface (AUI). An
array of parameters is available in
real-time at your ﬁngertips giving you
comprehensive control capabilities to
ensure your transmitter is performing
at the highest level possible.
Seamless Input Switching -
Widest possible range of inputs
including: ASI; SMPTE-310M; TSoIP
(Gigabit Ethernet); and, Optional
Receiver Input (ATSC). Plus, monitor
and switch these inputs remotely
using the AUI.
Flexibility - Designed for quick
and easy deployment, simple
air-cooling and an efficient 185264 Vac switching power supply
make the NT Series a suitable
match for all facilities. Optional
rebroadcasting and main/alternate
standby configurations can be
selected to address your speciﬁc
transmission needs.
Reliability - Nautel has built its
reputation on rock-solid, on-air
reliability. The NT Series shares that
heritage by way of a conservative
design to produce as much as 50%
more than its rated power.
Nautel is one of the world's largest
manufacturers of broadcast radio
transmitters with an established,
four-decade-long reputation for
quality, reliability, technological
innovation and outstanding
product support.
