Bluebell Opticom At NAB
A

t the 2017 NAB Show, Bluebell
Opticom will highlight Edgware,
its new range of IP- gateway products
that serve as a bridge between
current
3G-SDI-based
broadcast
infrastructures and those built on IP
technology. Edgware products make it
possible to use BNC and XLR technology
to transport broadcast signals over
IP networks. The user interface
remains the same, but the transport
technology is new. The result is that
broadcast facilities can save money by
repurposing existing equipment for IP
delivery.
NAB Show visitors will see Bluebell
Opticom's BCX-760 Series 10G
Ethernet point-to-point fibre link,
which is now in full production. The
BCX-760 is a camera-back interface
that allows easy connection and
signal transport between
a camera and an outside
broadcast truck or a base
station. A compact and
powerful interface that slots
neatly between the camera body and
the battery, the BCX-760 is designed

to convert a basic camcorder into a
rackable professional camera channel.
In a first for the industry, BCX-760
interfaces map all signals presented at
the back of any broadcast camera onto
a 10G Ethernet point-to-point link,
ensuring safe, robust, interferenceimmune, and high-quality transport
over much longer distances than have
been possible before.
One-Cable 12G-SDI Connectivity:
12G-SDI or 4K UHD TV is commonplace
today, so many productions are
now shot in 4K even if they don't get
broadcast in that format. Bluebell
Opticom has created a suite of fibreoptic transport products that provides
a single coax or fibre connection to a

BCX-760 Series
10G Ethernet point-to-point fibre link

12-Gbps SDI video interface for 4K/
UHD applications.
Making its first appearance at the
2017 NAB Show will be the BC390, a
mux/demux card designed to associate
UHD with multiple SDI signals. The
BC390 receives four 3G-SDI inputs
and serialises them to one 12G-SDI
output on both BNC and fibre ports
simultaneously, or vice versa. This is
the first of a range of modules that
will up/down/cross-convert HD-SDI,
3G-SDI, 6G-SDI, and 12G-SDI. The
BC390 and its standalone counterpart,
the BN390, were created for the 12G
market, but they can be implemented
in multiple ways for multiple
applications. For example, if an HD
or 3G-SDI CWDM network is running
out
of
wavelengths,
the BN390 can put four
3G-SDI signals onto one
wavelength,
thereby
quadrupling the payload for
very little extra cost.
Also on display will be the BC365,
a set of modular cards from Bluebell's

range. Designed for Bluebell's BC
Series 19-inch rack-based system, the
BC365 cards provide a dual-channel
12G-SDI link over single-mode fibre.
The BC365T converts electrical 12G
signals to fibre, while the BC365R converts fibre signals to 12G electrical.
