Contributing Editor Jim Evans rounds up recent developments in cabling
and connectors as the manufacturers address the ever-changing needs
of the broadcast and the live performance sectors...

n the field of outdoor event
and broadcast production,

performance of equipment
and the ultimate quality of
production work.

So,
for
critical

applications, in the most challenging
conditions, there is now a range of
resilient and reliable solutions, in the
shape of Neutrik's TOP (true Outdoor
Protection) range.

The new series includes the
powerCON TRUE1, etherCON and XLR
products, which have been certified in
accordance with IEC 61076-2-103, IEC
60320, UL 1977 and UL 498, and which
now also meet the requirements for
outdoor use and UV resistance as laid
out in UL50E.
"It is now possible to find
products on the market that provide
protection only against moisture and
precipitation. The sun and ultraviolet
rays are, in our view, also an important
factor because they too influence
the material and product quality
over time," says Norbert Nachbauer,
Product Manager at Neutrik AG.
Optical Cable Corp. (OCC) has
introduced a new line of SMPTE
approved fibre-optic cables and
enclosures designed to address
a variety of studio, stadium, and
deployable broadcasting user needs.

Compact Converter
Lynx Technik has announced the
availability of its new yellobrik CQS
1441, a bi-directional single-link/quadlink 4K/UHD converter for 12G, 6G, 3G
and 1.5G. The yellobrik CQS 1441 is a
compact converter that enables singlelink 12G-SDI signals to be converted
to quad-link 3G-SDI and vice versa
(i.e. quad-link 3G-SDI signals to be
converted to single-link 12G-SDI). 6G
to/from quad-link 1.5G conversions are
also supported.

Lynx Technik yellobrik CQS 1441 from
Lynx is a compact converter

With many facilities still running
in a 3G environment, there are
many requirements to integrate
4K/UHD signals in 12G SDI into the
infrastructure. The CQS 1441 yellobrik
enables users to convert UHD signals
between quad-link 3G and single-link
12G SDI. Plus, since its bi-directional,
a single yellobrik can be used for both
inputs and outputs for the application
at hand.
Another key feature of this new
yellobrik is its 12G fibre option and a
12G loop output. For example, a 4K
UHD camera or other input source
can be connected via 12G fibre to the
yellobrik's SFP fibre input and the 12G
loop connects the yellobrik to a 12G
video mixer for signal switching. The
CQS 1441 also offers a 12G fibre to 12G
coax conversion feature. Regardless
of whether customers choose fibre or
SDI, they can have the simplicity of
running 4K over a single wire.
MuxLab's
new
3G-SDI/ST2110
over IP Uncompressed Extender
was showcased at NAB recently,
demonstrating how uncompressed
resolutions up to 3G-SDI (1920×1080
@ 60Hz) can be delivered anywhere
when connecting through a 10Gig
Ethernet Switch. This new solution
interconnects and delivers unlimited
combinations of HD-SDI, 3G-SDI and
6G-SDI cameras other video sources
plus displays in point-to-multipoint
