Barnfind Adds Products,
Enhancements and Upgrades

At IBC visitors will see more control options, advanced functionality,
and improved configuration capabilities from Barnfind Technologies...

B

arnfind
Technologies,
manufacturer of a multifunctional, signal neutral fibre
transport platform, has returned
to IBC to show a host of new and
enhanced products that enrich
the company's core BarnOne and
BarnMini families with control and
configuration upgrades and additional
functionality. The improvements also
reflect Barnfind's commitment to
green practices by packing numerous
functions into one rack unit and
keeping power consumption as low as
possible. The additions and upgrades
will be demonstrated on Barnfind's
stand 8.A33.
"This year Barnfind is delighted
to have an OB van on our stand so
visitors will have the opportunity
to witness a real-world example of
our unique platform at work," says
Wiggo Evensen, Barnfind's CEO. "In
addition, our team will be available
to demonstrate how we do more
with less gear, in less space and with
less money, and explain how we've
grown from a start-up in 2012, to a
global company with 60 international
partners that excels in fibre transport,
stage
box
technology,
signal
redundancy, multiple camera control
and much, much more."
New for Europe at IBC
BarnOne with Web Server and
control via Telnet: Barnfind's new
web interface provides efficient
installation,
configuration
and
operation of one or multiple BarnOne
frames. The (free) firmware update
allows access to a new version

of BarnStudio control software
with functionalities also available
via OpenGear Dashboard (ROSS
Video). The frame now offers Telnet
protocol in addition to SNMP for
communication
for
enhanced
responsiveness and reliability.
Signal Redundancy Switch:
Barnfind's
latest
firmware
release includes significant added
functionality via an integrated
signal redundancy switch that can
be configured for all BarnOne's
outputs. Regardless of signal format,
bandwidth, optical or electrical, each
individual output can be configured
with "alternative" inputs and can
all run in parallel or individually.
The switch supplies full control of
signal presence, quality and status,
and provides a complex, advanced
redundancy system. Functions can be
configured and monitored in the new
BarnStudio web interface.
BarnOne
BTF1-10-AESemb offers an eightchannel embedder and de-embedder
for AES audio. The frame includes the
standard main board with 16 x SFP
ports and 8 x BNC top board included
and offers the same functionality as
other members of the BarnOne family.
Users can identify SDI signals in the
frame to use for (de) embedding.
BTF1-10-AA offers 8 x analogue
audio input, 8 x analogue audio
output converted to/from MADI. The
frame includes the standard main
board with 16 x SFP ports and 8 x BNC
top board included. The BTF1-10-AA
offers the same functionality as all

18 bi-directional links (resulting in 36
channels on one single fibre). The HiLo
SPFs are designed to be used with a
standard optical CWDM multiplexer.

Barnfind BarnMini

BarnOne frames. MADI signals can be
identified in the frame for analogue
audio transport.
Barnfind Stage Box Break-out
panel system: Barnfind's new Stage
Box Break-out panel allows front
panels to be customised based on
the required connectors. A selection
of eight modules will serve as
connection points to one or more
BarnOne or BarnMini units. All eight
modules and the 2RU chassis are
made of solid aluminum, with high
performance connectors. Barnfind
offers connectors for BNC's, RJ45, XLR
female and male, LEMO for Camera
and LEMO for CCU, LC's among others.
This solution makes installations
simpler, safer and much more flexible.

CAM-CCU
Barnfind 18 x CAM-CCU on one
fibre: Barnfind's unique CAM-CCU
transport solution has expanded
from supporting nine cameras to
18 cameras on a single fibre thanks
to Barnfind's new and innovative
HiLo SFP system. The sophisticated
and compact system eliminates the
need for heavy and expensive cabling
by allowing up to 18 cameras to be
multiplexed into one single mode fibre
for bi-directional traffic over long
distances. An internal matrix router
allows the user to switch any camera
to any CCU. Other signals, such as
MADI, SDI, SDTI, Ethernet, CVBS, AES,
and ASI, can also be multiplexed into
the same fibre. The total solution fits
in only 2RU per side.

HiLo SFP
New HiLo SFP system for 36-Channel
CWDM: Barnfind HiLo SFPs are
designed to meet a need for higher
density of signals in one single fibre.
By using half of the spacing in each
wavelength of the CWDM range, the
HiLo SFPs can double the capacity of
the traditional CWDM bi-directional
transmission. This enables a total of

Barnfind Stage Box Break-out panel

input, full redundancy and the
capability to have integrated CWDM/
DWDM multiplexing.
Barnfind's
"no-cost"
control
software,
BarnStudio,
can
be
downloaded from the website. The
platform is also compatible with
many third party control systems such
as Skyline/Dataminer, ScheduALL,
LAWO (LSB/VSM), BFE/KSC, DNF,
TSL, RASCULAR, BlackMagic, Ross
openGear/DashBoard etc. Barnfind

offers the world's
most sophisticated
CAM-CCU
solution
capable
of
supporting 18 x Cam-CCUs on a single
fibre with low jitter and latency.
Barnfind is known as the Champion's
company; found in most sport
Championships around the world.
Barnfind is privately owned and
has over 60 partners and resellers
worldwide.
