Oxygen DCT announces 3Gb/s router and distribution products.Addressing the needs of high-end HDTV technology users, Oxygen DCT announces the immediate availability of its new 3Gb/s router and distribution products. The first router, a 16 x 16 ships in mid March to BAFTA ( British Academy of Film and Television Arts) as part of a multi-level audio and video routing system. To compliment the routing switcher the company has also launched two new 3Gb/s distribution amplifier racks. This pioneering new 3Gb/s technology gives 4:4:4 HDTV users considerable equipment cost savings compared to using dual link routers, halves installation costs and simplifies switching. In addition to 4:4:4 ( 3Gb/s) signals, the router can switch 4:2:2 HDTV (1.485Gb/s) signals currently used by most HDTV systems as well as legacy SDI (270Mb/s) signals, providing unprecedented flexibility as well as a future proofed solution for most HDTV users.. The router is just 1RU and has 16 inputs and outputs, with automatic cable equalisation and adaptive re-clocking. It can be used standalone or as part of a multi-level system. It is IP addressable via a built-in web server and can be controlled from standard push button control panels, RS-232 or SMNP agent. Redundant power supplies are an option and at just £5490 it is exceptional value and sets the standard in not just leading edge technology, but with price as well. There are two new 3Gb/s HDTV video distribution amplifier racks to compliment the router. The first has eight 3Gb/s VDAs each with 4 outputs, in just 1RU and for users requiring a greater number of outputs there is a version with four 3Gb/s DAs, each with 8 outputs, also in a 1RU format chassis. Each VDA is independent of each other and therefore different format SDI signals can be used in each 1RU rack, allowing users to amplify standard definition (270Mb/s), HDTV (1.485Gb/s) and 3Gb/s signals together, when required, giving unprecedented flexibility. Each VDA is equalising and has automatic reclocking to ensure signal integrity. Redundant power supplies are an option here as well. These exciting, market leading developments are the first in a whole new line of 3Gb/s systems products, which already includes passive splitters and 2x1 switchers. These products demonstrate Oxygen DCT's innovative thinking and position as a leading technology company, dynamically addressing its customers needs. Other News Articles:
