According to application engineer, Kari Eythorsson customers returned to the booth three or four times to discuss what Optocore/BroaMan tools could do for their applications, assisted by pens and sketchpads.
The main product focus at the show was the new addition to the BroaMan DiViNe (Digital Video Network) portfolio - which provides scalable, protocol independent, routing, repeating, transport and distribution of multiple professional video signals, such as SD/HD/3G-SDI, over optical fibre. This was in the form of the V3R-FX-INTERCOM-SDI, which conveniently packs up to six 3G/HD/SD-SDI I/O's and CWDM multiplexer, four ClearCom (or RTS) intercom ports, four Ethernet ports and four serial ports into a 1U device - neatly combining DiViNe, Optocore and SANE.
BroaMan also showed the DiViNe Repeat 48 that converts up to 24 SDI or MADI coaxial signals to optical fibre within a 1U device, equipped with dual redundant power supplies.
Another feature was that, as at previous shows, Optocore/BroaMan set up an active bi-directional audio, video and intercom link between their stand (in Hall 8) and Clear-Com (in Hall 10), using the X6R and V3R-FX-INTERCOM for Clear-Com.
Many partners brought clients who immediately invested in the BroaMan concept. Summarised managing director, Tine Helmle, "The feedback was overwhelming and quality of clients extremely high. The show was 100% successful, and we now have a number of new projects to follow up directly related to the show."
