The move comes as fibre transport for high bandwidth video, audio and data is becoming more widespread in Pro A/V applications. Large venues such as stadiums, corporate and college campuses as well as medical cenres are implementing fibre infrastructures. Therefore a more reliable and high performance switch, which can remotely route signals to disparate destinations is required, says the company.
"There is a real convergence happening in the video market with Pro AV applications turning increasingly to HD and 1080p, much like traditional broadcast," said Sean Gordon, sales director, video products. "With deeper HD penetration fibre transport is the only practical transport medium; optical switching and routing therefore becomes key in creating efficient video architectures."
