Broadcast Fiber Optics
Broadcast is an extremely dynamic industry, with advances such as high-definition video (i.e. HDTV) and multi-channel audio putting ever greater demands on a company’s data transmission systems. Fiber optic technology, with its ability to deliver digital, high-bandwidth, and low signal loss data streams is ideally suited to cope with these needs.
Rugged and High-Performance Fiber Optic Systems:
QPC’s products address the challenges of employing fiber in the broadcasting environment. The company’s fiber optic broadcast products are designed to provide multiple channel high-bandwidth links. QPC manufactures a variety of rugged multi-channel connector models, such as its proprietary E-Link Connector Family, that are easy to connect together in the field and have high reliability with minimal signal loss. These connectors withstand extreme environmental demands and they are specifically designed for real-time transmission of high definition broadcast (HD) signals. Hybrid connector options, that include electrical power for remote devices such as cameras, and expanded beam connectors that provide even greater shock and vibration resistance, are also available.
The company’s products are particularly well-suited to the harsh environment of field-shoots where delicate standard fiber optic systems would be likely to fail. In addition to its ruggedized connector systems, QPC has extremely tough fiber cables, such as the BRUcast Broadcast Fiber Optic Cable, designed to survive high-traffic areas but are still easy to deploy. QPC’s cable assemblies are optimized to withstand the rigors of installation challenges such as difficult cable pulls, high tensile loading, and severe crush occurrences. These factors make QPC’s products a practical and reliable way of reaping the benefits of high capacity data transmission in challenging environments without the delicacy normally associated with fiber optics.
Broadcasting Applications:
QPC’s systems are ideal for outfitting a van or truck as a mobile studio capable of mixing and programming on-site. Our ruggedized multi-channel connectors and cable assemblies, stored on our lightweight stackable cable reels, can easily be deployed to capture reliable HD signals. QPC’s hermaphroditic connectors allow the cable assemblies to be daisy-chained together, making it simple to extend camera range without adapters. Power for the cameras may be supplied using hybrid connector options that add electrical connections to the fiber channels.
Broadcast companies can also benefit from QPC’s Installation and Systems Integration Service, which can expertly custom outfit your broadcast van, truck, or work area to your requirements with state-of-the-art fiber systems. All installations are completed by highly qualified fiber optic technicians who will travel to your site if necessary. QPC also excels at setting up stadiums, arenas, stages, and other event forums, beginning with the planning phase and all the way through installation and documentation. By no means limited to installing fiber optic cables, QPC also installs traditional copper wires, COAX cables, telephone, computer network cables, etc. along with any necessary racks and housings. QPC offers turnkey solutions to our customers.
