CP Communications called upon Barnfind Americas (U.S. presence for Norwegian manufacturer Barnfind Technologies) to design and supply a fiber-based signal transport system to White Cherry Entertainment, the production team responsible for the American Theatre Wing’s 2016 Tony Awards.
“CP Communications was tasked with providing White Cherry Entertainment with a system that could not only offer up the versatility required for a live broadcast, but do it from a very small footprint,” says John McCluskey, Director of Sales at Barnfind Americas. ”Maximizing functionality in compact quarters combined with uncompromising reliability were key. The BarnFind BarnOne BTF-02 fiber optic system proved ideal for the situation and became an essential component of the overall project and its success.”
Barnfind Americas designed a modular system comprised of two BarnOne-02 frames, each with 8 channels of HD/SDI to optical conversion and a pair of BT-House-LGX-CWDM-16 multiplexers, and one (1) pair of Ethernet to optical SFPs. Producers were able to occupy up to 8 HD/SDI electrical sources from BNC to optical fiber either individually on a one-to-one basis or multiplex them together over a single fiber link. The system also allowed them to transport Gig-E network traffic over the same fiber link and offered CP Communications’ support technicians the modular flexibility they sought while saving valuable rack space.
