Argosy, a leading UK-based
international supplier of HD broadcast cables and studio infrastructure
products, will showcase its latest range of fibre solutions
and HD products at IBC 2009 (Stand no. 10.D55, 11-15 September
2009) at the RAI exhibition centre in Amsterdam.
Fibre Management Tools
IBC will see the European debut of its fibre management tools
including the SDI fibre video converters, patch panels and
its BendBright-XS ruggedized fibre optic cables.
With its reduced bend radius single mode fibre cable, BendBright
provides good resistance to macro bend attenuation allowing
it to be handled in the same way as traditional copper cable.
The benefits of which include added versatility, reduced installation
time and minimal fibre damage, making BendBright-XS best suited
for deployment in confined spaces patch cables, high density
areas and outside broadcast vehicles. The BendBright-XS cable
is the first fibre of its kind on the market and is unique
in its ability to fulfil all three relevant ITU recommendations
— G.652.D, G657.A and G.657.
Argosy also provides a range of single and multi-mode fibres
which can be supplied in patch, breakout or in multi-way loose-tube
& tight buffered constructions with 4 to 864 fibres as
per requirement. These cables incorporates internal strength
members enabling them to be very versatile and suitable for
both internal and external applications whilst maintaining
a low weight and shorter bend radiuses for ease of installation.
Visitors to IBC will also see the Argosy copper to fibre media
converter. This converter is already setting new standards
by offering greater distances for the transmission of SDI
signals - up to 20km depending on bit-rate being used - at
one of the lowest price points available on the market today.
It works by receiving an HD-SDI electrical input and converting
this into a single mode optical signal and supports the transmission
of SD-SDI (143-540Mb/s) and HD-SDI (1.485Gb/s). Both transmitter
and receiver provide automatic equalization and input re-clocking
to ensure signal integrity.
Equipment Racks
At IBC, Argosy will demonstrate its latest range of equipment
racks which offer an expanded cable tray capacity. The rack
is available with depths of 800mm, 900mm and 1000mm. In the
800mm depth version, a total cable tray width of 1200mm can
be achieved - permitting greater flexibility during both the
installation and wiring stages as well as an even distribution
of weight. This additional space also allows for improved
airflow for cooling purposes. The intermediate mounting profile
is adjustable, ensuring additional flexibility, saving time
and reducing installation costs.
HD Infrastructure Products
Visitors to the Argosy stand will see a range of HD products
from across Argosy’s portfolio including an array of
IMAGE HD video cables, connectors, high density HD video patch
panels, MDUs, routers, audio jack fields, KVM switches, and
Sonarae, its audio monitoring system as well as a variety
of video accessories.
“Argosy is probably best known for its IMAGE HD video
cables which are used by broadcasters and systems integrators
around the world. Today we also provide one of the broadest
range of HD infrastructure products that address the ever
changing needs of broadcaster’s as they transition to
HD — and strive to achieve improved workflow efficiencies
and connectivity,” said Mike Purnell, director at Argosy.
“We will make further introductions at IBC as we continue
to explore new developments that meet the broader needs of
our clients.”
