Neutrik proudly announces the launch of a revolutionary fiber optic camera routing system.
The opticamSWITCH is the ultimate solution for fiber optic camera routing within broadcast studios. The device allows switching of unlimited camera positions between several
studios and control rooms, eliminating the need for high-maintenance, risky matrix patch fields using SMPTE patch cables.
The device works on trendsetting, silica-based PLC (planar lightwave circuits) equipped with TO (thermooptic) switches. The innovative and patent pending design guarantees rugged
and safe non-blocking fiber plus camera power switching without any moving parts. The LAN-based remote control software simplifies work, shows switching and camera status, and
enables broadcast production automation.
The first system has already been delivered: The first opticamSWITCH system is in operation at tpc* and acts as big-switch for 5 studios and up to 4 control rooms.
*tpc is part of SRG SSR and is responsible for production and techniques of television, radio and multimedia for SRF (Swiss radio and television) and realizes broadcast solutions
on customer order.
