VMCs are fiber-to-coax modules that effectively eliminate the distance limitations and signal degradation of coaxial links.

Stratos International has named Bexel Broadcast Services Fiber Optic Solutions group as a national value-added distributor for the company’s digital video communications products.

The deal provides Stratos with an additional sales channel for its compact video media converters (VMCs) and accessories. VMCs are fiber-to-coax modules that effectively eliminate the distance limitations and signal degradation of coaxial links.

They are well-suited for television studios, video production houses, video switches, stadiums, amphitheaters, on-locations shoot, video production houses and other locations where digital video signals must be sent over considerable distances.

Bandwidth is not infinite, at least not in our restricted media technology enterprise. Cost and innovation are drastically affected today by our ability to interconnect signals of many types over distances no shorter than what we have been used to with coaxial video interconnections. While copper-based interconnection technology has key roles in modern facilities, increasingly optical fiber has important attributes that facilitate technology that traditional wired infrastructures cannot duplicate easily, or at least over practical distances.

Fiber optics has found a place in the broadcast facility, whether it’s providing an HD link between different floors of a building, connecting disparate cameras in a stadium or even connecting an ASI link between the studio and the transmitter. But how much does the average engineer know about this vital link in the broadcast chain? This tutorial will provide a basic understanding and some practical tips on how to install, test and troubleshoot a fiber-optic system
