ETL Systems launches
new RF technologies for broadcasters ahead of IBC 2015
08 September 2015
ETL Systems announced it has further enhanced its
successful RF over Fibre range, StingRay.
The new developments – which will be on display at IBC
2015 in Amsterdam include improved redundancy systems
for reliability, IP65-rated, weatherproof outdoor units
(ODU) and standalone component modules, ideal for
applications that require a small number of links.
A new Flyaway Unit has also been added to the StingRay
range, designed for rapid deployment of flyaway fibre
links, making it ideal for Satellite News Gathering
(SNG), outdoor or sporting broadcasts and other events
where antennas are far away from other equipment.
“These are great additions to our StingRay RF over fibre
range, which is the most compact unit of its kind, with
built in reliability from dual redundant hot-swap power
supplies and hot-swap transmit and receive fibre
modules,” said Dr Esen Bayar, Technical Director at ETL
Systems. “The StingRay inter-facilityn links have
several advantages over traditional copper coax cables,
such as lower loss to signal quality, lower risk of
lightning strikes and improvements in transition
distances.”
ETL’s new Piranha LNB Power Supply Units and new
developments to the L-Band Enigma matrix range, which is
used to improve live signal uplinks and downlinks within
a teleport, are also being launched at the IBC
Conference and Exhibition, which takes place at the RAI
Amsterdam from Thursday, September 10 Tuesday, September
15.
The Piranha is compact, expandable and customisable,
offering customers the
chance to tailor their energy consumption for specific
applications.
New technologies designed in to the Enigma Matrix range
include variable gain to balance signals and high
linearity and low noise variants to deliver optimum
performance. A passive model for high power applications
has also been made available.
“Whether it is TVRO applications for playout centres or
newsgathering and sports events which require rapid
changing of occasional use services, ETL has a suitable
product offering,” added Dr Bayar.
