Multidyne Expands RGB-5000 Series

Multidyne RGB-5000-ET

The RGB-5000-ET RGB/UXGA fiber-optic transport system with Ethernet and data is the latest addition to the Multidyne RGB-5000 series. It allows users to distribute one high-resolution, RGB/UXGA Video signal with 10-BaseT Ethernet and RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 bidirectional data. The RGB-5000 provides a jitter-free long-haul transport solution for high-quality, 1900x1600, RGB/UXGA via one fiber. Now the user can control the monitor or project from a remote distance. A high-resolution video signal, monitor remote control, and network data can now be transported via fiber cable for distances of 650ft. to 25 miles.

The RGB-5000 performs a horizontal genlock for fully synchronous and jitter-free high-resolution video transport. The system has been upgraded to support a higher-quality image at higher resolutions, such as 1600x1200. The video and synch jitter has been reduced to as low as 4ns to 5ns. The net result is a crystal clear image at all resolutions and refresh rates. The improvements have also extended the operational temperature range to -4 degrees F to 140 degrees F. The RGB-5000 provides a total analog bandwidth of up to 600MHz. The system supports 1600x1200 pixels over one optical fiber. Supported standards include RGB, XVGA, SVGA, UXGA, component, and analog HDTV signals. The RGB-5000 has a data throughput of 3.125Gbps. Most systems have a 1.25Gbps data throughput with 60 percent compression.

The system automatically detects the Horizontal and Vertical Synch configuration with support for synch on green, CS synch, and separate HS and VS synch inputs. The RGB-5000 supports all possible synch configurations with just one fiber. Most systems require up to five fibers to support all possible synch configurations. Fiber-optic transport allows a video signal source, such as a computer or imaging device, to be physically separated from the monitor. In many applications, space is limited in the monitor area. With flat-screen technology, very little space is required. The computers or imaging devices can be in another room. Systems are available to transport RGB video as well as audio, keyboard, and mouse control.

Applications include commodity and stock exchanges, medical and MRI displays, advertising and signs, sporting and concert video displays, videowalls, digital cinema, radar displays, air traffic control, and military information displays.
