ASIA-PACIFIC BROADCASTING

Nevion, a provider of video transport solution provider for broadcasters, telecommunications service providers and government entities worldwide, has launched the FlashCase, a rugged portable housing for use with up to five standard Flashlink fibre transport or signal-processing modules.

FlashCase connects camera sites to production trucks or other facilities through a simple and lightweight optical-fibre connection. Use of optical-fibre cable rather than triax cable increases distance capabilities and eliminates ground current loops while allowing for multiple signals in the same cable, simplifying cabling infrastructure and reducing set-up time.

Designed for maximum portability, resistance to the elements and versatility, FlashCase features five Flashlink ports, flexible back plane and fibre options, as well as full monitoring and control capabilities. The modular unit offers low power consumption with no fans to clean or replace, has the smallest PCB footprint in the industry, and is extremely light. Fully loaded, it weighs less than 11 pounds (about 5kg).

While FlashCase is a natural evolution of Nevion’s Flashlink products, the company said it was one of its customers who provided the inspiration for FlashCase, arriving at Nevion’s Norway headquarters with conceptual drawings in hand. The customer, who has been an enthusiastic user of Flashlink products over the years, asked if Nevion could create a unit to provide even greater durability and flexibility for its remote video applications.
