OP+OHB

HD/SD, AES, RS-232/422/485, GPIO, Intercom Receiver

The OP+OHB fiber modules aggregate different types of signals into and from the fiber domain utilizing a single module. Each card is capable of integrating audio, video and data applications, and supports intercom, RS-232/422/485 and GPIO bidirectional data flow, as well as unidirectional transport of HD/SD/SDI video and balanced/unbalanced audio signals.

The OP+OHB modules enable broadcasters and production facilities to migrate all the signal types needed in a studio application onto fiber utilizing one OPTO+™ module. This highly dense solution provides significant space and cost savings, while maximizing quality and reliability through simplifying the fiber handling requirements.

These products are ideal for any applications requiring the transfer of audio, video and data information over fiber.
