Communications Specialties Inc. (CSI) is in booth SL8025, which happens to be just across the aisle from the Penton booth (Broadcast Engineering’s parent company) in the South Lower Hall. In the CSI booth, Derek Miranda walked me through a live setup of the company’s new Pure Digital Fiberlink 3150 Series, which allows users to transmit HD/SD-SDI over one single mode or multimode fiber.

The company also offers the Pure Digital Fiberlink in 7500 Series and 7502 Series versions. They use no compression or sync stripping.

At my meeting with Utah Scientific this morning, CEO Tom Harmon showed me the UTAH-400/XL. The router offers a 1056 x 1056 matrix in a single equipment rack while using industry-standard BNC connectors. The router is readily scalable from 288 x 288 to 1056 x 1056 and beyond using a single family of matrix building blocks.

The company also has introduced two new additions to its master control switcher product family. The MC-4000 delivers two complete signal processing channels in a 3RU package, offering larger broadcasters a fully integrated system for demanding on-air operations. For smaller applications, the MC-40 provides a standalone package that integrates the company’s MC-400 channel branding board along with an eight-input board that allows the MC-40 to be used separately from the UTAH-400 routing switcher.
