Marshall Electronics, a leading manufacturer of LCD monitors for Broadcast, Studio, Television, and Production announces the world’s first HD Monitors with direct fiber-optic video input. Marshall’s new MD (modular design) series of monitors integrate Telecast Fiber System’s TeleCube Fiber-Optic HD/SDI transmission input/output modules. These new fiber modules deliver the industry’s broadest range of digital rates while maintaining pristine signal quality that broadcasters and integrators demand.
With broadcast production facilities looking to the future with 3Gb/s SDI integration, Marshall fills the void with new fully-featured, high-end monitors with full triple-rate 3Gb/s and HD-SDI support. For distances beyond 150 meters, fiber-optic signalling is required. To fulfil this need, Marshall looked to Telecast Fiber Systems, the company that developed fiber-optic video technology for television broadcast production. Telecast’s comprehensive systems are used worldwide by the most prominent networks and stations, including high-profile live events.
“Marshall’s new MD Series offer complete flexibility and integration for a variety of applications, including live broadcast and sports production,” said Nathan Mordukhay, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Marshall Electronics. “Telecast Fiber Systems’ TeleCube modules provide integrators with a viable solution for long distance video display deployment.”
The TeleCube Modular Media Interface (MMI) family of 3G fiber optic transmitter and receiver modules include lasers, detectors, EQ, and state-of-the-art line drivers and receivers in a compact, integrated package. These easily accessible modules can be plugged into a common balanced 50 ohm footprint, radically simplifying one's choice of media and migration to 3Gb/s technology.
"We're very proud that a company as prominent as Marshall has chosen to adopt the TeleCube interface for their world class products,” said Richard Cerny, President of Telecast Fiber Systems. "We believe the TeleCube will change the way fiber is integrated into broadcast and display products, and we're thrilled that Marshall was the first to recognize this potential."
Marshall’s MD Series monitors with TeleCube fiber optic modules will become available later this year in a variety of sizes and configurations. More information on these new monitors can be found at www.lcdracks.com. Marshall’s new MD Series monitors will be on display at the 2009 International Broadcast Conference (IBC) in Amsterdam, Netherlands at the RAI Centre during September 11th – 15th.
