Marketwired
EMCORE Corporation (NASDAQ: EMKR), a leading provider of compound
semiconductor-based components, subsystems and systems for the
fiber optics and solar power markets, announced today the launch of
a new video transport platform based on the popular openGear format
of terminal equipment. The openGear products transport SMPTE
compliant 3 Gbps HD-SDI (1080p) video signals over fiber optic
cables for distances up to 60km. This addition to EMCORE's existing
video transport product portfolio complements the Company's
flagship Optiva® Video/Audio/Data Transport Platform with a new
emphasis on the Broadcast and Professional Audio/Visual markets.
"EMCORE's openGear product line is a complete solution for
transmitting 3G HD-SDI broadcast video over long or short distances
on a single wavelength. Major broadcasters are in the process of
migrating both fixed production and mobile O/B facilities to 3Gbps
HD-SDI transport equipment, so that the best quality 1080p
high-definition video can be used throughout the entire production
and post-production process," said Henok Tafese, Director of
Business Development for EMCORE Fiber Optics. "Our fiber products
are superior in quality, durability and performance. We believe the
addition of the new openGear fiber product family will directly
address the requirements of broadcasters for fiber optic video
transport solutions."
OpenGear products are offered in the openGear insert card form
factor. The cards fit easily into an openGear 2RU 19" rack mount
enclosure that provides both power and remote monitoring/management
capabilities through the openGear DashBoard™ management software.
OpenGear 3GHD insert cards are compatible with standard Optiva 3GHD
cards as well as the new Micro OPTICAM-3GHD transceiver units,
offering the most flexibility when choosing a fiber optic video
transport solution. EMCORE is currently completing development of
two more openGear products for DVI/VGA transport and 3Gbps HD-SDI
Video Conversion/Embedding/Transport applications.
EMCORE will be displaying these new products at the NABSHOW,
April 12-15, 2010 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas,
Nevada at Booth C10039 in the Central Hall. For more information
