Neutrik has released its opticamSwitch system for fibre-optic camera routing.
The system allows switching unlimited camera positions between multiple studios and control rooms within a broadcast facility and eliminates the need for high-maintenance, risky matrix patch fields using SMPTE patch cables.
The device features silica-based planar lightwave circuits equipped with thermo-optic switches. This design ensures rugged and safe non-blocking fibre plus camera power switching without any moving parts.
The LAN-based remote control software simplifies operation, displays switching and camera status, and enables production automation.
