Enhances Efficiency, Slashes Setup Times: MultiDyne Technology by Cornerstone AV
In the world of live event production, efficiency, flexibility, and reliability are paramount. For companies such as Cornerstone AV, the renowned event production company known for its services in scenic development, content management, and live-event execution, these qualities are essential to delivering seamless experiences. Enter MultiDyne's FiberSaver Remapping, a groundbreaking technology designed to optimise the use of fiber optic infrastructure in live event production environments.
The FiberSaver Remapping system, utilised by Cornerstone AV in collaboration with MultiDyne, a company that shares their vision of applying broadcast-quality performance to the live event space, serves a dual purpose. Firstly, it solves the problems of limited space for, or availability of, more than one or two fiber runs. Secondly, it overcomes the challenge of moving a multitude of signals over a finite number of fibers, a common hurdle in live event production.
The FiberSaver Remapping system offers several benefits for live event production companies like Cornerstone AV. By maximising fiber utilisation, it increases the channel count, leading to cost savings through reduced need for additional fiber cabling. The system's enhanced flexibility and scalability allow for real-time remapping of signals based on changing production needs, dynamic network expansion, and the ability to add new channels without major infrastructure overhauls.
Improved signal management is another key advantage. The FiberSaver simplifies complex fiber networks by reducing physical fiber count while maintaining signal integrity. It also ensures that signals remain high quality even when multiplexed over shared fiber, reducing latency and signal loss. The technology's robust and reliable operation ensures it withstands the rigours of live event deployment and teardown cycles, while its low latency and high bandwidth cater to the demands of live broadcasts and performances.
The FiberSaver is compatible with various video formats (SDI, HDMI) and audio, making it versatile for different production setups. It also works seamlessly with other MultiDyne fiber solutions already in use, enhancing overall system synergy. One such solution is the VB Series "Build a Box" solution, a portable solution for transporting video and ethernet signals often used in a last-mile scenario, moving signals from FiberSaver to projectors.
Another solution, the SMPTE-HUT Series, simplifies operations in a hybrid world by removing limitations from hybrid fiber and copper cabling. The SMPTE-HUT device is powered through a TAC-12 single-mode fiber cable, reducing cable length significantly. This reduction in cable length translates to at least several hours of labour savings before and after the event.
MultiDyne can customise solutions to support various needs at Cornerstone AV. For instance, the SMPTE-HUT is a universal camera transceiver that powers long-lens cameras, reducing cable length by feeding the drive rack over fiber. This is particularly useful in live event production, where space and cable management are crucial.
In summary, for live event production companies like Cornerstone AV, MultiDyne’s FiberSaver Remapping offers significant cost savings through reduced fiber cabling, greater setup flexibility and quick adaptability to changing event needs, a simplified, scalable fiber infrastructure that supports high-density video and audio signal transmission, and a robust and reliable solution tailored for demanding live events.
This technology ultimately helps streamline live event workflows, improve production quality, and enhance the ability to deliver seamless live experiences. For more information about MultiDyne's products, visit www.multidyne.com.
