Germany - Current HD picture signals are demanding and require a high data rate. Transmission distances beyond 10m are therefore often fraught with problems.

With the new HDMI-over-Fibre system from German manufacturer Cardinal, DVM signals with a maximum resolution of 4K x 2K - including RS232 and infrared data - can be transmitted hassle free over distances of up to 300 m via an OM3 multimode line.

The robust and compact housing (known from the DVM- 120 active series) is available in two versions: as stand-alone housing with the dimensions of 68 x 36 x 145 mm, as installation housing to fit into the modular SYSBOXX frame or the 19" SYSPANEL 5XL panel for audio distribution.

The connectors for the power supply, HDMI and IR/ RS232 have been designed as robust HICON all-metal versions and are thus perfectly suitable for the tough use "on the road".

"Our customers have often requested robust and road-proof active systems for the transmission of video and audio signals. And to us it was also obvious to bring in the proven HI-FIBER4 fibre-optical connector," explains Peter Rieck, key account & distribution Manager at Sommer Cable, aus. "With the Cardinal DVM HDF kit we now comply with those wishes while also integrating 4K and IR/RS232 into the transmission in one go."
