Barnfind Technologies Chosen For Rio Event

Barnfind Technologies has revealed that more than 100 of its BarnOne frames are to be sent to Rio de Janeiro this summer, during a competitive sporting event.

The BarnOne platform is based on the universal SFP (Small Form Factor Pluggable) offerings. The company also allows clients to integrate other SFPs into the BarnOne platform, other than those in its portfolio. The platform offers all functions in one frame including fiber transport, PtP, WDM, CWDM, DWDM, routing, embedding, IP/ASI conversion, distribution, add/drop/pass, HDMI, and SNMP, as well as enabling easy integration to other third-party control systems such as Skyline.

Wiggo Evensen, CEO, Barnfind, said there will be between 10 to 12 broadcasters and sports/event-related companies using the BarnOne frames to ensure their operations run smoothly.

He explained: "Broadcast sports is an extremely important market segment for Barnfind. Our unique built-in router and our ability to handle any SFPs enables clients to change signal transport configurations on the fly, making the platform ideal for events with multiple locations. Barnfind gear has been used in many different instances such as race tracks like MotoGP and F1, and we are pleased to report that sales in that area have increased tremendously over the past two years. Our flexible stage-boxes can handle any signal format in any mix.

"Our popularity among many camera manufacturers is also increasing. They realize that the Barnfind solutions are very valuable for CAM-CCU (video, audio, tally, intercom and RCP) transport. Barnfind's new high-low SFP system is unique in its ability to handle up to 18 cameras and CCUs on one single fiber which has resulted in significant interest and many sales."
