Media Links Announce IBC2008 Preview

Media Links, providers of multi-service video, voice and data transport solutions, have announced the products they will be showcasing at IBC2008.
The conference in Amsterdam will see the international debut of Media Links' new integrated transport and switching system, the 3.2 Tbit/s MD-MAX. Able to handle every type of video, audio and data signal used by modern broadcasters, MD-MAX has been designed for large-scale operations to combine all the traffic that normally flows over separate cables and networks in a single, high-capacity, reusable backbone that can be extended to reach every corner of a modern broadcast facility or between facilities.
Also making its European debut at IBC2008 will be the MD8000. With an unprecedented level of flexibility and integration, the MD8000 offers high-performance video, audio and data transport over a wide variety of core network infrastructures. With 480 Gigabits of redundant switching capacity on a single shelf, more than enough bandwidth is available to support a wide range of video and data interfaces as well as a huge variety of network interfaces and topologies. There are direct interfaces to: dark fibre; metro/long-haul CWDM and DWDM systems; SONET/SDH rates from 155 Mbps to 10 Gbps; and ethernet rates from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps ensure that cost-effective, highly reliable networks can be installed today with a clear migration path to future network configurations and technologies.
Media Links will be at Stand: 3.C20 at IBC2008. Further information is available at: www.medialinks.com.
