CP Communications Selects Barnfind Solution

News Image
CP Communications has selected Barnfind Americas to design and supply a fiber-based signal transport system to White Cherry Entertainment – the production team behind the American Theatre Wing's 2016 Tony Awards.

Barnfind Americas, the U.S. presence for Norwegian manufacturer Barnfind Technologies, designed a modular system comprised of two BarnOne-02 frames, each with 8 channels of HD/SDI to optical conversion and a pair of BT-House-LGX-CWDM-16 multiplexers, and one pair of Ethernet to optical SFPs.

Producers were able to occupy up to 8 HD/SDI electrical sources from BNC to optical fiber, either individually on a one-to-one basis, or multiplex them together over a single fiber link. The system also allowed them to transport Gig-E network traffic over the same fiber link and offered CP Communications' support technicians flexibility while saving valuable rack space.

John McCluskey, Director of Sales, Barnfind Americas, said: "CP Communications was tasked with providing White Cherry Entertainment with a system that could not only offer up the versatility required for a live broadcast, but do it from a very small footprint. Maximizing functionality in compact quarters combined with uncompromising reliability were key. The BarnFind BarnOne BTF-02 fiber optic system proved ideal for the situation and became an essential component of the overall project and its success."

"One of the advantages of using the Barnfind solution was the refined modular configuration, which ended up being a key element of the deployment," added Michael Mason, president of CP Communications. "Throughout the setup week, the video distribution was somewhat of a moving target as production elements changed. Using the BTF-02 matrix capability, we were able to revise signal flow as it became necessary. We also had the luxury of routing the spare fiber and video signals beforehand so when the add requests started coming, the paths for the newly desired feeds were already in line."
