MultiDyne Positions VersaBrix Fiber-Optic Transport Series

MultiDyne Video & Fiber Optic Systems officially introduced itself to the ProAV market at InfoComm last year, accentuating the diverse application set for fiber-optic technology in AV across its product line.

One year in, the company has added 10GbE connectivity to key product brands and will emphasise the VersaBrix Series for PTZ/POV camera extension in AV environments at its InfoComm 2025 booth (5665) highlighting new developments that strengthen its value to the AV integration community.

Those developments include a white colour option across all four VersaBrix frameworks, which offer customisable I/O design options in two, four, six and ten-slot versions. The white colour option offers architectural and aesthetic value to AV installers seeking consistent blending with white PTZ/POV cameras, increasingly a popular choice inside meeting spaces and classrooms. It is similarly at home in medical and other industries. where the equipment enclosures are predominantly white and often integrated into mobile carts.

VersaBrix further simplifies integration work as a low-voltage interconnection for power and all signals (4K/HD. video, audio, data, sync and Ethernet) coming into the unit. The VersaBrix transceivers usually require only 12 volts but they can also be configured to accept 56 volts, which then introduces a POE++ power output.

"Facilities can power the VersaBrix with 56 volts and power connected PoE devices at the zone of use, so with the low-voltage power capability there is no high-voltage required," said Jesse Foster, Vice President of Products and Western Sales, MultiDyne. "Integrators can use composite or hybrid plenum rated cable to take fiber to the edge while reducing costs and the amount of copper used. Each stage of the journey requires only one hybrid cable for the signals and the power connection."

MultiDyne's customisable VersaBrix fiber-optic transport systems are suitable for installed AV systems and as temporary throwdowns to overcome copper limitations, and the extra cost of plenum rated 12G-SDI coax and twisted pair cabling. Newley added supported signals are HDMI 2.0, 1/10GbE with POE++. 10GbE is also available inVF-9000 bulk transport frames, allowing customers to move large numbers of optically isolated 10GbE signals over one fiber with no need for VLANs.
