MultiDyne announced that it will introduce the second generation of its SilverBULLET series, with upgrades that include agnostic signal support from 5 Mbpx to 12 Gbps, at the upcoming 2024 NAB Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center (booth C7107).
MultiDyne SilverBULLET transmitters and receivers are built for a variety of purposes, from broadcast applications to specialty use cases where small footprint and a rugged form factor are requirements. They are also portable, making them equally useful for last-minute SDI video feeds to AES and MADI audio feeds. And, they’re also problem solvers that can repair a failed connection or address an unexpected transport requirement. Each device is encased in machined aluminum for added durability.
The SilverBULLET is 12G-capable for high-bandwidth, single-link transport to and from any video source. Built-in cable equalization and re-clocking optimizes signal integrity across all short- and long-distance transport, reducing the presence of existing jitter from input signals. The SilverBULLET supports all SDI rates down to 5 Mbps, making them a flexible tool for courtesy feeds, confidence monitoring, distance learning, and other broadcast and commercial AV applications.
The updated SilverBULLET can equalize up to 75 meters of coax at 12G and 200 meters at 3G, and has an integrated optical power meter on receiver units. Power input spans from to 5-16VDC so that they can be powered from simple USB power sources, including cameras and monitors. Options include USB-A and USB-C to miniXLR 4-pin power adapter cables, and full-size and HDBNC patch cables.
MultiDyne CEO Frank Jachetta adds that later this year the SilverBULLET will be available with a special tray capable of housing multiple transmitting and receiving units with redundant power. “This makes SilverBULLET an ideal solution for fixed broadcast and production studio requirements, along with its portable applications in sports production, remote camera links, pre-fibered venues and interconnects for mobile production trucks,” he says.
