Barnfind Americas today announced that the company’s director of technology, John
Brendle, will make a technical presentation at the upcoming SMPTE 2015 Annual
Technical Conference & Exhibition (SMPTE 2015). The annual SMPTE 2015
conference will take place October 26-29 in Hollywood, California. Brendle’s
presentation, titled “A Single Strand of Glass: The Incredible Power of Optical Fibre
in Production Environments,” is scheduled for Tuesday, October 27, at 11:15 a.m.
As part of the session “Is Coax Ready for the Undertaker?” Brendle will present use
cases for optical fibre and its short- and long-term benefits in today’s rapidly
evolving media environments. “With 4K/UHDTV looming, traditional analog and
digital signals are coexisting alongside emerging formats such as HEVC H.265 in
many operations,” he commented. “With its ability to handle any signal type with
the appropriate terminal gear, the versatility and flexibility of fibre make it the
starting point for any “future-proof’ operation. And, by carrying many different types
of signals over a single cable, fibre drastically reduces the number of cables
required in an operation — for reduced costs, faster setup and tear-down, and
easier troubleshooting.”
SMPTE 2015 is the world’s premier forum for the exploration of media and
entertainment technology. More information about the conference, including
