ADC Telecommunications Unveils New Transport System at IBC `99.AMSTERDAM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 10, 1999-- DV6400(TM) System Extends DV6000(TM) Product Line, Adding Functionality for Distributed Switching Distributed switching is an architecture in which multiple processor-controlled switching units are distributed. There is often a hierarchy of switching elements, with a centralized host switch and with remote switches located close to concentrations of users. , Network Redundancy and Advanced Digital Networking ADC Telecommunications ADC Telecommunications (NASDAQ: ADCT) is a communications company located in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, a southwest suburb of Minneapolis. History In 1935, Ralph Allison founded ADC Telecommunications in the basement of his south Minneapolis home, inventing ADC's very Inc. (Nasdaq:ADCT ADCT Adaptive Discrete Cosine Transform )(www.adc (1) See A/D converter. (2) (Apple Display Connector) A peripheral connector from Apple that combines digital video display, USB and power in one cable. .com) today announced the debut of its new DV6400 Multi-channel Fiber Optic Transmission and Switching system at the International Broadcasters Convention (IBC IBC International Building Code IBC Iraq Body Count IBC Institutional Biosafety Committee IBC Inflammatory Breast Cancer IBC International Business Company IBC Independence Blue Cross IBC Insurance Bureau of Canada IBC International Broadcasting Convention ) September 10-14, 1999 in Amsterdam (Stand 739, Hall 11). The DV6400 can be configured for stand-alone operation or as a powerful interface tributary to larger networks. Scalability, multi-service support, distributed switching, and resource management/control make it an ideal transport solution for TV broadcast and post-production networks as well as other video contribution/distribution applications such as studio-to-transmitter links. "The DV6400 extends ADC's leadership in digital transport technology, a leadership that was established with our highly successful DV6000(TM) backbone transport system and continues with this complimentary system," said Joe Cozzolino, vice president and general manager of ADC's Digital Transport Systems division. Designed for flexibility and versatility in transporting broadcast quality video, audio and data over fiber optic cable Noun 1. fiber optic cable - a cable made of optical fibers that can transmit large amounts of information at the speed of light fibre optic cable transmission line, cable, line - a conductor for transmitting electrical or optical signals or electric power , the DV6400 platform supports a multitude of services, including E3/E1, PAL, NTSC (National TV Standards Committee) The committee that developed the television standards for the U.S, which are also used in Canada, Japan, South Korea and several Central and South American countries. Both the committee and the standard are called "NTSC. , PAL, IF, MPEG-2 and Ethernet, as well as SDI (1) (Serial Digital Interface) A physical interface widely used for transmitting digital video in various formats. For electrical transmission, it uses a high grade of coaxial cable and a single BNC connector with Teflon insulation. (D1) and DVB-ASI DVB-ASI Digital Video Broadcasting - Asynchronous Serial Interface digital broadcast formats. Additionally, a SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) The European counterpart to SONET. See SONET. SDH - Synchronous Digital Hierarchy gateway also enables the DV6400 to transport high quality video and data services over public SDH networks. Bi-directional T1/E1 and RS-232 connections in the overhead data stream support the carriage of voice, data, and machine control along with network management information. Two versions of the DV6400 are offered. The DV6408 Tributary Access System - Low profile, 7 rack unit system capable of transporting up to eight one-way uncompressed video channels or, four bi-directional video channels in two 595 Mbps data streams. The DV6408 system can interface to another DV6408 for stand-alone point-to-point, or ring applications, or into a DV6444 system as a tributary to an existing DV6000 backbone system. The DV6408 supports full redundancy and is compatible with the entire family of DV6000 encoder/decoder modules. The DV6444 Tributary Access and Interface Gateway - Integrates a 52x52 non-blocking switch matrix for the consolidation of localized traffic (minimizing DV6000 backbone traffic) with the ability to share signals from up to four separate DV6408 rings as well as up to two DV6000 rings. Any channel input can be switched to any channel output for full time-slot interchange capability. Like the 6408, the DV6444 also supports full redundancy and is compatible with the entire DV6000 family of encoder/decoder modules.
