Clear-Com Appointed Exclusive US Distributor for Broaman Audio and Video Signal Transport Solutions

Clear-Com announces its appointment as the exclusive US distributor of BroaMan audio, video transport, and routing solutions. Clear-Com demonstrated the latest BroaMan products, as well as Clear-Com's leading communication solutions at InfoComm 2018 from June 6-8, 2018 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV.

"Clear-Com and BroaMan have worked closely for a number of years to create easy integration and control between the two companies' leading audio solutions," says Simon Browne, vice president of product management, Clear-Com. "The BroaMan solutions are a natural fit within the Clear-Com portfolio, providing truly integrated transport and routing solutions for video, audio, intercom and data, and exceptional fiber distribution capabilities for the Corporate AV Rental, House of Worship, and multi-use Live Event Venue applications."

Tine Helmle, MD, BroaMan, says, "Clear-Com is an excellent partner to be working with-extremely professional, knowledgeable, and with great staff in the US and across the world. In fact, they have already sold a good number of BroaMan devices for several years already."

The compact Repeat8-NANO and Repeat48 Series of media converters offer simple and cost-efficient point-to-point fiber transport. The Repeat8-NANO is a complete, plug-and-play 4K fiber transport in a single box and is therefore ideally placed for facilities requiring simple 4K transmission, the company says. It is available in two stand-alone versions:

• Repeat8-NANO 4IN features four SDI inputs and four fiber SFP outputs (electrical to optical conversion).
• Repeat8-NANO 4OUT features four SDI outputs and four fiber SFP inputs (optical to electrical conversion).

The Repeat48 Series has similar features to the Repeat8-NANO, but with either 12 or 24 channels. Repeat48 is available with or without a built-in WDM module, and there is also a custom version offering additional hardware features.

Route66 Series is a multiple-purpose device that offers a small to mid-size, cost-efficient video matrix and is perfect for AV installations. It also provides ultra-fast video switching with no delay for 3G-SDI, and remote-controllable fiber patchbay for any protocol. The panels have a 40x40 optical MUX and router for up to 24 BNC-SDI 3G/HD/SD video ports, up to 20 duplex or 36 simplex protocol-independent LC fiber ports. In addition, the Mux22 Series of application-engineered devices offer every signal needed in the professional environment in a small 1RU chassis. Mux22 combines 3G/HD/SD-SDI I/O with Optocore and SANE digital audio networks, creating a compact solution to transport video, along with audio and data, all in a single duplex fiber cable.
