The optocamSWITCH (CASW) allows we to route both fiber optic signals and power for cameras within broadcast studios, outside broadcast vehicles, and location facilities. The unit accommodates M camera inputs and offers N cross-point outputs. It eliminates the need for high cost and bulky matrix patch fields using SMPTE patch cables. The OCSW offers switching of unlimited camera positions across several studios or locations and control rooms. In addition to sealed front panel routing switches, the supplied LAN-based remote control software shows switching and reports camera status, designed to be integrated into existing broadcast production automation systems to allow real-time control of complex wiring structures. The optical switch is based on MEMS technology designed to reliably operate over 20 years. By avoiding the need to expose and reconnect fiber faces and power conductors during patching, the optioamSWITCH eliminates mechanical wear, costly maintenance, and possible mechanical failure. The matching adapter provides constant power to the cameras, avoiding long camera power cable transitions associated with studios. When switched off, the optocamSWITCH saves the router settings which are restored on reboot, a valuable feature when preconfiguring outside broadcast events. Fiber connections are via standard LC duplex fiber connectors. Units are powered by a 12V DC plug power adaptor and 110-220 ACV. An auxiliary 12V redundant power supply inlet socket and earth terminal are also rear-mounted. LAN Ethernet connection is via a standard RJ45 cat5e patch cord. A user-friendly GUI is provided with a memory disk packaged inside the box. Front panel push button with LED is an option for manual override to directly connect the broadcasting to a specific camera.
