Dear Ron,
Products, products, products! In this issue, we
feature our new 4700 Series that provides fiber optic
transport for high resolution RGBHV/YUV (up to 1280
X 1024 UXGA Resolution) over a single fiber! In
addition, we share with you one of our most current
success stories with Clarian Health Partners and
Indiana University Hospital. Then, we cover the
expansion to our AVD Router Platforms and the
success that they are bringing to us. Finally, we
share with you news from the two most recent
tradeshows in South America.
| BCI Provides Advanced Fiber Optic Transmission Equipment for 2 Live, Simultaneous Surgeries at Indiana University Hospital |
 |
|
Clarian Health Partners recently utilized Broadata
Communications Inc. s Model 300 series, multi-
channel fiber optic transmission equipment for remote
viewing of 2 different live surgeries, simultaneously at
Indiana University Hospital.
More than 50 surgeons were in attendance at the
Ruth Lilly Auditorium to view live video images of the
surgeries, which were transmitted from the hospital s
operating rooms to the auditorium utilizing the BCI
fiber optic equipment.
|
| Broadata has received more than $2 million dollars in revenue since expanding their fiber optic transmission system design, specifically for AVD Router platforms. |
|
|
The latest model to be released is the MCP1000
Series. It is an economical, but high performance,
fiber optic, media converter system for Broadcast and
Multimedia audio/video/data delivery. It converts
between fiber and copper interfacing for a wide
variety of AVD signals (composite, S-Video, RGBHV,
HDI-SDI, DVI, Hi-Fi Stereo, AES, SPDIF, RS-
232/422/485, Ethernet, etc.). It is a perfect
platform to supplement today s AVD routers for as
needed fiber/copper conversion without spending a
fortune for fiber optic based AVD router platforms.
Freddie Lin, President and CEO, said, To maintain the
competitiveness of the A/V/D routers, it is highly
desirable to maintain an all-copper interface
configuration in the A/V/D router, and offer a
separate A/V/D media converter that provides as
needed copper-to-fiber and fiber-to-copper
conversion.

Hosted by our local distributors in Brazil and
Argentina, BCI participated at the Broadcast & Cable
Show in Brazil in September, and Caper 2005 Show
(broadcast, cable, cine & multimedia) in Argentina in
October. It was BCI s 5th year of participating at the
shows together with our sales representative, Inviso
from Miami Florida.
BCI introduced the new BCIView system, which is a
web browser based network monitoring system. With
this system, users can log into the BCIView at any
place and at any time to monitor, configure and /or
manage fiber optic audio/video/data transmission
chassises with a variety of I/O cards, such as short-
haul analog video and audio, digital SDI/HDTV video,
professional AES/EBU audio, Ethernet, RS232/422,
and many other products.
"Compared to previous years, both of the shows this
year had better attendance, and many of our
customers showed great interest in our newly
released products. It clearly indicates that the
economy in South America is recovering and business
is getting much better this year," said Jason
Chian, "We are looking forward to a bright future in
South America."
