Artel in Action – Summer 2021
Welcome to the second installment of Artel in Action, our quarterly newsletter keeping you up to date with what we’ve been doing lately.
Artel in Action – Spring 2021
Artel in Action is our quarterly newsletter created to say hello, keep in touch, and let you know what we’ve been up to lately, especially as we've not been able to meet up recently!
How FiberLink Tends to the Healthcare Industry
Like many industries, healthcare has come to rely heavily on high-resolution imaging and secure high-bandwidth transport of media over longer and longer distances. All of these requirements have made fiber optic cabling — and products from the Artel FiberLink® family — a great fit for medical facilities and applications.
TV Station Enhances Affiliate Link With Artel’s SMART J2K
When a TV station in the Eastern U.S. planned to add HD video services, the station’s engineering team found that it couldn’t move the higher-resolution video to its affiliate over its existing 1G station-to-affiliate link, an SDI/ASI over fiber and Gigabit Ethernet hybrid network built on Artel base fiber infrastructure.
Lessons Learned Part 4: Ensuring Interoperability
If you’ve been following along at home, you know that the first three blogs in this “lessons learned” series dig into the benefits of PTP-aware switches in an IP environment, correct handing of PTP and synchronization in IP-based media workflows. We shift gears just a bit with this blog to look more closely at interoperability — or, making sure everything works!
FiberLink Meets Government/Military Need for Secure, Real-Time Video and Data
Why are our FiberLink products found in government and military installations including submarines, training centers, rocket launch facilities, aircraft carriers, UAVs, and field operations in active war zones?
Lessons Learned Part 3: Networking and Transport
So far in this blog series, we’ve examined the importance of PTP-aware switches in an IP environment, as well as correct handling of Precision Time Protocol (PTP) data to ensure proper timing and synchronization. In this third post, we look at networking and transport — the actual movement of video, audio, data, control, monitoring, intercom, and other signals over the IP network.
A Fresh Look at FiberLink
Did you know that our FiberLink family of fiber optic transmission products is a quarter-century old? This blog series will take a closer look at FiberLink — how it has enabled advances in professional video, and how it continues to meet the latest requirements for broadcast or corporate studios, education, stadiums and theaters, airports and transportation hubs, rental and staging, surgical or medical imaging, government and military, and more.
Lessons Learned Part 2: Optimal Handling of PTP
The first blog in this “lessons learned” series took a close look at how important it is to use a PTP-aware switch when implementing IP-based media workflows. In this second installment, we’ll focus more on IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) itself and how to handle PTP configuration and data correctly.
The IP Migration: Working With Audio Studios
When you hear about the audio industry’s migration to IP, the “classic” implementation that comes to mind is that of either a greenfield application or a complete equipment replacement. Either response is valid, given that many of the initial implementations highlighted were just these kinds of projects: entirely new builds undertaken by high-profile media organizations.
