BroaMan Appoints Clear-Com as USA Distributor

German fiber network specialists BroaMan, who offer scalable SD/HD/3G video, data and intercom transport solutions down a single fiber, have appointed Clear-Com, the provider of real-time communications solution and services, as their new distributor in the USA. Since 2011, Clear-Com has been working with BroaMan and sister company Optocore, implementing the German company's products for integrated real-time transport, routing, conversion and management of professional video, audio and data.

With the festival season fast approaching, Optocore chose the Prolight+Sound 2018 to launch its new Festival Box. Having already proven the versatile fiber based technology in the broadcast industry — marketed through its close technology partner BroaMan — Optocore has responded to the growing demand from the live sound community for a more elegant and efficient signal transport system, with a hot-swappable SFP solution that will radically streamline multiple-band festival bills. Hence the name Festival Box.

At this year’s IBC 2016, BroaMan/Optocore found the perfect platform from which to springboard its new Route66 family of routers. The company introduced three new versions to the Route66 signal router range, adding increased flexibility and efficiencies. The German company carried on where they left off at the NAB 2016 show, where they introduced the new Route66 AutoRouter concept, closing the ring automatically once a mobile stagebox is added or removed.

Optocore has created an elaborate fibre network for ISE 2015, connecting audio, video and intercom across multiple booths via a DiGiCo-Optocore/BroaMan network. The network ring starts with three connected DiGiCo consoles and continues to the Martin Audio booth, Allen & Heath’s booth, Renkus-Heinz and on the Powersoft booth and finally, on the Optocore booth itself.

BroaMan (Broadcast Manufactur GmbH), the brand created by Optocore to address specificaly the broadcast, production and professional AV integration applications, reported it is shipping its Mux22 MADI device, which makes its scalable and protocol independent platform compatible with the industry standard MADI audio format.
