BroaMan's AutoRouter with Optocore® technology adds Avid AVB and Yamaha TWINLANe compatibility
posted:
The attraction of the device is that it offers Auto Routing and an intelligent fibre patch bay (replacing the traditional patchbay)—this functionality powered by Optocore—making it ideal for installations with multiple connection points and mobile stage boxes as well as live events and broadcast.
Initially compatible with stand-alone Optocore networks and DiGiCo fibre loops, BroaMan has announced that the same functionality is now available for Yamaha TWINLANe cards, which support single-and multi-mode optical fibre, and AVID AVB network cards, allowing smarter theatre sound systems to be designed using their flagship consoles.

So how will this benefit the system designer? Essentially, what Route66 AutoRouter does is create a redundant star out of ring topology and closes the loop automatically between active devices and mobile stageboxes. There is no longer the need to patch cables manually, as the system is always redundant. Route66 will function as an intelligent patchbay, automatically detecting active devices and forming a loop topology from them to establish redundancy, without any user interaction. This speeds up system layout and configuration for any production.
The device can be equipped with up to 40 duplex LC sockets allowing up to 20 different connections from different locations, devices or device groups.
About BroaMan
BroaMan (Broadcast Manufactur GmbH) is the company behind high quality products made in Germany, that are aimed at broadcasters as well as production companies, sport facilities, professional AV integrators and many more applications. The company offers customised solutions as well as standard devices for every application that requires SD/HD/3G video transport or routing – whether a big and complex system for broadcast studio or OB Van, or a simple point to point for a small church, conference hall, etc. With DiViNe (Digital Video Network) all open standards can be integrated — digital video, audio and data — on the same fibre infrastructure. One of the main differentiators from other companies providing video over fibre solutions is the approach. BroaMan's customers can order a video system on demand, which is unique, and requires a different level of complexity and features, and yet it still has the best price ratio on the market. These BroaMan systems are tailored to match the customer's exact needs. Besides tailor made systems, BroaMan offers Standard Devices, which includes the Mux22 BNC Intercom.
