IBC 2019
Visit Norwia at IBC 2019 booth 10.C10
At IBC 2019, Norwia AS, a leading supplier of optical transport products, will showcase true
hybrid solutions based on our renowned miniHUB™
frame concept.
With up to 32 channels of optical conversions in a single 1RU frame, customers may mix and match
between any kind of baseband SDI: SD-, HD-, 3G-, 4K-, 6G- and 12G-SDI. In addition, a number of
other signals like DVB-ASI, VoIP (ST2022 and ST2110), 10GigE, Audio signals (AES/Ravenna 67) and
control signals (Tally/GPIO/RS-232 and RS-422) are all supported in the
miniHUB™ frame concept. All signals may be
either single channel per fiber or up to 18 channels of CWDM.
The flexibility provided gives our customers an almost endless range of possibilities for having
a system design that matches their exact requirement.
Another feature that makes miniHUB™ unique,
is the possibility of changing the configuration as the requirements change. In other words, a
transition from i.e. an HD-SDI infrastructure to a 12G-SDI infrastructure may be done on a single
channel basis, allowing for moderate investments over time.
Such configuration changes may be done "on-the-fly" without interrupting the daily tasks.
miniHUB™ is also available in a version
designed for applications in extreme temperature environments. One of the largest US telco
groups are using 100's of these units across the country for the transport of live sport events.
HUBbox™ 12G-SDI is the newest member of the
small form factor family. As a stand-alone, dual channel optical converter, this is the ideal
product for greatly extending the distance between i.e. a camera and the control room. It is
available as a dual channel transmitter, dual channel receiver or a transceiver.
Utah Scientific, our US based partner and router/master control manufacturer, will co-exhibit
with us at IBC 2019. A variety of products will be on display at our booth.
We look forward to seeing you at stand 10.C10

Ring Networks
NRK uses miniHUB's flexible optical transport system for their Metro Ring Network
Faced with both growing requirement for live outside broadcasting and concerns over reliability and cost of
both microwave and satellite links, the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation(NRK) developed a fiber ring
architecture for video transport across Oslo.
The use of the innovative Norwia miniHUB solutions with its AutoSFP® cards has enabled a highly resilient
and redundant transport of video and data to each node across the metropolitan fiber network.
"We can go live with just a few minutes setup and we have achieved 100% availability since launch."
- Erik Hansen, NRK
