HARMANs Studer A-Link Interface and Artel DigiLink Platform Join Forces

LAS VEGAS, Nevada - HARMANs Studer and Artel Video Systems today announce that Artels DigiLink platform has been successfully deployed to transport Studer A-Link audio data streams across fiber infrastructure. Using Artels fiber transport modules to convert the electrical A-Link signals to standard ITU optical wavelengths, users can now transport A-Link streams across fiber link distances of over 100Km.

Found in Studers groundbreaking Vista X digital console, A-Link brings a new scale of interfacing to the audio world. Utilizing 3Gb/s digital video interface technology, Studer can now provide a simple and robust digital audio interface capable of transmitting1, 536 - 32 bit audio channels on a single cable. This ultra-high capacity link provides more than enough capacity for todays audio systems but, by using such a fast data transport, will allow audio systems to grow in the future without having to change interface standards.

Artel DigiLink is a state-of-the-art media transport platform. Compact, modular, cost-effective, and rugged, DigiLink is deployed worldwide for metro-regional fiber and IP media transport. This solution with A-Link enables 1,536 channels (equivalent to 24 MADI connections) of zero latency digital audio to be transported between the I/O frames (stageboxes) at the remote site and the mixing console back at base. Full control of the analog parameters of the microphone amplifier (gain, phantom and filter) is available on the mixer surface, which can be over 100 kilometers away. A return fiber is also provided, enabling return audio circuits, control, and status to be connected over the same link. Using the optical multiplexing features of DigiLink enables several A-Link streams, along with video and Ethernet, to be multiplexed on a single fiber offering complete remote coverage including video, audio, control, and communications over a single fiber pair.
