MultiDyne to bring VersaBrix signal transport line to IBC 2025
The compact fiber-optic system handles everything from PTZ extension to bulk 12G and 10GbE over single fiber.
MultiDyne Video & Fiber Optic Systems is set to return to IBC this September with major enhancements to its VersaBrix (VB) Series, a rugged and modular fiber-optic transport platform widely adopted by broadcasters and live production professionals. The company will present the updated system at Stand 11.C12 during the trade show, taking place from September 12 to 15 at the RAI Convention Centre in Amsterdam.
VersaBrix is engineered for flexibility across a variety of environments, from remote field applications and mobile flypacks to permanent broadcast studio installations. It offers uncompressed, near-zero latency signal transport over a single strand of fiber, capable of carrying 12G/3G/HD-SDI, HDMI 2.0, analog and digital audio, Ethernet (1/10GbE), intercom, tally, genlock and timecode. The platform supports a wide range of use cases, including extending PTZ and POV cameras or transporting high-volume signals across large venues or production trucks.
One of the most notable updates for IBC is the introduction of a sleek all-white chassis option, available across all four VersaBrix form factors, two, four, six and ten-slot models. These new enclosures, designed with on-camera aesthetics in mind, are suitable for visible studio environments and maintain the same robust performance as the traditional models.
Jesse Foster, Director of Strategic Accounts & Products at MultiDyne, said: 'VersaBrix is truly a Swiss Army knife for signal transport. You can move up to 18x 12G-SDI or 9x 10GbE signals over a single fiber without touching compression. And with new features like PoE++, HDMI 2.0, and our modular customization tool, we're making it easier than ever to spec the exact system you need whether you're in a truck, on a campus, or elsewhere that requires live broadcast.'
VersaBrix's compact 1RU design and shallow 7.25-inch depth make it particularly well-suited for space-constrained environments such as mobile production units and small control rooms. It's also an efficient solution for temporary installations where traditional copper cabling is impractical, delivering high performance with minimal setup time.
The system integrates smoothly with CCUs, routers and switchers, and supports both standard single-mode fiber and SMPTE hybrid cable. Low-voltage and rack-mountable, VersaBrix also supports remote power-over-fiber capabilities, making it a suitable tool for professionals involved in live sports, concerts, studio productions, and other demanding workflows.
As MultiDyne prepares to debut these latest improvements at IBC 2025, the company continues to position VersaBrix as a go-to solution for reliable, flexible, and high-quality signal transport in modern broadcast and live production environments.
