Artel Partners With HARMAN To Extend Studer A-Link Capabilities

Artel Video Systems has deployed its new InfinityLink solution to extend HARMAN's Studer A-Link capabilities.

The InfinityLink product line will be unveiled by Artel on Stand 10.B20 at IBC2016.

A-Link is found in Studer's Vista V and Vista X digital consoles. By using Artel's InfinityLink, the solution is now capable of transmitting 1536 channels of "zero-latency" digital audio to be transported between remote sites and the mixing console back at the studio.

A return fiber is also provided, enabling return audio circuits, control, and status to be connected over the same link. The optical multiplexing features of InfinityLink enable 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.

Katy Templeman-Holmes, Solutions & Marketing, Broadcast, HARMAN Professional Solutions, said: "A-Link with InfinityLink's fiber transport capabilities brings a new scale of interfacing to the audio world.

"We are pleased to be strengthening our relationship with Artel and expanding the capabilities of our A-Link solution."

President and CEO of Artel Video Systems, Mike Rizzo, added: "Studer's legendary reputation in the audio industry, combined with Artel's reputation for reliability, make the integration of A-Link and InfinityLink the ideal solution for transporting audio over fiber networks.

"Continuing our partnership with HARMAN's Studer further extends users' capabilities in transporting audio streams, providing the flexibility to meet the growing needs of evolving workflows and emerging networks."
