Barnfind Announces BarnMini Family 
Expansion

Barnfind Technologies has announced it will showcase a number of new BarnMini modules at NAB 2017.

BarnMini-05
The new BarnMini-05 is a compact way to combine an RS422/485, 4 x GPI and 4 x GPO, controllable via an Ethernet/SFP port. The unit can serve as a bridge between many third-party devices; for example, transferring an RS422 signal or tally between two locations, or it can control an external optical changeover switch (BarnMini-06) in a redundancy setup.

Triggers are easily set, and the module works in conjunction with any BarnOne frames. BarnMini-05 is available as a standalone unit with a separate PSU, or mounted into the BarnMini BTF-Mini- 16 frame that houses any combination of 16 BarnMini modules with a common PSU. BarnStudio, Barnfind's control software, can be used to configure and monitor BarnMini-05.

BarnMini-06

Changeover switches are offered by many different vendors, but Barnfind's BT-OCS- 2-LGX can be mounted into a BT-HOUS- LGX-1RU chassis. Now, a new optical changeover switch is being introduced – the BarnMini-06 – which is easier to integrate with the GPO devices that are found in broadcast applications as it can now provide its own power needed to drive the switch. The device is also slightly smaller, and fits into the BarnMini BTF-Mini-16 frame instead of the BT-HOUS-LGX-1RU chassis.

BarnMini-07

Barnfind is also introducing a 4-channel CWDM mux; the new unit was developed in response to requests for a module that could transport 4K over different mediums. This compact mux fits into the BarnMini BTF-Mini-16 frame, instead of the BT-HOUS- LGX-1RU chassis. Two BarnMini-07 can be cascaded to build an 8-channel CWDM mux.

BarnMini-08

Two new optical splitters, known from Barnfind's LGX series, are available now as BarnMini-08-1:2 and BarnMini-08-1:4.

BarnMini-11

Barnfind's BarnMini-11 is the big brother to its BarnMini-01 solution that delivers point-to- point digital extension. It offers support for up to 12G. The BarnMini-11 can handle 12G, 10G, 4K and any other video format with a lower data rate than 12G. BarnMini-11 is equipped with re-clocker, just as BarnMini-01. It is available as a standalone unit with a separate PSU or mounted into the BarnMini BTF-Mini-16 frame that houses any combination of 16 x BarnMini modules with a common PSU.

BarnMini-12

Following the BarnMini-02 with 2 x SFP port for transceiver and capacity up to 3G SFPs, Barnfind is releasing the BarnMini-12, with support up to 12G capacity. The BarnMini-12 can handle 12G, 10G, 4K and any other video format with a lower data rate than 12G. It is equipped with re-clocker as the BarnMini-02. BarnMini-12 is available as a standalone unit with a separate PSU or mounted into the BarnMini BTF-Mini- 16 frame that houses any combination of 16 x BarnMini modules with a common PSU.
