High efficiency for compact power supplies
Omron has extended its range of power supplies with the launch of the S8PE - a powerful, high efficiency, new line of 3-phase power supplies designed for industrial applications.
The capacious throughput of the SX51 is designed to fully support HDMI rev1.3 requirements.
HDMI rev1.3 specifications allow for advanced deep colour support, which uses up to 16 bits per pixel,effectively providing a dynamic spectrum of colours ranging in the billions of shades, as well as for true lossless audio playback through Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD audio formats.
The incorporation of bi-directional channels provides a level of control to the SX family of OSAs.
This additional flexibility positions the SX51 as an attractive alternative for solutions in applications such as broadcast, in-flight entertainment or any video / data application where bi-directional communication along a common optical fibre is desirable.
"The SX51 will help video engineers address the pressing need of moving deep-colour and other high-speed video protocols between boxes", says Brian Peters, President of Omron Network Products.
"By enabling a single link that carries bi-directional communication in parallel to the high-speed data, the SX51 makes upgrading equipment to HDMI 1.3, Display Port, and high-definition protocols significantly easier".
With an efficient package design measuring 10.8 x 15.7 x 7.9mm, the Afterburner SX51 family of products is a CWDM-based optical subassembly (OSA) using four channels, which provide a transmission (TOSA) / receiving (ROSA) bit rate of up to 3.5Gbit/s per channel, with an additional two channels for low-speed bidirectional applications.
Martin Smith, Omron Product Manager for the SX51 added: "The SX51 is bringing advanced fibre optic capabilities to many customers who operate solely in the copper realm".
"By making high-speed fibre solutions easier to implement Omron is leading the way towards mass-adoption of fibre optics across the entire spectrum of video distribution customers".
