[Avid-L2] Re: Great NAB finds off the beaten path Nerd alert Connectors Patchbays

 

No mater what NLE/color correct you need cables and connectors. King Connectors had a cool high density RF to PCB connector setup that would allow up to 24 RF 75 Ohm connections on a connector less the 3 inches wide and one inch tall. These would be great for portable equipment setups that need to connect the equipment rack to the editor console. I was surprised the actual connector wasn't ridiculously expensive. They are scalable in pairs of two but even with the full compliment of 24 the connector is only $75 ish. King also had a fibre patchbay with the patch cords that looked like an old am car radio antenna banana plug. It's fibre but easy to patch. Bittree also has a fibre patch solution but theirs looks more like a bnc patch cord that's a little harder to patch but booth are way easier than the LC or FC fibre patch bays. Just for fun take a look at the king fusion fibre splicer that uses fibre pigtails to fix broken fibre connectors. I made the mistake of checking out the fusion splicer right before heading over to Bittree. I should have waited 20 minutes and smoked a cigarette between the two booths.
