USB 3.0 has been gaining popularity among installers and end-users as it supports a throughput rate of up to 5Gps, approximately ten times faster than USB 2.0. This increased bandwidth makes USB 3.0 tailored for post production editing software, video matrix switches, USB 3.0 cameras, HD videos, and remote storage devices. The NAB demo will display the same media file extended via USB 3.0 and 2.0 in parallel for direct comparison.

The IHSE USA 417 series is capable of extending USB 3.0 transmissions up to 100 meters over OM3 multi-mode fiber optic cabling. This fiber extender comes with the ExtremeUSB suite of features such as transparent USB extension, plug and play and compatibility with Windows, Linux and Mac OS X OSs. The 417 USB 3.0 series is housed in a rugged aluminum chassis featuring two locking USB 3.0 ports and a locking power connector.

The need for faster data transfers has fueled the growth of USB 3.0,” said Dan Holland, marketing manager, IHSE USA. “Last year, we were the first video matrix provider to include USB 3.0 switching capability by incorporating ExtremeUSB technology. Since then, the awareness of USB 3.0’s bandwidth and plug and play simplicity has grown substantially and we expect broadcast applications to be in high demand.

Video files can be quite large and USB 3.0 with its 5Gbps throughput rate, offers a perfect interface for post production editing or remote storage transfer to equipment that could be some distance away,” said Glenn Antonelli, Icron’s VP marketing. “The demo by IHSE at NAB will illustrate quite nicely how well suited USB 3.0 is for broadcast applications.
