TV ONE Z-PLUS CABLES: TV One’s line of Z-Plus cables for pro A/V and broadcast applications now includes DVI and HDMI offerings in lengths from three to 60 feet. The DVI and HDMI cables are UL-listed and feature BNC connectors with true 75-ohm impedance. Offered in dual-link, male-to-male configurations up to 60 feet long, the Z-Plus DVI high-definition cables use 24-gauge wire instead of 28-gauge wire, allowing signals to travel farther. Outfitted with ferrites on both ends, the cables additionally feature precision-molded nickel-plated connectors with gold-plated pins, and are CL-2–rated. Available in premium lengths of up to 25 feet, the HDMI-to-HDMI cables just added to the Z-Plus family incorporate precision-molded nickel-plated connectors with gold pins and UL2076 cable.

VISIONEERING CONNECT 4X4 AES PATCHBAY: Visioneering Connect has come up with the ultimate solution to the problem of interfacing digital audio devices that employ eight channels of AES I/O on a single D-25 connector, such as Euphonix, Pro Tools|HD, Mackie and others. We have developed a four-row patchbay that normals two devices to each other’s respective inputs/outputs with a single 8-pair AES cable—with D-25 connectors on both ends—between the gear and the patchbay. No splitting or joining of cables and no more bulky breakout cables are required. Audio Accessories’ nickel-plated TT jacks are arranged 48 across on a 3RU chassis. Model VDC-5018W-448D-4x4 comes complete with 24 cables (custom lengths available) for less than $3,800. NAB Booth: C 3651.

VISIONEERING CONNECT AES3ID8: Visioneering Connect has developed yet another indispensable product aimed at the broadcast market where many devices adopt the 75-ohm AES-ID format for digital audio. Facilities typically use a 75-ohm “video” patchbay for interfacing the digital audio signals. What then to do with the many devices that employ eight pairs of 110-ohm AES-3 audio signals on a single D-25 connector? The usual “fix” is to hang eight expensive baluns on an expensive breakout cable in a lump in the back of the rack. The AES3ID8 is a 1RU rack-mount unit with eight BNC connectors mating with a D-25 connector. We use the highest-quality transformers available, and meet 192kHz specs. The $295 price includes a D-25-to-D-25 interface cable. NAB Booth: C 3651.
