High technology in an improved format - because times have changed...

Combining our vast experience with the newest technology required a change. Our new Rubidium Series is a result of over 20 years of experience in the broadcast data field.

Rubidium stands for quality and high precision , which is what you can expect from this new series of products.



Module System:

  • Real-time front bus communication between modules (TC_link)

  • DVITC, LTC, VITC and VPS processing

  • ATC, UMID and Metadata processing

  • Distribution and signal amplifiers

  • NTP server synchronisation and SNMP functions available with Ethernet module

To start, all you need is a Rubidium housing and power supply. Then insert the required "RUB" module and your ready to go. All RUBIDIUM modules boast an easy set-up procedure by using a windows compatible configuration software, which automatically identifies the module and allows for a simple set-up via a RS232 serial port or via an internet browser software (function of "IE" module).

rb_insert Communication of all available values between modules in one or more connected "RUB" housings is accomplished though our intelligent front bus system (TC_link).

The inserter can handle up to fifteen independend windows. Each with its own attributes like color, size and function. Other standard features include genlocked Time Code generation and a configurable GPI interface.

rb_keypad For your convenience we also have four programmable functions keys, hot swapping capability and a flash memory chip to enable easy firmware updates. A user selectable serial interface (RS232, RS422 or RS485) can be optionally configured depending on your required protocol.
