FiberPlex Displays New MD-3 Multi-Control
Interface Translator for LightViper™
— Compact device translates RS-422, RS-232 and MIDI control signals
through fiber optic transport systems —
INFOCOMM, ORLANDO, FL, June 7, 2006 — FiberPlex, Inc.,
the leading fiber optic supplier to the professional audio industry,
will be exhibiting the company’s new MD-3, a Multi-Control Interface
Translator for its LightViper™ fiber optic audio systems.
The LightViper MD-3 is a multiple control interface device
for translating RS-422, RS-232 and MIDI control signals through LightViper
fiber optic transport systems. The MD-3 has three (3) connectors on
its front panel: RS-422, MIDI, and RS-232. The rear panel contains three
(3) RJ45 connectors and a single switch. The switch is used to determine
whether MIDI is sending or receiving on each device. The MD-3 derives
power from the LightViper system via the connection between the RJ-45
“control” connector on the LightViper unit and the RJ-45
connector on the MD-3. The MD-3 is used in pairs; one MD-3 is required
at each end of the system.
An MD-3 pair is capable of sending a specific type of
control signal (e.g. “RS-422”) through a LightViper system
and outputting that same control signal on the opposite end. An MD-3
pair is also capable of outputting a completely different control signal
(e.g. “MIDI”) at the opposite end (translated control output).
The MD-3 is packaged in a compact (4" x 3" x
1"), rugged steel enclosure. The MD-3 has four (4) rubber feet
as well as a Velcro® strip to attach it to an equipment rack. The
price for one pair of MD-3 devices is $428.00.
