FiberPlex Unveils “MY-Card” Fiber Optic Interface
for Yamaha Digital Consoles— LightViper™ mini-YDGAI card modules offer plug ‘n’ play solution
for interfacing fiber optic audio transport snake system —NSCA EXPO, ORLANDO, FL — FiberPlex, Inc., the leading professional audio fiber optic supplier to the sound production and systems contracting industry, has announced the introduction of its new LightViper™ VIM-MY32 mini-YDGAI interface components which are designed to allow owners of Yamaha digital audio production consoles to connect direct via fiber to the LightViper state-of-the-art fiber optic audio “snake” system.
A pair of rear-of-console, plug-in VIM-MY32 card modules (master & slave set) will handle 32 audio sends and 8 returns (24-bit/48 kHz digital audio) via LightViper’s fiber-optic digital audio cable. By adding an additional VIM-MY32 card set, the Yamaha PM5D console can operate with 64 sends and 16 fiber optic returns. Various combinations of LightViper MY-32 cards can be used in concert with Yamaha’s PM5D, M7CL, DM2000, DM1000, and the new LS9. With the exception of one external interconnecting jumper between each master and slave card module set, no additional cables or rack mount electronics are required to interface a LightViper fiber optic audio snake. Additionally, Yamaha’s control protocol for its AD8HR remote mic preamplifiers is provided through a LightViper “MY card-enabled” fiber connection.
To handle every conceivable fiber optic termination requirement, the VIM-MY32 interface card modules are available in four configurations:
— TAC-4FR military style connectors (shown in photo);
— Non-tactical LC connectors;
— Non-tactical ST connectors;
— Rugged Neutrik OptiCon™ connectors.
The suggested Manufacturer’s Professional User price for a set (one master and one slave) of VIM-MY32 cards (32 x 8 with ST connectors) is $1,550.00. The product will be available by the end of the second quarter, 2007.For additional technical information and specifications, go to www.lightviper.com and click on “Y Card” modules (VIM-MY32).
