markets has created significant opportunities over the past few years for Emcore to leverage its existing product portfolio in new ways, yielding many new projects around the globe.
Through the openGear partnership, the professional audio/visual community will now be able to deploy proven technologies with a standardized open platform approach. The Professional Information Communications & A/V Systems marketplace is estimated to be a $75 billion dollar industry annually, and experiences a consistent year-over- year growth, making it an excellent match for Emcore.
The new DVI / VGA / Component video transport solution is designed to address multiple audio/visual market verticals including Digital Signage, Airport/Mass Transit Display Systems, Command & Control Centers, Medical Video Conferencing and other applications that require high-resolution digital video, audio & data signals to be transported over long or short distances.
Features include VESA & SMPTE standards compliant video resolutions, Stereo Audio Inputs and USB Keyboard/Mouse connectivity. This makes the OPG-1DVI a versatile system that can be easily adapted to fit almost any application where remote KVM connectivity is required.
“At NAB 2010 this year, we announced our partnership with openGear as well as introduced several new products for the Broadcast Equipment market. We’re applying our expertise and taking it to the next level by introducing new fiber solutions to the Professional Audio/Visual marketplace,” said Henok Tafese, Director of Business Development for the Fiber Optic Video business unit. This enables us to harness the innovative features and capabilities that our fiber optic technology is known for,” he added.
Circadian Solar ‘s Tracker to Support Research at University of Lisbon 2010-06-08
Circadian Solar has established a new test facility for its CPV solar energy system at the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Lisbon. This takes advantage both of the high direct normal solar insolation (DNI) in this part of Portugal and of the expertise of the established solar energy research group at the University of Lisbon, led by António Vallêra.
The system installed is a 5 square meter tracker, a sub-structure of Circadian Solar’s 30 m2 system (CS30) that is at the heart of its product line. Allowing easy access to the chassis, the research tracker enables rapid changes of development modules, while providing the high (less than 0.4°) tracking accuracy of the standard product. Ethernet access is provided both for remote control of the tracker from Circadian’s UK headquarters and for transmission of data for performance monitoring and immediate analysis.
António Vallêra remarked, “We are all looking forward to learning from the data that the system is already collecting. Furthermore, we are delighted to form this new cooperation with Circadian Solar to assist the company in driving its innovative designs through to market applications.”
Geoffrey Duggan, Research and Development Director of Circadian Solar commented: “Our research tracker at the University of Lisbon is an important test facility, which will greatly enhance our development of improved modules and thin film, III-V solar cells that are under development via our joint venture, tf2 devices. Lisbon is easily accessible from the UK, and we are delighted to form this cooperative programme with Prof António Vallêra and his team. It is notable that within days of our engineers arriving on site, the tracker was assembled, installed and commissioned, and a record performance on a new module
