MultiDyne Selects AbelCine As Partner For Cinematic Multicam Solutions In U.S.

MultiDyne Video & Fiber Optic Systems, a provider of fiber-optic transport, live production and streaming solutions, has appointed AbelCine as its platinum partner for cinematic multicam solutions in the United States.

The announcement follows a product development cycle from MultiDyne focused on helping content producers adapt digital cinema cameras into broadcast, multicam, and live production workflows. MultiDyne said its efforts “have resulted in especially brisk sales for its SilverBack family of fiber camera adapters, which help content producers achieve a cinematic scope and dramatic feel for TV programming, sports, concerts, and worship events, among other productions. The success of the SilverBack family resulted in MultiDyne’s second Technical Emmy Award, which the company received during April’s NAB Show.”

AbelCine is a provider of design, integration and support of production equipment for the entertainment industry. As a platinum partner, AbelCine will provide support for the full range of MultiDyne products to customers across the United States, with a specific focus on its family of cinematic multicam solutions, including the SilverBack family and HUT-APE (Hybrid Universal Transceiver – Advanced Power Extension) product lines, introduced in late 2022. AbelCine will provide sales, integration, front-line support, and service from its New York and Los Angeles facilities. “This ensures that customers receive the highest level of support and responsiveness throughout the entire lifecycle of their equipment,” the company said.

“AbelCine’s knowledge of the broadcast and cinema markets, and their commitment to providing exceptional customer service and support aligns perfectly with MultiDyne’s values,” said Frank Jachetta, MultiDyne president. “We are confident that this partnership will strengthen service to our customers and expand our presence in the rapidly developing cinematic multicam and broadcast markets. We are particularly excited about AbelCine’s strong visibility in the Los Angeles production community, where our large local customer base now has a trusted MultiDyne support partner for local service and product repairs. This eliminates the cost of shipping products to our New York factory while accelerating turnaround times for Los Angeles area customers.”

Long known for its fiber-optic transport solutions, MultiDyne has substantially broadened its product range through creative engineering breakthroughs and strategic acquisitions that take the company into new areas of the broadcast and production workflow.

The company recently acquired Niagara Video, bringing MultiDyne into the compression and streaming space for OTT and IP transport and delivery. The company says its SilverBack line “pairs exceptionally well with these and other MultiDyne product lines, allowing users to transmit multiple cameras, intercom feeds, and data signals over a single fiber-optic cable. The APE product line offers flexible and versatile solutions for powering video, audio, and data signals over low-cost single-mode fiber optic cable while also introducing 24VDC power for the latest generation of Digital Cinema Cameras.”

“We are excited to partner with MultiDyne and offer their industry-leading solutions to our customers,” said Pete Abel, AbelCine CEO. “We look forward to leveraging our field experience on multi-cam and integration projects to support existing MultiDyne customers and provide feedback to MultiDyne design engineers on future product and solution development.”
