Hot Lunch: Demystifying Fiber Optics for Audio
Presenter:
Ronald Ajemian
Abstract:
This presentation will cover fiber optic fundamentals for pro-audio and explain the principles behind fiber optic technology so that an audience with no prior knowledge will benefit. Mathematics will also be kept to a minimum. You will come away knowing fiber optic jargon and will also be able to answer these (5) main questions:
• What is fiber optics?
• What are the advantages of fiber optics?
• Where is fiber optics being used in audio/video?
• How can you apply fiber optics to audio/video?
• What types of cables and connectors can be used for
audio/video?
The presentation will wrap up with two short video clips. The first clip is on a new fiber optic cable breakthrough called the ClearCurve courtesy of Corning. The second clip will show how easy it is to put a fiber optic connector together using new state of the art tools.
Q & A to follow after tutorial. Bring your notebooks, pens, and pencils. A hard copy of a glossary of terms will be given out.
