MultiDyne Video & Fiber Optic Solutions

What MultiDyne Video & Fiber Optic Solutions does

MultiDyne Video & Fiber Optic Solutions is a privately held US manufacturer of fiber optic transport systems for the broadcast and professional video industry. Founded in 1976 and headquartered in Kings Park, New York, the company designs and sells hardware that extends video, audio, intercom, data, and power signals over single-mode fiber for professional broadcasters, sports venues, studios, and field production crews. The product portfolio is structured as a modular, interoperable ecosystem across roughly a dozen platform families — including SilverBack and SilverBULLET camera adapters, NanoBriX throwdown converters, VersaBrix configurable fiber transport, the VF-9000 high-density 1RU frame, FieldFiber ruggedized field systems, HoneyBadger venue transport, SMPTE-HUT camera extension, openGear-compatible cards, FiberSaver wavelength-shifting multiplexers, CRESCENDO audio monitors, and MDoG-6060 ST-2110 IP gateways — collectively supporting standards from SDI through 12G-SDI and into ST-2110 IP-based transport.

The underlying technology centers on proprietary fiber optic signal handling, with notable capabilities including CWDM multiplexing of up to 18 SDI signals over a single fiber, SMPTE camera extension up to 10km on single-mode fiber, power delivery up to 1km over SMPTE hybrid cable, and seamless integration with industry-standard monitoring and audio networking ecosystems (openGear DashBoard, SNMP, Dante, AES67, ST-2110-30). All products are designed and manufactured in New York, and the company offers a 3-year warranty backed by an in-house Factory Service Center.

MultiDyne generates revenue primarily through direct, quote-based hardware sales to enterprise broadcast customers, with products configured to customer specifications via online system configurator tools (VB, VF, FiberSaver). The go-to-market model is sales-led with technical consultation for system design, supported by active participation in major industry trade shows (IBC, NAB) and standards bodies (SMPTE, openGear Leader Partner). The company operates globally from its Kings Park headquarters and serves three primary segments: broadcast television and production, sports broadcasting and venues, and field production/ENG applications including military use cases.
