Speed Matters! Whether you're editing video or making DVDs, you have to shove big files around your network, and no one likes to wait for file transfers!
Wideband Gigabit Ethernet allows FAST networking over existing cables WITHOUT REWIRING. The superior design of these Tier-One NICs and Switches make them a requirement for your video or DVD installation. Eliminate the wait with Wideband NICs (Network Interface Cards), Switches, and even an ultra-fast Terrabyte server! Perfect for PCs (and Macintosh® computers that already have gigabit ports). Now, Gigabit Ethernet over existing cables without rewiring.
All the Wideband products are Tier-One (First Class), comparable to the best of 3-Com® and Cisco®, but with a surprisingly low cost. And it's all American Made and 100% tested... every one!
Reliability is the key. No one really wants a network of any kind. We just want the files to be there automagically when we want them. If you MUST have a network, get a gigabit network that is transparent to your real work and won't bog you down. Wideband NICs and Switches are so good that they will operate extremely well over CAT5e cable, existing CAT5, and even pretty well over CAT3 phone-type cable (That's just to show off. It does have to negotiate to a slower speed.) Wideband made the news by running a Gigabit Ethernet segment over 8 strands of barbed wire! The point is that Wideband Gigabit Ethernet is reliable even when 10/100Base-T networks are intermittent!

Wideband Gigabit Switch: 8 or 16 Ports Managed & Unmanaged Versions
The Switch is the heart of the network, and this one auto-senses 10/100/1000Base-T
so it fits in with any existing network environment. The Managed version is controllable over your
LAN or direct connection to a terminal.

Wideband 32-bit Workstation NIC Auto-Sense 10/100/1000Base-T, Auto-configuration, Auto-Negotiation, Auto-MDI-X, PCI 2.2, PCI-X, 1.0, Bus Speeds from 32/33 to 64/133 The NIC is your workstation's link to the network, and all NICs are NOT the same! There are cheaper NICs on the market, and more expensive, but there are none better. Auto MDI-X is really cool! It detects the difference between a crossover cable and a straight cable (568A/B) and figures it out automatically. (We don't suggest mixing cable types, but it happens.) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Wideband 64-bit Server NIC
The Server NIC is faster and more powerful because it has a 64-bit data path available. One of these server NICs really belongs in the video editing computer as well as the server.

fsix Terran Raid 5 Serverpronounced physics
The Terran Server is really a killer box! Besides the no-compromise construction, it features the Unix-like fsix operating system and is so much faster than other operating systems. Two Gigabit Ethernet adapters can be teamed together to provide a 2Gbps pipe to the server.

| Support your local dealer! If there's a Wideband Dealer in your area, buy there, and please tell them BCD sent you. If not, buy from BCD. The Internet has changed the way people buy. Local dealers often invest a lot of time in demonstrations and sales presentations, only to see their client buy online from some box house. We've gone to Wideband and put in the time to be trained and certified to know the products, but it's best if your in-house (or local) network person advises you on your specific network topology. We'll sell to you, but only if you can't get it locally. |
