  • MultiDyne launches VF-9100 at InfoComm 2026 for advanced AV signal transport and monitoring.
  • VF-9100 supports AES, IP audio workflows with new hardware, controller, and connectivity options.
  • Crescendo enables advanced audio monitoring and analysis across traditional and IP-based environments.

MultiDyne Video & Fiber Optic Systems is set to introduce significant advancements in audio transport and monitoring at InfoComm 2026. The company's highlight for the event is the introduction of the VersaFrame VF-9100 fiber transport platform to the AV industry.

This marks the platform's first appearance before professional AV audiences, following its initial introduction to the broadcast sector at NAB Show 2026. The VF-9100 arrives with enhanced capabilities that extend beyond traditional video signal transport, featuring a robust hardware controller with RESTful API support for seamless third-party integration.

Expanded Functionality and Design

The VF-9100 showcases several upgrades, including a redesigned chassis with improved card guides for easier field servicing, and enhanced rack-mount options suitable for flypack deployments.

The addition of powerful internal power supplies further augments its utility, supporting new transport modules across audio, serial data, GPIO, and genlock/timecode. This enhancement extends the VF-9100's role as a versatile signal transport platform, capable of conveying two AES audio pairs or four channels of analog audio per-VFC card over fiber.

Comprehensive Signal Transport Platform

With support for CWDM multiplexing, the VF-9100 allows audio to seamlessly accompany video, data, and other signals over a shared fiber infrastructure. 

The platform integrates 1GbE & 10GbE connectivity, accommodating IP audio workflows with support for Dante and AES67 transport standards. Jesse Foster, Director of Strategic Accounts and Products for MultiDyne, remarked, "Audio is becoming increasingly important within converged AV and broadcast environments, and our customers need flexible ways to move, monitor and manage those signals across modern infrastructures."

Advancements in Audio Monitoring

MultiDyne also introduces the Crescendo platform, designed to offer advanced confidence monitoring and analysis for both traditional and IP-based audio environments. Its flagship model, the C16-AM-12G, offers 12G-SDI audio monitoring along with optional Dante and SMPTE ST 2110-30 connectivity, enabling operators to manage audio-over-IP and conventional signal paths simultaneously.

Crescendo is engineered for broadcast-quality performance in a compact 1RU format, providing dynamic range audio monitoring and seamless integration with control environments like Ross Dashboard.

Synergy in Live Event Productions

Combined, the VF-9100 and Crescendo platforms deliver AV professionals a comprehensive solution for signal transport, distribution, and confidence monitoring across both traditional and IP infrastructures.

InfoComm 2026 attendees can view these systems at the MultiDyne booth, where company specialists will demonstrate their collaborative functionality in modern AV, broadcast, and live event production settings.
