Telecast has released a Fiber Optics in ENG and SNG White Paper that is a guide to applications, systems integration and field deployments.  We developed this guide to assist non-engineering broadcast professionals in making critical decisions during the transition to 100% HDTV programming.

Not since the transition to color nearly a half century ago has the television broadcast infrastructure experienced such a dramatic shift in technology. Because of the vastly increased bandwidth requirements of HDTV signals, fiber optic technology is certain to play an expanding role in program production at all levels – ENG and SNG included.

The White Paper is divided into four parts:

• The first part introduces the basics of fiber optic technology at a level accessible to the nontechnical broadcast news professional.
• Part two reviews the factors involved in transitioning to fiber optics: planning, components required, possible system configurations for basic applications, and alternative approaches to multicamera systems.
• Part three deals with the practical aspects of system deployment, field maintenance and troubleshooting.
• The Appendix has a glossary of terms and a comparison chart showing maximum distances allowed for fiber- and copper-based systems at various signal bandwidths.

We hope this guide helps our customers and potential customers better understand where fiber can be used in their ENG and SNG applications.  Register to get the white paper and if we can be of any assitance in helping you with your application please do not hesitate to contact us.
