Telecast's Python 3G is your answer to lowering the cost of digital video distribution, simplifying your cable plant and eliminating all concerns about distance, interference and grounding.
The Python 3G converts up to four groups of four-channels of HD/SDI to pristine fiber optic transport, all in a compact 1RU frame. Select a transmitter and a receiver frame for eight or sixteen channels, for example, in one direction. Select two transceiver frames for, say, eight channels in each direction.
Or use our miniature Rattlers™ in conjunction with the Python 3G frames to distribute signals to and from several locations simultaneously. Since most Telecast SD/HD products can interface with the Python 3G, you can create just the topology you need.
In addition, Python 3G has CWDM optical multiplexing options to carry up to 16 HD signals on a single optical fiber.
The Python 3G offers the industry's broadest range of digital transmission rates while maintaining the quality that broadcasters demand. It supports numerous interface standards, including applicable SMPTE, ATSC, and DVB recommendations.
No matter what your format, the Python II allows you to implement it, including:
- 19.4 Mbps ATSC
- 143 Mbps NTSC composite
- 177 Mbps PAL composite
- 270 Mbps Serial component
- DVB/ASI
- 360 Mbps Serial component and compressed HDTV
- 540 Mbps Proprietary
- 3 Gbps HD-SDI
Future Proof
This is your opportunity to cable once and future-proof your installation. The Python 3G eliminates all the limitations of coaxial cable, enabling you to reach hundreds of times farther with a cable that is only one tenth the size of equivalent coax. Fiber now or fiber later, your choice.
