Telecast Fiber Systems Solutions to be Featured Onboard FileCaster™

Demo HD Production Truck Takes Latest Mobile Broadcasting Technologies on the Road Right After NAB Show 

 

WORCESTER, Mass. April 8, 2009 — Advanced fiber optic video and audio systems from Telecast Fiber Systems will be front and center aboard the FileCaster™, a traveling showcase of the latest mobile broadcasting technologies from the 2009 NAB Show. Telecast is among only 10 vendors that were chosen as exclusive technology providers for the FileCaster, which will tour 14 U.S. West Coast cities immediately following the NAB Show.  

Designed and sponsored by TV Pro Gear, Inc., the FileCaster is a hybrid six-camera HD mobile production truck with satellite transmission that incorporates the latest technologies available for mobile broadcasting. The FileCaster national tour is designed to be a one-stop shop for broadcasters to learn about the latest gear and see it in a working studio configuration. TV Pro Gear experts will be on hand to demonstrate how to implement a tapeless workflow, how to maximize studio efficiencies, how to leverage portable fiber systems for low-cost and reliable transmissions, and many other topics. 

On board the FileCaster will be Telecast Fiber Systems’ Mini BoothPack, a specialized bundle of Telecast solutions that includes the Telecast TelePort™ CWDM wavelength manager, Adder II™ modular audio, intercom, and data multiplexing system, and DiamondBack™ 4x4 NTSC/PAL video multiplexer. The FileCaster will also feature Telecast’s CopperHead™ camera-mounted fiber optic multiplexing system and SHED™/HDX™ simple hybrid elimination device and power adapter system.  

“We are honored to be chosen to participate in the FileCaster collection of solutions, and we are in some excellent company — including Panasonic, Harris, and Apple™,” said Richard Cerny, president of Telecast Fiber Systems. “The FileCaster is an exciting opportunity for us to demonstrate our award-winning fiber solutions and how they can maximize the capabilities of any organization that utilizes audio and video, such as TV broadcasters, houses of worship, and sports stadiums and arenas.”
