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.
