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.

This white paper reviews proprietary Oracle/Sun/STK and IBM drives, which up until recently were considered enterprise, but are now competing relatively poorly with LTO. LTO, including LTO-5 and LTO-4, effectively serves the enterprise, as well as mid-sized organizations. LTO's advantage is, in part, due to its cost effectiveness; the proprietary drives are simply not cost competitive.

Companies Mentioned in this Press Release:Business Categories Mentioned in this Press Release: MultiDyne Video & Fiber Optic Systems, a premier provider of fiber optic-based video and audio transport solutions for broadcast and pro A/V applications, is introducing theSilverBULLET™ Mini 3G HD/SDI fiber optic link at InfoComm (Booth 4629). This two-part, transceiver/receiver solution, designed for the transmission of SDI and HD-SDI TV signals over a single-mode fiber optic cable, maintains the signal quality that broadcasters demand – 5 Mbps to 3 Gbps. At just three inches in length, this cost-effective solution is ideal for a wide variety of pro A/V and broadcast applications, including video production and editing, ENG with additional uses for sports teleproduction, field production, remote camera links, cross-campus production, pre-fibered venues and courtesy feeds.
The tiny transmitter and receiver modules are portable, lightweight solutions for remote productions. Utilizing LED indicators to digitally display critical system diagnostic information including the Power On, HD/SDI signal presence and Received Optical Power levels, the SilverBULLET eliminates the need for the weight of additional test equipment. With error free pathological pattern operation, low system jitter and embedded audio support, the SilverBULLET provides a typical link distance of up to 18.6 miles (30 km).
“An economical solution for the fiber optic transport of 5 Mbps to 3 Gbps HDTV signals, the SilverBULLET is one of the broadcast industry’s smallest media adaptor solutions with the broadest range of digital rates,” says Jim Jachetta, senior vice president of engineering and product development. “It is a must-have for production at any location because it is a mobile solution that provides reliability and efficiency, all while continuing to meet our users’ high expectations for signal quality.”
Designed for quick and easy installation, the SilverBULLET supports transmission across SMPTE 424M 2.97 Gbps, SMPTE 292M 1.485 Gbps and SMPTE 259M 270 Mbps standards regardless of format. The transmitter modules also include equalization for long lengths of coaxial cable, further easing the installation process as users can incorporate the SilverBULLET at any point in the HD/SDI chain. Built for high durability, the SilverBULLET features an over-molded construction with a rugged “ST” simplex optical interface and 75 Ohm BNC (male) simplex electrical interface.
The SilverBULLET is compatible with any DC voltage from 5 to 16 volts with a four pin XLR. The jack also provides for SNMP monitoring, a critical component to network management.

June 2009, the multi-screen video era formally began. Two prominent service and content providers promised to take high-quality TV programming far beyond the conventional home TV set to a vast array of other video displays,
such as personal computers, laptops, notebooks, video game consoles, iPads, mobile phones, and other
portable devices.
The embrace of this "three screen strategy" highlights
the growing importance of digital video quality.
These challenges can be overcome with an intensified end-to-end QoS+QoE network monitoring approach, from headend to playback device while making sure that all of the
points along the way are well covered.
