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: Telecast Fiber Systems and JVC Professional Products, a division of JVC U.S.A., today unveiled the CopperHead™ ProHD KA-F790 camera-mounted fiber optic transceiver at IBC2010 in Amsterdam. Built exclusively for the JVC GY-HM790 ProHD camera, it is the first CopperHead to provide a direct connection to a camcorder without requiring external cables. The new KA-F790 will be demonstrated at IBC through Sept. 14 by JVC Professional Europe Ltd. (Booth 10.D41).
Using a 68-pin connector on the back of the GY-HM790, the compact KA-F790 attaches directly to the camera body and enables broadcasters to leverage the GY-HM790’s full studio functionality in the field. It connects the camera via SMPTE hybrid (powered) or tactical (unpowered) fiber optic cable to a truck, control room, or “video village” position.
The system simultaneously transports bidirectional digital (SDI or HD-SDI) and analog (NTSC or PAL) video, as well as all two-way camera control, audio, video, data, sync, tally/call, prompter, and intercom signals between the camera head and the remote CopperHead Base Station. The lightweight, 1 RU Base Station is easily integrated into any studio, mobile truck, or portable flypack – and plugs directly into a facility's switcher, router, intercom, and house sync systems.
“Since its unveiling at this year’s NAB show, the GY-HM790 has received rave reviews for excellent HD image quality as well as its versatility for both studio and ENG use,” said Steve DeFrancesco, vice president and general manager of Telecast Fiber Systems. “And now, our new CopperHead ProHD KA-F790 makes it easy and seamless for GY-HM790 users to leverage the range, quality, and reliability of fiber for their remote productions.”
“With the CopperHead ProHD systems from Telecast Fiber Systems, GY-HM790 users can have the convenience and performance of fiber on location,” said Lon Mass, vice president of sales and marketing, JVC Professional Products. “The customized KA-F790 transceiver fits directly on the camera, which provides an elegant, reliable, and streamlined fiber optic solution.”
The CopperHead ProHD systems will be available in November. In the United States, it will be sold by JVC Professional Products as a complete package (camera module and base station), with different configurations to support Clear-Com and RTS intercom systems.

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.
