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: At IBC2010, Telecast Fiber Systems will unveil the CopperHead™ Pro, a camera-mounted fiber optic transceiver specifically designed for high-definition (HD) image magnification (I-MAG) applications in houses of worship, music venues, and corporate events. The CopperHead Pro offers a versatile and affordable solution that leverages the light weight, high reliability, and superior quality of fiber cable for projecting high-quality HD images.
“Until now, churches and many other types of A/V venues have not been able to take advantage of camera-mounted fiber optic solutions for I-MAG, because the cost has been prohibitive. At the same time, audience expectations for high-quality projected video have increased, along with the quality of HD projectors and displays,” said Jim Hurwitz, director of product management for Telecast Fiber Systems. “The CopperHead Pro directly addresses these requirements with a solution that is specifically tailored to the I-MAG market, at a price that is affordable for any production team.”
The compact CopperHead Pro camera unit sandwiches instantly between any HD/SDI video camera and a professional battery system such as Anton-Bauer® or "V"-Mount, transporting uncompressed HD video signals from the camera to the control room via either tactical fiber or hybrid SMPTE cable. The system provides complete camera control as well as full bi-directional intercom and tally -- all of the signals the producer and crew need for the highest-quality image magnification in venues ranging from the smallest church to the largest arena or stadium.
All CopperHead systems are available directly from Telecast Fiber Systems, or via a network of authorized CopperHead dealers. For a demonstration of the CopperHead Pro visit Telecast Fiber Systems at IBC2010, stand 10.B39.

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.
