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 launch a new family of HD/POV fiber optic video/data transceiver modules specifically designed for robotic camera applications. In addition to providing all of the proven functionality of the company’s original HD/POV solutions, the new HD/POV links now provide the option of Ethernet control and are housed in small, ruggedized Mini-Mussel Shell field enclosures at a new, lower price.
As the next generation of Telecast Fiber Systems’ popular and well-established Viper™ family of fiber optic production systems, the new Mini-Mussel Shells provide a portable and compact universal enclosure for the company’s new line of “T-Block” Viper function modules. Mini-Mussel Shells can be mixed and matched to provide highly customized, portable solutions for electronic field production. Each Mini-Mussel has all of the features customers have come to expect from Viper, including integral optical power metering, informative system LED indicators, and an assortment of powering options.
Telecast Fiber Systems’ HD/POV modules are an important component in remotely operated, robotic POV camera systems — enabling unique points of view and camera angles at sports venues and other locations in which human-operated cameras would not be feasible. In one compelling example, the HD/POV modules were used to deliver high-quality HD video, audio, and data signals for NASCAR’s Digger “Gopher Cam” specialized remote-camera systems, which provided a “gopher’s-eye view” of race car action at the track level. Now, the newest HD/POV links will enable easy and high-performance data exchange via Ethernet fiber connections.
“Our new Mini-Mussel Shells with the latest generation of HD/POV modules give broadcasters more flexibility than ever before for transporting high-quality HD signals over long distances via fiber,” said Steve DeFrancesco, vice president and general manager of Telecast Fiber Systems. “They offer another reason why our Viper product line is the top pick for broadcasters who require maximum flexibility and performance to meet their most challenging field production requirements.”

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.
