With sports-network and venue fiber needs constantly expanding, Telecast Fiber is looking to keep up with the new demands. Leading the way is SuperBooth, a suite of products packaged specifically for golf events and other demanding sports broadcasts.

The SuperBooth includes the Telecast Adder II audio, intercom, and data multiplexer; the DiamondBack 4x4 audio and video multiplexer; the Telethon HD/SDI CWDM Mux, and a new dual-redundant AC/DC RackBack power system.

Also new is the CopperHead DLV3X1 camera-mounted dual-link fiber-optic transceiver, which converts electrical signals to fiber to move uncompressed 4:4:4 and 4:2:2 signals between the camera head and a recording device over one fiber-optic cable. Replacing three or four coax cables with the DLV3X1 reduces the bulk and weight of camera cabling and increases transmission distances to as far as 9 miles.

Lastly, the DiamondBack 4x4 NTSC/PAL video multiplexer with Ethernet can transmit four broadcast-quality analog video signals in each direction and can accommodate audio, intercom, and data signals from the company’s Adder II audio multiplexer line.
