Telethon – Multichannel Hybrid Transport System

Telecast’s Teleport meets Python II to create the ultimate Hybrid SDI/HD-SDI and CWDM transport, the Telethon.

On the Teleport side it can turn any optical signal into CWDM (coarse wavelength division mulitplexer) up to 2.5Gbps on each channel, mux 8 digital signals on one fibre (4 each way) and optically repeat signals - extending the range of the kit.

On the Python side you get up to 8 channels per 1RU chassis, wide range of digital formats and from 19.4Mbps to 1.5Gbps transport. It is compatible with digital TV standards SMPTE 292M & 259M, handles DVB/ASI signals and has BNC input/output.

The true value of Telethon comes from its ability to accept an optical signal and re-transmit it on a CWDM wavelength, so wheather your using a new SHED or a 10 year old adder the Telethon gives you fresh optical budget. The Telethon is the latest tool to reduce the cost and complexity of moving large number of wideband signals through fixed or mobile infrastructures.

Teleport – CWDM Wavelength Manager

Telecast’s Teleport multiplies the effectiveness of your fibre optic cables and solves your high bandwidth signal transport needs. The results are lower cable costs and simpler management of your broadcast facilities.

Coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) has become the preferred approach to optical multiplexing in digital video/audio communications because of it’s reliability and cost advantages. Designing systems around CWDM however can be a complex task. The Teleport makes CWDM easy, flexible and economical
