Iris RecognitionMultiple uncompressed HD signals now possible over 10Gbps - long distance Free Space Optical Connections – The highest performance of any wireless link
Campbell, California – AOptix Technologies, Inc., (AOptix) (www.aoptix.com) a leadingedge developer of ultra-high bandwidth laser communication solutions and television microwave services provider Total RF, today announce recent successful Free SpaceOptical (FSO) lasercom link transmission tests for a national sports television network in New York and San Jose.
Recent demonstrations showcased the benefit of eliminating a long fiber run to an HD camera feed above the New York skyline. The AOptix broadcast lasercom terminals were located atop the GM Building on 5th Avenue and near the production truck, 1kmaway in Central Park. The 2.5Gbps bi-directional link consisted of an uncompressed 1080i camera and gigabit Ethernet feeds through a single, line of site, single-mode-fiber connection.
In San Jose, two additional long-distance demonstrations showcased the portability and ease of set-up for the AOptix system. TV network engineering executives were impressed when observing error-free performance at distances of .6km and 3.2km. Continuous un-compressed HD-SDI and SD-SDI video feeds along with gigabit Ethernet, audio, and production line comms were transmitted over DWDM lasercom. Terminals were placed on the rooftops and inside a mobile van on a parking garage roof.
“The new broadcast lasercom system from AOptix, offers a complete wireless solution for multiple HD feeds - from the remote cameras, audio and controls to the mobile studio for post production” said Bruce Carpenter, Director of Sales, Commercial Communication Systems at AOptix. “At the center of the AOptix system is the LCT-5 lasercom terminal providing the 10 Gbps FSO wireless transmission. The backend I/Ohardware completes the solution with a generic interface for standard broadcast equipment, supporting multiple configurations of uncompressed 1080i & 720p video, AES Audio, RTS Intercom and GIG-E.”
To achieve stability and link quality over the air, the LCT-5 uses AOptix Technologies proprietary Adaptive Optics technology to compensate for atmospheric distortions in realtime. This revolutionary approach to FSO, minimizes the effects of atmospheric scintillation, dramatically enhancing link availability.
“There’s no licensing or spectral limitations with lasercom. I just think there’s a lot ofopportunity here. I think it can definitely fill a niche. It can replace a lot of the RF links that are in the microwave business today in television broadcasts. I think it’s going to bea real future technology.” says, Steve Gansky, President of Total RF.
“What we saw is very impressive. It looks like this is a very interesting technology thatcould have several uses in the broadcast industry for moving multiple video and data feeds across an open space. We’re looking forward to trying it out.” said one TV engineering executive.
