Telecast is the company that manufactures fiber optic video and audio systems for television broadcast production, such as televised sports, news and entertainment. Products, including Viper, Cobra, Adder, Sidewinder, Python and Diamondback, are used worldwide by television networks, stations, production companies, universities and government agencies. These snake systems use one lightweight, durable cable to handle all signals used in today's television production, including digital SDI and HDTV video, NTSC/PAL analog video, mic/line audio, AES/EBU audio, intercom, triaxial camera communications and control, and even telephone communications. Fiber optics offer ten times the distance with only one-tenth the weight. Labor is reduced, and quality is increased. Telecast Fiber Systems are used at virtually all major events, including the Olympics, Super Bowls, World Cup soccer, Tour de France, skiing, auto racing and golf, including The Masters. Telecommunications providers use Telecast Fiber Systems for video-based laser optical networking applications.
