Telecast Fiber Systems

Introduction

The introduction of the Telecast Fiber Systems Adder™ AES/EBU transmission system

       marks a new level of modularity and flexibility for the Telecast family of Digital Fiber-
       Optic Snakes. The system multiplexes up to 8 AES/EBU signals and transmits them on
       a single optical fiber to a reciever where the signals are restored. This product

complements Telecast’s comprehensive line of audio, video, data and intercom
products and insures that you have digital audio to go with your digital video.

System Components

The Adder AES/EBU system is comprised of a transmitter and a receiver. These units

       occupy only a single rack space each and are powered by wall mount power trans
       formers. Rack ears and screws are included.

After unpacking, inspect the units for mechanical damage. Also check all electrical

       connectors and cables for bent or damages pins. Report any damage to the carrier and
       to Telecast Fiber Systems, Inc.

System Features

 Eight stereo AES Digital Audio channels or 16 audio channels
 User-selectable sampling rates of 32, 44.056, 44.1 and 48 KHz
 External synchronization to any valid AES source from 25 to 50 KHz
 All steel construction

Advantages

 Electrical isolation between sites
 Inherent immunity to both EMI and RFI
 No signal degradation
 No ground loops
 Transmission distances up to 5 km with multimode fiber
 High bandwidth allows 8 multiplexed signals to share one fiber  reducing the size

and weight of cable system

 Multimode or optional singlemode operation
 Easy installation and field setup
