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.
