Python II System

Telecast Python II Multi-Channel Fiber Optic HD/SD SDI System

This device eliminates the distance limitations and noise problems inherent in coaxial cabling, going hundreds of times farther with a cable that is only one-tenth the size of equivalent coax. It carries virtually any SDI signal and has CWDM optical multiplexing options to carry up to 16 HD signals on one optical fiber.

The Python II offers the industry's broadest range of digital transmission rates while maintaining the quality that broadcasters demand. It supports numerous interface standards, including applicable SMPTE, ATSC, and DVB recommendations.
