"The Canobeam provides the same benefits offered by fibre, but without the physical restraints of cabling," said Gordon Tubbs, director of the Canon broadcast and communications division. "Like fibre, the system is protocol-independent and thus integrates easily with the Telecast SHED/HDX solution. Because it transmits uncompressed data, users can move media content between two sites without delay. Our Canobeam technology pairs up very well with the SHED/HDX system to provide unique functionality and offer the broad base of existing Telecast customers an attractive solution for remote HD production."
"Our fibre linking products integrate just as smoothly with the Canobeam system as they do with fibre, so broadcasters working with this product pair enjoy high-quality transmission, more flexible acquisition, and more affordable capture of unique and engaging HD images," said Richard Cerny, president of Telecast Fiber Systems. "When signal quality is of critical concern and a traditional fibre installation simply isn't feasible, the combination of the SHED/HDX and Canobeam offers broadcasters a reliable, end-to-end HD transmission solution."
