Telecast Python 4/4 4K
The Python 3G is your answer to lowering the cost of digital video distribution, simplifying your cable plant and eliminating all concerns about distance, interference and grounding. The Python 3G converts up to two groups of 8-channels of HD-SDI to fiber optic transport, all in a compact 1 RU frame.
4 bi-directional channels per 1 RU
Wide range of digital formats
19.4 Mb/s to 3 Gb/s transport
Handles DVB/ASI signals
Immune to pathological data errors
Equalizes coax up to 3 Gb/s
CWDM multiplexing options
Compatible with other Grass Valley HD/SD-SDI transport systems

Plexsis 4/4 Way 4K
Plexsis provides transport of 8 SDI (HD, 3G and SD) signals over a single optical fibre, and up to 16 when linking two systems, the Plexsis is available in two configurations (8 channels on one direction or 4 in both directions), with each of these available in the high or low wavelength band. All SDI ports are fully re-clocked, meaning that jitter caused by long coaxial runs will not affect the maximum optical run length and vice versa.The front panel OLED screen displays optical power, SDI signal presence, temperature and system voltages, and alarms can be set up to trigger an audible tone or relay contact closure, giving peace of mind when it comes to detecting and resolving distance, grounding and interference issues.
4/4 x 3G-SDI over one fibre
Automatic cable equalisation
Multi-rate re-clocking with automatic rate detection
Both AC and DC power inputs provides flexibility and power redundancy
Supports SD, HD and 3G SDI
Wide DC input range 9-36V
Full colour front panel display
Optical expansion port

Lawo V Pro 8
The V__pro8 is the perfect tool to connect different video formats as well as to connect between audio and video. High-quality format conversion, color correction as well as audio embedding and de-embedding make the V__pro8 a compact and powerful video processor that builds bridges between different worlds and formats.
Two high-density MADI audio ports provide efficient video-to-audio bridging within the studio infrastructure. The V__pro 8 works as a flexible matrix system: using its 8 x 8 video matrix and 384 x 384 audio matrix, it is possible to switch any signal to any other.
A modern GUI based on HTML5 provides an ideal interface for easy handling of day-to-day work. Here’s how it works: eight high-quality 3G SDI de-embedders and a corresponding number of embedders are looped into the eight video signals according to your preferences.
This enables any number of audio signals to be used from the video material, and new audio signals to be embedded into the video signal — a simple, reliable and efficient solution.
The V__pro8 can be configured via an easy-to-understand HTML 5-based touch screen interface that runs directly within the web browser. No software installation is needed. As a result, you benefit not only from state-of-the-art user-guidance, but also from elegant animations and many, practical features such as the video channel preview on your GUI.
In addition, the web-based approach enables the user to access all V__line devices from anywhere within the network — a feature especially useful in bigger set-ups or in outside broadcast productions with long-distance links.
Frame sync for each of the 8 channels
Variable audio and video delays for each channel
RGB Color correction & Proc Amp for each channel
Two Surround-to-stereo downmixers per embedder
Frame Phaser and Line Phaser modes
Embedding and de-embedding incl. SRC for each channel
Up/Down/Cross format & AR conversion for two channels
Internal 8×8 video and 384×384 audio routing matrix

Telecast SHED HDX
SHED stands for SMPTE Hybrid Elimination Device, and that is what it is. It is a small adapter that allows you to use ordinary single-mode optical fibre for your HD, 4K and slow-motion camera links and in your venue/facility infrastructure, and eliminate bulky hybrid wire/ fibre.
SHED adapter shown with HDX camera power unit cables. Use two small adapters — one at your base station and one at your camera — and locally power your camera, or use the HDX unit to power the camera through the hybrid tail cable. With the SHED units you can support several cameras on one lightweight fibre cable.
Allows the use of conventional single-mode fiber cable
Uses common SMPTE ST 304 connectors for a hybrid link
Extends manufacturer’s distance limits of the camera/CCU
Supports Sony cameras
Built-in optical power meter
Cameras Supported: Sony 1500/1500R/2500/4300
