DWDM enables native transport of D1 Video to deliver cost-effective, high quality, survivable video transmission in Metro Access and Interoffice Networks Booth #329 For more information contact: Elaine Bird - Cambrian Systems (613) 599-6060 ext: 4370 (Office) (613) 591-2035 (Fax) Steve Storozum - Video Products Group (805) 375-2855 (Office) Kanata, Ontario, September 8, 1998 - Cambrian Systems Corporation, a leader in metropolitan dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) solutions, and Video Products Group (VPG), a leading provider of broadcast quality video transport equipment, are working together to demonstrate the interoperability of Cambrian's OPTeraTM transport system and VPG's VPG8000 serial digital video transport multiplexer. The transport of D1 video using survivable DWDM in the metropolitan area network enables carriers to address the demand for highly reliable and cost-effective transport services to post-production houses and studios for broadcast quality video. By utilizing survivable digital video transport services, post-production houses and studios realize the time and cost savings that are not possible when video tapes are physically sent between locations. This solution will be demonstrated at the National Fiber Optics Engineering Conference (NFOEC), in Orlando, September 13-17th, in the Cambrian Booth (#329). "Bandwidth demand continues to grow in all portions of the network," said Mathew Steinberg, Director of Optical Networking at ryan hankin kent, "As carriers look to offer new services and private networks look to carry different traffic types, the demonstration of interoperability is essential." "Our VPG8000 digital video transmission system cost-effectively provides quality D1 video and audio transport over dedicated fiber. This includes applications such as distant studio-to-post production facility links, distribution throughout campuses or within studios, and connections from studio to head-end, video server, or national broadcast network," said Steve Storozum, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Video Products Group. "VPG chose to collaborate with Cambrian on this demonstration because OPTera represents the most reliable and efficient transport solution for metropolitan areas over a single fiber infrastructure. This translates directly to better service offerings from the carriers." "This interoperability demonstration with VPG further validates OPTera's flexibility enabling carriers to deliver a diverse array of value-added applications such as digital video transport services," said Solomon Wong, Assistant Vice President of Marketing for Cambrian Systems. "Coupled with its ability to transport native data interfaces as well as SONET and SDH, OPTera positions the carrier to respond quickly to unpredictable service demand." The OPTera survivable metropolitan DWDM transport system delivers 32 protected (64 unprotected) wavelengths or channels for a total capacity scalable to 80 gigabits per second over a single strand of single mode fiber. OPTera's modular, cost-effective architecture enables direct bit-rate and protocol independent transport of a broad range of signals including SONET/SDH, Gigabit Ethernet, D1 Video, fiber channel, ESCON and other signal formats up to 2.5 gigabits per second with or without optical amplifiers. OPTera networks can be deployed in survivable ring or point-to-point configurations. The VPG8000 digital video transmission system cost-effectively provides contribution quality D1 video and audio transport over dedicated fiber for applications such as long-distance studio-to-post production facility links, distribution around campuses or within studios, and connections from studio to head-end, video server, or national broadcast network. It also features robust network management with Error Detection and Handling (EDH) support, machine control handling and flexible audio options with unique digital audio synchronization capability About Video Products Group Video Products Group designs, manufactures and markets video transport equipment for broadcast and professional-quality video production and contribution applications. Located in Newbury Park, California, near Los Angeles, VPG serves the common carrier market and broadcast/production communities.
