Solving Contribution & Distribution Challenges

BROADCAST STATIONS Using the TW-400 for STL (Studio to Transmitter Links) enables KBTX-TV to consolidate equipment and upgrade to HDTV while continuing to use their existing microwave transports.

POST PRODUCTION SUITESMaintaining contribution-quality HDTV and SDTV between editing suites and local affiliates while controlling network costs is achieved by transcoding into SMPTE 310 or Mezzanine-Level 270 and transporting in real-time, or by transporting non-realtime using video-over-IP.

EVENT VENUES / REMOTE PRODUCTION VANS MRN, “The Voice of NASCAR” configured their remote production truck with TW-400’s to backhaul live race coverage, non-realtime transfer of video over IP to post production suites, and integrated voice and LAN communication with their home office, broadcast centers, and editing suites.

NETWORK OPERATION CENTERSBy reducing footprint, power, and heat, a major video longhaul carrier expanded bandwidth in theirNOC without expanding facilities - and realized 60% savings in transport costs using our DynamicBandwidth Concentration to consolidate multiple network transports.

INTERACTIVE DISTANCE LEARNINGIowa Communications Network deployed over 400 nodes tounify its voice, video, and data services across their 3000-milestatewide network - carrying HDTV, interactive classroom video,voice, & 10/100bT over a single SONET backhaul.

CATVA national US space center deploys the TW-400 as a CATVhead-end device, multiplexing dozens of channels for video sur-veillance and instructional television.

VIDEO TRANSPORT FOR CNN & NBCA regional MSO chose the TW-400 for its reliability in transport-ing national broadcast services. Additional value was suppliedfrom bandwidth consolidation that enables up to 400% moreuseable bandwidth over existing network pipes.

40% CAPEX REDUCTIONSeparate encoders, transcoders,and transport chassis are typical-ly required to achieve what ourTW-400 delivers in a single plat-form - immediately saving youover 40% in capital equipment cost.

Only the TW-400 architecture provides the versatility to select encoding options for today’s short-term require-ments . . . and the flexibility to adapt to evolutionary needs. Using hot-swappable modules, our system architec-ture guarantees a future-proofed strategy for your investment.

CONVERGENCE ENGINEThe backplane supports over 2Gbps of traffic in each direction simultaneously, making the unit robust enough toprovide bi-directional Studio-to-Transmitter links supporting simultaneous video, FM radio and remote truck

transmissions. Up to four720 Mbps streams (2 up and2 downstream) can run con-currently on a single chassis,and multiple chassis can bedaisy-chained to gang addi-tional services into a coordi-nated network.

OPEX SAVINGSBy reducing the footprint, heat, and power requirements, you can relieve congestion in crowded NetworkOperating Centers, transmitter huts, CATV headends, and post-production suites. And with our remote, central-ized element management system, you can significantly simplify maintenance and provisioning.

UNIVERSAL VIDEO ADAPTATION, ENCODING & TRANSCODING Our family of video modules can solve any encoding challenge. Each video module features automatic calibration/setup,multiple video and audio ports, and a logical range of encoding and decoding options. For example, the VAU module pro-vides real-time MPEG-2 encoding / decoding of NTSC, PAL, or SDI signals. Fully compatible with industry standards, italso encapsulates (or deconstructs) the signal into either DVB-ASI or IP streams for transport.

Choose the VSIM module to process dual streams of composite video, SDI, or Mezzanine HDTV at 270Mbps inbound/out-bound without compression or data loss. Compliant with SDI, SDTI, and DVB-ASI, you can use this VSIM in conjunctionwith our SMPTE 310 module to provide integrated DVB-ASI to DVB-SSI (SMPTE 310) conversion.

CENTRALIZED, POINT-&-CLICK MANAGEMENT Using the TMS management system, you remotely provision video adaptation parameters such as compression rates andencapsulation methods, control allocation of bandwidth and modify quality-of-service levels. All signals are observable inthe digital domain, and calibration items like color burst frequency or composite luminance / chromanance levels can becontrolled remotely using the web-based user interface.

Regardless of your current transport and network environment, we will gladly come to your studio and demothe TW-400 using any video feed and network transport you’re using today - or want to use tomorrow!.

Standards-based network modules assure plug-&-play compatibility and feature automatic setup and synchro-nization with any ATM, IP, or SONET network ADM In addition, our long-reach 1550nm optics lets you reachnetwork nodes up to 75km away. You can also choose to deploy either point-to-point topologies or point-to-mul-tipoint to gain aggregation and concentration of service from several sites to maximize bandwidth utilization.For example, using the DS-3 network module with the SMPTE 310 SIM coupled with the VSIM, you can simul-taneously transport both HDTV compressed and SDTV streams, as well as Ethernet data and TDM traffic (T1)over a single DS-3 circuit.

DS3 COAX Since many local affiliates use uWave for their Studio-to-Transmitter (STL) link, we provide direct coax con-nectivity to support your legacy transport investments.

ATMWidely known as the transport-of-choice for multi-service traffic, ATM provides the Quality-of-Service guaran-tees and efficient bandwidth utilization that lowers operating costs while assuring mission-critical service levelsfor all your demanding video applications.

SONET / SDH As the dominant transport medium throughout the world, compatibility with SONET/SDH ADMs is mandatory.Out standards-based compatibility lets you achieve plug-&-play access to any ADM tributary anywhere.

IP . . . TWO OPTIONSIf you wish to access a pure IP network, the Ethernet port provided on every transport module will tie directlyto Ethernet edge routers. Optionally, Video-over-IP can be encoded over traditional SONET or ATM backhaulsand then groomed out to the IP switch at the Central Office.

DVB/ASI . . . AVOIDING THE TARIFF TAXWhile network surcharges and tariffs apply to any traditional nationwide data transport, current FCC regula-tions will enable tariff-free transport of data services using DVB/ASI channels. Our SMPTE-310 moduleenables such DVB/ASI transport to reduce your payments to network carriers.

In addition to the TW-400’s configured for video service and transport applications, you can daisy-chainadditional TW-400s to provide voice and LAN services to orchestrate a comprehensive, highly economicalinfrastructure integrating all your bandwidth management needs. Terawave will gladly provide consultationto help architect this comprehensive networking solution to significantly reduce your capital costs anddeliver centralized management over all your bandwidth applications.

Native Service PortsStandardized voice and data ports are plug-compatible to eliminate the added cost of auxiliary routers, IADsand channel banks. While minimizing CAPEX, it also enables unified, web-based management of QOSservice level agreements, rate-explicit bandwidth allocation, and remote activation of service ports.

FXS VOICEPlain Old Telephone Service (POTS) is provided using this plug-in module. Eight voice lines per card let youprovision either in-house intercomms - just plug a phone jack into the FXS module - or public phone servicevia a carrier’s Central Office.

10/100BT LAN A single Ethernet port is always provided via any of our transport modules. Additionally, four 10/100bT portscan be added using the ESIM module to extend your office’s local area network to the transmitter shack, theremote truck, any remote event venue, or post-production suite.

VLAN / TLS Carrier grade reliability with advanced DiffServ and MPLS support with Layer 2 filtering and VLAN Tag Stackingmeans you can implement a world-wide, highly secure private LAN service from any office or remote site.

TELEMETRY & SERIAL DATAWe offer three telemetry modules for both low and high bit-rates. Appropriate for broadcast control data, testrange monitoring / mission control, and remote facilities operation, these modules provide an importantoption for transmitter, studio, and scientific or military applications.
