Atop a building in the heart of the city, HD cameras
outfitted with a Canon portable HD zoom lens and a
Canon DIGISUPER 100xs HD telephoto lens provide live
coverage of celebrities entering a major entertainment
venue. Meanwhile, 1,500 ft. away, a mobile HDTV control
room is set up to switch the event. HD-SDI video with
embedded audio, bidirectional camera control, return
video, tallys, and IFB are a must, but it's too far to run a
heavy SMPTE hybrid fiber cable or single-mode fiber
cable along city streets.

The Canobeam DT-150 HD
A Canobeam DT-150 HD positioned next to the rooftop HD
cameras used line-of-sight Free Space Optics to establish a
secure bidirectional HD-SDI connection with a second
Canobeam DT-150 HD mounted above the production truck
parked 1,500 ft. away. The two Canobeam DT-150 HD units
and additional hardware (see box at right) provided HD-SDI
video with embedded audio, bidirectional camera control,
return video, tallys, and IFB to and from the HDTV truck.

By using Telecast Fiber Systems' SHED (SMPTE Hybrid
Elimination Device) or similar technology on either end
of the connection, a pair of Canobeam DT-150 HD units
can provide not only bidirectional HD-SDI video with
embedded audio, but also bidirectional camera control
signals, return video, tallys, and IFB.
