Positioned on a hillside a quarter-mile away, a Canon
DIGISUPER100xs HD telephoto lens on an HD camera
captures a live panoramic beauty shot of a major
college stadium, complete with a cheering crowd
surrounding the location studio hosts. But how does
the broadcaster relay that dramatic HD video back to
their TV truck?

The Canobeam DT-150 HD
Using Free Space Optics, the Canobeam DT-150 HD
delivers live, uncompressed HD-SDI video from a
maximum recommended transmission distance of
approximately 1 kilometer (3,168 ft.). Canobeam
DT-150 HD advantages include:
Using media converters, the broadcaster converted the
HD-SDI signal from the HD camera to single-mode
fiber-optic cable, which interfaced directly to a Canobeam
DT-150 HD. The HD-SDI signal was received by a
second Canobeam DT-150 HD, relayed via single-mode
fiber and converted back to coaxial cable via a media
converter, and then received by the HD broadcast truck.
• Quick set-up/quick tear-down.
• No need to install quarter-mile HD fiber cable.
• No frequency interference, coordination, or licensing
necessary with Free Space Optics.
• Exclusive Canon Auto Tracking maintains beam
alignment despite vibrations from camera platforms,
street traffic, or wind conditions.
