Bozeman Montana: City Hall to Courthouse on a single strand




Folks,




Just got a call form Westlake saying that a new system in Montana was up and running and the customer is happy. It is a cross-town link on a single strand between the Bozeman City Hall and the County Courthouse. Paths were:


<- 5 NTSC Videos, 20 Audios, 5 GPIs

-> 2 NTSC Videos, 8 Audios, 2 GPIs
<-> 4 RS422, 2 RS232




I did it all with two 5242 and three 5142 pairs on CWDM in Viper2 frame. Drawing attached.

WHYY builds two new HD studios using CopperHead G2

Blogheads,

WHYY in Philly is currently installing six new CopperHead G2 2400 systems for two three-camera studios; one in Philly, and one in Wilmington DE.

They are implementing them on Sony's new PDW700 XDCamHD camcorder. They were spec'ed in and purchased thru Sony in Park Ridge New Jersey.

The folks at WHYY say they are willing to participate in a press release once they get the systems up and running. Right now, there are some bugs in their design and a learning curve that they are experiencing. It'll be a coupla weeks till it shakes out.

Sony will be interested to be included in any PR that is generated.

Jim
