Fiber 101 - Everything you need to know about fiber for broadcasting

This presentation discusses the fundamentals of fiber as used in broadcasting. We'll discuss applications and why fiber is essential for both remote production and inside today's facilities. We'll look at fiber technology - types, cables, connectors, active and passive components and calculating optical budgets. Finally we'll look at how fiber fits into a facility from ENG cameras to routers and distribution, and effective strategies to maximize your fiber investment.

The Evolution of the SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable transceiver) in telecommunication and their migration into the broadcast market.

This presentation will cover the various types of modules, the pros and cons of these components, and the introduction of new pluggable technologies in the broadcast environment.

Sarkis Abrahamian is Vice President of Business Development for Embrionix Technologies. Sarkis has been in the broadcast industry for over 10 years, primarily focused on fiber optics, SFP development, and compression. Embrionix has introduced advancements in SFP functionality and design, while retaining the small pluggable form factor. Sarkis holds degrees in Electrical Engineering and Electrical Engineering Technology from the McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, and St. Clair College in Windsor Ontario, respectively.

Peter Wharton first joined Miranda Technologies in 2001 and in 2013 was appointed as Product Manager for Telecast Fiber Solutions. Prior roles have included Strategic Account Manager for File-Based Workflows and Systems and Solutions; Sales Director for Monitoring and Control Products, Broadcast and IPTV; Director of Master Control and Channel Branding for the Americas, and Director of Regional Sales.
