  Patent Pending Fiber Optic Transport Technology from Multidyne
In a traditional system, there are multiple fiber optic transmitters at each video source. The fiber optic signals are then typically routed to a central location or node. At the central location the fiber optic signals are converted back to analog video, audio and data. Then up to 8 channels of video, audio and data are combined once again using time-division multiplexing (TDM) into a fiber optic signals. Two time-division multiplexers are required to transport 16 channels of video over one or two fibers. (Please note Figure 1). The equipment at the central node typically occupies 8 to10 rack-units. The 16 channels of TDM video are then decoded at the receiving end using 3 or more rack-units of equipment.
The MULTIDYNE patent-pending fiber transport system reduces the equipment required at the central node from 8 to10 rack-units to 1 or 2. As in the transitional system, a Fiber Head is used at the source location to encode the video, audio and data onto ONE fiber. At the central location or node the 16 fiber optic receivers and 2 TDM’s are combined into one device call the Fiber Hub. The Fiber Hub supports up to 16 fiber optic inputs from up to 16 Video Fiber Head units. The Fiber Hub unit has ONE high speed fiber optic output for the main fiber trunk. (Please see figure 2).
The equipment complexity and size is also reduced at the destination point from 3 to 4 down to 1 to 2 rack-units. Signal quality is maintained by digitizing once as opposed to digitizing twice. The video audio and data signals are digitized once at the Fiber Head and then are decoded back to an analog signal at the Fiber Receiver Hub. (Please see figure 3).
