2. Wavelength-multiplexer card:ΙΝ (ΙΝput) interfaces are interconnected (by menas of jumpers) to the transponders’outputs. The abc digits indicate the wavelengths in the sense that abc λ=15ab,cnm (e.g. abc=350 λ=1535,0 nm). The (OUT) OUTput interface provides theaggregate (multiplexed) signal to be interconnected to the amplifier’s input.

1. Transponder card:The INput wavelength (IN interface) can be anything in the1260–1600 nm range, however the OUTput one (OUTinterface) is standarized (e.g. 1535,0 nm). The transponderoutput is interconnected (by means of a jumper) to themultiplex input. This specific subrack can house up to 4transponders.

5. Wavelength-demultiplexer card:The aggregate (multiplexed) optical signal is received at the IN (input) interface while the interfaceslabelled as OUT (OUTput) are the ones that provide the de-multiplexed optical signals. The abcdigits indicate the wavelengths in the sense that abc λ=15ab,c nm (e.g abc=350 λ=1535,0 nm).

3. Optical power amplifier at the transmitter’s side:The INput (ΙΝ) of the amplifier is interconnected to the outputof the wavelength mux and its OUTput (OUT) provides theamplified aggregate signal to be transmitted. An additionaloptical signal (λ~1300 nm) is multiplexed (IN1300 interface) tobe used for the monitoring of the WDM link.

4. Optical pre-amplifier at the receiver’s side:The IN (INput) interface receives the optical aggregate (multiplexed) signal from the opposite side. The signal is optically amplified and appears at the OUT (OUTput)interface and it is, subsequently, iterconnected to the demultiplexer input in order to be de-multiplexed. The additional 1300 nm optical signal (used for monitoring) is alsodemultiplexed at the OUT1300 interface.

TV Broadcasting: Preliminaries

PAL signal: black & white (Y) + red chrominance (CR=R-Y) + blue chrominance (CB=B-Y)

Bandwidth: Y (~5.5 MHz), CR (~2 MHz), CB (~2 MHz)

Digitized PAL signal SDI (Serial Digital Interface) signal

Sampling rate: Y (13.5 MHz) + CR (6.75 MHz) + CB (6.75 MHz)

Quantization: 1024 = 210 levels

Bit-rate (SDI): R = (13.5+6.75+6.75)10610 = 270 Mb/s

SDI signal can be transmitted

• either uncompressed (270 Mb/s)

• or compressed (MPEG-2/4 format, usually 2-10 Mb/s)

TV Broadcasting: PreliminariesSDI signal can be transmitted either uncompressed (270 Mb/s) or compressed (MPEG-2/4, usually 2-10 Mb/s)

Uncompressed transmission over fiber is preferred for distances <100 km(cheap codecs) Compression is preferable for larger distances and necessary for satellite transmission
