German broadcasting services provider invests in video and data network

German media and broadcasting service provider Media Broadcast has deployed the ADVA FSP 3000 from ADVA Optical Networking to power its scalable fibre optic network throughout Germany. The technology is being used to transport data services, uncompressed high-quality video and audio services directly on the optical network. Native video transmission on the physical layer radically simplifies the process of transporting media data by eliminating costly conversion methods and removing signal degradation.

German media and broadcasting service provider Media Broadcast has deployed the ADVA FSP 3000 from ADVA Optical Networking to power its scalable fibre optic network throughout Germany.

The technology is being used to transport data services, uncompressed high-quality video and audio services directly on the optical network. Native video transmission on the physical layer radically simplifies the process of transporting media data by eliminating costly conversion methods and removing signal degradation. The ADVA FSP 3000 transport solution features multichannel audio digital interface (MADI) technology to route up to 64 discrete digital audio signals integrated in the optical transport layer.
 
Media Broadcast's network will support high-performance transmission of any traffic protocol, including HD-SDI and 3G-SDI video and multiple audio signals with MADI devices. The network utilises each optical wavelength to transmit a variety of video, audio and data channels simultaneously.

Traffic information can be collected from existing inexpensive roadside cameras but extracting it often entails manual work or costly commercial software. Against this background the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) was looking for an efficient and user-friendly solution to extract traffic information from videos captured from road intersections.

    The German AKTIV project is researching several cooperative driving applications for use in work zones. PTV's Michael Ortgiese details progress. The steep increases in traffic volumes predicted back in the early 1990s have unfortunately been proven to be more than accurate. In Germany, the AKTIV project continues to look into cooperative technologies' potential to reduce the impact of those increased traffic volumes and keep traffic moving despite limitations in infrastructure capacity.
