- NEP Supershooters Selects Stratos' Media Converters and Racks for
High Profile Pro Golfing Events - CHICAGO, June 26
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The sweat on their brows, the dimples on
the ball, the detail of the grass -- this summer's hot Pro Golf
Tour has never looked sharper in the homes, clubs and sports bars
of fans around the world. Behind these popular, high visibility
HDTV broadcasts is NEP Supershooters. As the creative possibilities
and consumer appetite for exciting, engaging, stunningly produced
sporting events like the PGA Tour and prime time football put the
press on broadcasters, NEP SuperShooters has gained a reputation as
the gold standard for state-of-the-art mobile broadcast of live
sports entertainment. And enabling the vital fiberoptic
connectivity needed for a flawless live production are miniature
video media converters (M-VMC's) and video media converter racks
(VMCR's) from Stratos Optical Technologies. Stratos Optical
Technologies is a leading innovator of fiber connectivity solutions
for broadcasters, offering a full line of products for fiber
transport of HDTV signals from the source, between production
trucks, and all point-to-point HD signal deployment. The VMC's
employed by NEP Supershooters for the Pro Golf Tour are recognized
as the best of breed among broadcasters. They provide the necessary
media conversion between legacy BNC-equipped 75-ohm coax equipment
to a fiber link that eliminates distance restrictions and re-
clocking issues encountered with HDTV signal deployment. Also
employed for the PGA Tour are Stratos VMCR kits. These provide
rugged 1-RU high housing, power and diagnostics for up to 16
channels of BNC-to-fiber conversion. Inside, transmit and receive
modules can be custom configured to accommodate various OB, ENG and
studio assignments. The PGA tour is not the first high profile
showing for the Stratos products -- they were performing behind the
scenes for Hollywood's red carpet awards night, Super Bowl XXXVIII,
and the Olympics to name a few. As fiber becomes the standard for
live productions and more fiber networks are installed in new and
existing stadiums, Stratos' expanding product line offers reliable
solutions for bringing crystal clear images home to the viewer. For
