3. Solving Contribution & Distribution Challenges
BROADCAST STATIONS
Using the TW-400 for STL (Studio to Transmitter Links) enables KBTX-TV
to consolidate equipment and upgrade to HDTV while continuing to
use their existing microwave transports.
POST PRODUCTION SUITES
Maintaining contribution-quality HDTV and SDTV between
editing suites and local affiliates while controlling network
costs is achieved by transcoding into SMPTE 310 or
Mezzanine-Level 270 and transporting in real-time, or by
transporting non-realtime using video-over-IP .
EVENT VENUES / REMOTE PRODUCTION VANS
MRN, “The Voice of NASCAR” configured their remote production
truck with TW-400’s to backhaul live race coverage, non-realtime
transfer of video over IP to post production suites, and integrated voice and LAN communication with their home office, broadcast centers, and editing suites.
NETWORK OPERATION CENTERS
By reducing footprint, power, and heat, a major video longhaul carrier expanded bandwidth in their
NOC without expanding facilities - and realized 60% savings in transport costs using our Dynamic
Bandwidth Concentration to consolidate multiple network transports.
INTERACTIVE DISTANCE LEARNING
Iowa Communications Network deployed over 400 nodes to
unify its voice, video, and data services across their 3000-mile
statewide network - carrying HDTV, interactive classroom video,
voice, & 10/100bT over a single SONET backhaul.
CATV
A national US space center deploys the TW-400 as a CATV
head-end device, multiplexing dozens of channels for video sur-
veillance and instructional television.
VIDEO TRANSPORT FOR CNN & NBC
A regional MSO chose the TW-400 for its reliability in transport-
ing national broadcast services. Additional value was supplied
from bandwidth consolidation that enables up to 400% more
useable bandwidth over existing network pipes.

UNIVERSAL VIDEO ADAPTATION, ENCODING & TRANSCODING
Our family of video modules can solve any encoding challenge. Each video module features automatic calibration/setup,
multiple video and audio ports, and a logical range of encoding and decoding options. For example, the VAU module pro-
NTSC / PAL vides real-time MPEG-2 encoding / decoding of NTSC, PAL, or SDI signals. Fully compatible with industry standards, it
S-VIDEO, MPEG-2 also encapsulates (or deconstructs) the signal into either DVB-ASI or IP streams for transport.
Choose the VSIM module to process dual streams of composite video, SDI, or Mezzanine HDTV at 270Mbps inbound/out-
bound without compression or data loss. Compliant with SDI, SDTI, and DVB-ASI, you can use this VSIM in conjunction
with our SMPTE 310 module to provide integrated DVB-ASI to DVB-SSI (SMPTE 310) conversion.
CENTRALIZED, POINT-&-CLICK MANAGEMENT
Using the TMS management system, you remotely provision video adaptation parameters such as compression rates and
encapsulation methods, control allocation of bandwidth and modify quality-of-service levels. All signals are observable in

Regardless of your current transport and network environment, we will gladly come to your studio and demo
the TW-400 using any video feed and network transport you’re using today - or want to use tomorrow!.
DS3 uWave/ IP
Standards-based network modules assure plug-&-play compatibility and feature automatic setup and synchro-
nization with any ATM, IP, or SONET network ADM In addition, our long-reach 1550nm optics lets you reach
network nodes up to 75km away. You can also choose to deploy either point-to-point topologies or point-to-mul-
tipoint to gain aggregation and concentration of service from several sites to maximize bandwidth utilization.
For example, using the DS-3 network module with the SMPTE 310 SIM coupled with the VSIM, you can simul-
taneously transport both HDTV compressed and SDTV streams, as well as Ethernet data and TDM traffic (T1)
OC3 / OC12 SONET over a single DS-3 circuit.
DS3 COAX
Since many local affiliates use uWave for their Studio-to-Transmitter (STL) link, we provide direct coax con-
nectivity to support your legacy transport investments.
ATM
Widely known as the transport-of-choice for multi-service traffic, ATM provides the Quality-of-Service guaran-
OC3c / OC12c ATM
tees and efficient bandwidth utilization that lowers operating costs while assuring mission-critical service levels
for all your demanding video applications.
SONET / SDH
As the dominant transport medium throughout the world, compatibility with SONET/SDH ADMs is mandatory.
Out standards-based compatibility lets you achieve plug-&-play access to any ADM tributary anywhere.
IP . . . TWO OPTIONS
DVB/ASI If you wish to access a pure IP network, the Ethernet port provided on every transport module will tie directly
to Ethernet edge routers. Optionally, Video-over-IP can be encoded over traditional SONET or ATM backhauls
and then groomed out to the IP switch at the Central Office.
DVB/ASI . . . AVOIDING THE TARIFF TAX
While network surcharges and tariffs apply to any traditional nationwide data transport, current FCC regula-
tions will enable tariff-free transport of data services using DVB/ASI channels. Our SMPTE-310 module
Video / IP enables such DVB/ASI transport to reduce your payments to network carriers.

width services and transports
Native Service Ports
Standardized voice and data ports are plug-compatible to eliminate the added cost of auxiliary routers, IADs
and channel banks. While minimizing CAPEX, it also enables unified, web-based management of QOS
service level agreements, rate-explicit bandwidth allocation, and remote activation of service ports.
FXS VOICE
FXS VOICE Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) is provided using this plug-in module. Eight voice lines per card let you
provision either in-house intercomms - just plug a phone jack into the FXS module - or public phone service
via a carrier’s Central Office.
10/100BT LAN
A single Ethernet port is always provided via any of our transport modules. Additionally, four 10/100bT ports
can be added using the ESIM module to extend your office’s local area network to the transmitter shack, the
remote truck, any remote event venue, or post-production suite.
10/100bT LAN
VLAN / TLS
Carrier grade reliability with advanced DiffServ and MPLS support with Layer 2 filtering and VLAN Tag Stacking
means you can implement a world-wide, highly secure private LAN service from any office or remote site.
TELEMETRY & SERIAL DATA
We offer three telemetry modules for both low and high bit-rates. Appropriate for broadcast control data, test
range monitoring / mission control, and remote facilities operation, these modules provide an important

Terawave Management System - TMS
TMS provides a GUI interface for real-time system monitoring
with fault and performance logs. By using this remote console,
you can configure QOS & bandwidth levels for all nodes in any
network configuration. This web-based platform is built for
scalability using a robust Java/CORBA architecture. Remote
provisioning means you can modify service parameters like
compression rates on-demand using the extensive software-
configurable paramaters on each video module.
REMOTE SUPERVISION / MANAGEMENT OF YOUR NETWORK FROM WEB-BASED TMS
Terawave’s application and customer service engineers can remotely monitor the health, modify bandwidth and
QOS parameters, and provision new services for you from our Customer Care Center. Using the password-pro-
tected security features in TMS, you can control when and how you want remote users to access your network.
