Overview of 4K and 8K Video Data RatesHigher resolution and HDR driving bandwidth requirements
• Limited 4K data rates less than 10 Gbps
• 4K + HDR data rates up to 22 Gbps> HDR is the best feature of 4K video
• 8K will require HDR for everything> Bandwidth is 40+ Gbps!

The Video Interconnect ProblemHigher Bitrate and Distance Requirements Challenge Limits of Copper Cables
• Physics limits copper cable solution distances• Fiber has more than 10x bandwidth of copper!

Why Would Anyone Use Compression?
“Compression is image or video processing to reduce the file size, often resulting in a tradeoff between picture quality and data integrity.”
Original Compressed Decompressed
![Page 8: Video Over Fiber · Fiber Types of Fiber Cable: Riser Plenum Armored InvisiCable Distribution. Not ready to terminate fiber? •Plenum-rated black fiber cable > Bend radius of only](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042805/5f65020685e26951d7037d09/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Compression – in Technical Terms• Entropy coding
> Lossless compression using math to reduce data rate
• Temporal, or inter-frame, encoding> Lossy or lossless that analyzes changes between frames
> Causes blurring with high-motion content
• Spatial, or intra-frame, encoding > Lossy compression estimates changes within a frame image
> Creates visual artifacts in the high color contrast images (HDR)
• Quantization encoding> Lossy compression compares neighboring pixels within a frame
> Color space conversion is one example
• Techniques combined to minimize artifacts and latency

Why is Compression an Issue Now?New display technology makes color and contrast compromises visible
• HDR requires 10-bit color> 8-bit has 16.8 million colors> 10-bit has 1.1 billion colors
• New TV have much larger color space > BT.2020 color space covers
64% of visible spectrum (~2x BT.709)
• New TVs have enhanced contrast ratios> Over 1000x greater

Why is Compression an Issue Now?Video formats are increasingly using Dolby Vision and/or HDR10+
• Compression corrupts embedded metadata
Conventional HDR10+

Not ready to terminate fiber? •Plenum-rated black fiber cable > Bend radius of only](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042805/5f65020685e26951d7037d09/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Isn’t All Video Compressed Anyway?Does it matter since streaming content is already compressed anyway?
• Real-time compression > Lossy compression
> Spatial and quantization encoding
> System often limited computational resources and latency is a concern
• Delivery compression> Primarily lossless compression
> High efficiency codecs, such as HEVC/H.265 and VP9
> Uses vast computational resources with long latency

Why is a Single Fiber so Attractive?Uncompressed video with a better deployment model
Fixed length cable deployment model(HDMI cables, parallel fiber, AOCs)
Single fiber deployment model
Requires factory
Installers have to pre-measure for each run
Installers pull bulk cable and terminate it in the field.

Profit MarginsWhat drives profit?
• Commercial Integrator, Jan 2018
• Hardware margins are great, but only account for a portion of profit
• Labor costs can drastically affect the overall profit margin of a project> Reduce installation time
> Minimize call-backs
> Future-proof upgrade to 8K

Using Fiber Solutions to Increase Profit MarginsWhy bring fiber solutions into your projects?
• Fiber is a premium technology (higher prices)> Higher markups mean larger profits
> Position yourself as an emerging technology leader
• Fiber is faster to pull and terminate than copper> Kevlar strength member makes fiber it is very
durable with pull strengths greater than 400N
> NO issues with ground loops, cross-talk or EMI
> Reduces labor costs by up to 50%
• Upgrade to 8K by simply swapping endpoints> Limited labor required to upgrade in the future

Basics of FiberFiber construction
• General fiber construction> Core – Primary light-guiding medium
> Cladding – Creates the total internal reflection allowing the light to stay in the core
> Buffer – Protective material around the core/cladding

Basics of FiberSingle-mode or Multi-mode?
• Single-mode (SM) or Multi-mode (MM)?> Single-mode used for Long-haul networks > 1km
• Small core requires precision manufacturing
> MM used for links up to ~1000
• OM1 – 62.5μm core, 200/500 MHz-km at 850/1300nm
• OM2 – 50μm core, 500 MHz-km at 850/1300nm
• OM3 – 50μm core, 1500/2000 MHz-km at 850/1300nm
• OM4 – 50μm core, 3500/4700 MHz-km at 850/1300nm
Tip: Be sure to check the equipment… single mode and
multimode are NOT interchangeable!

Fiber OverviewFiber Cable Types
• Simplex – single run of jacketed optical fiber
> Very low cost, lightweight, rugged, flexible
> Easy to terminate in the field – only a single fiber on each end
• Duplex – run of two jacketed optical fibers side-by-side
> Cost about 2x simplex
> Sometimes run with one kept dark for future use
• Ribbon fiber has multiple fibers side-by-side-by-side
> Much higher cost
> Not suitable for easy field termination
• Distribution/Multi-fiber cables – multiple jacketed fibers in a single cable
> Single cable pull to support multiple fiber optic devices

Industry-Standard FiberSpec fiber cables for the future
• Standard multimode fiber supports long distances> OM4 or OM3 offer best future-proofing
