Viper
Portable Fiber Optic Broadcast
Production Systems


The Viper is the world's most widely used fiber
optic system for television production and distribution.
It is modular and field reconfigurable for all your portable and fixed video,
audio, intercom and data connections.
The Viper is your solution to the size, weight and transmission problems of
copper cable. Your reach is extended, so
now you can cover those previously impossible shots. Fiber also minimizes your
need for microwave links, and problems of line of sight and frequency
allocation.
Family Members
The Viper evolved from the Sidewinder, and both share the same plug-in function
modules for video, audio and intercom, as well as the same durable "Mussel
Shell" enclosures. In portable applications use Reel-to-Shell,
Shell-to-Shell or Reel-to-Reel. Choose the Viper 442 chassis for rack mount
locations.
