The NHL’s vision was to provide an in-goal camera system which captured and recorded live video of the goal line for officiating and instant replay verification. The challenge: there was no ability to run wires through the ice to the goal; the goal is movable so the lens must be able to be adjusted remotely, and the system must be ruggedized water resistant, and durable enough to withstand some of the hardest hitting shots from the NHL players. VidOvation designed an all-inclusive system integrating a ruggedized RF receiver and camera head unit that could be easily mounted directly above the goal within each arena while outputting uncompressed 1.5G HD-SDI video. The project was complemented with a support and maintenance program to ensure the highest quality image is always on to help the officiating across North America. Read the case study.

The Las Vegas City Center is a 16,797,000-square-foot mixed-use, urban complex on 76 acres located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The vision for the City Center was to provide the world’s largest hospitality implementation of broadcast quality video with up to 1080p resolution through a fiber optic infrastructure. Jim and his staff at VidOvation worked closely with the design consulting team to create a solution that enabled the conversion of 3G HD-SDI and DVI video signals to an optical signal for transport over single mode fiber throughout the massive City Center campus and Convention Center. The design and implementation of the system future proofs the video delivery as technology changes over time.

The Pentagon was seeking a secure means of routing and distributing high-resolution computer graphics in a Pentagon Briefing Annex. Jim and his team created a design and implementation for a secure, high-resolution fiber optic transport project at the Pentagon in Washington, DC. Fiber optics gave the network administrators the ability to detect security breaches and furthermore provided a more secure and harder to wire-tap fiber optic solution over a traditional UTP/CAT5 system.

KTNV, the local ABC affiliate owned by Journal Broadcast Group of Milwaukee, had an analog camera and microwave receiver on top of  their building, with a single-mode fiber link to its studio’s several miles away. Jim and his team were able to provide a cost-efficient and reliable ways to transmit multiple signal types over a single fiber link, said Ron Adair, director of television engineering for the Journal Broadcast Group. “That enabled us to have Ethernet control of the system without the need of separate phone lines.

Jim Jachetta has also authored multiple articles and white papers including a chapter on Fiber Optic Transmission Systems in National Association of Broadcasters Engineering Handbook and has a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from NYU Polytechnic University. Jim rounds his expertise as a co-author on two patents: System for Communication of Video, Audio, Data, Control or Other Signals over Fiber in a Self-Healing Ring Topology United States 7822344 B1 and System for Communication of Video, Audio, Data, Control or Other Signals over Fiber United States 7920789.
