The 230/240 features a digital, fiber optic transmission technology, capable of providing sharper video and crisp audio, little or no maintenance, high function reliability, and low operating cost.

The 230/240 system provides simultaneous transmission of digitized stereo audio, video and/or data over one or one pair of fiber. The 230 system transmits two (2) audios (or one (1) stereo audio pair) and one (1) baseband NTSC/PAL video channel in one direction. The 240 system transmits and receives two (2) audios (or one (1) stereo audio pair), one (1) baseband NTSC/PAL video channel, and one (1) serial data (RS-232/RS-422) channel in both directions. The video quality in the 230/240 system meets 250C medium haul specifications and its audio specifications exceed professional standards. No user adjustments are required in the 230/240 system, enabling quick setup and trouble-free operation. The 230/240 comes with two packaging options: a rugged, standalone, and compact unit, or a plug-in card for a card cage system. Panel connectors are provided for video (BNC), audio (terminal block), data (DB-9), and fiber connection (FC-type for singlemode fiber or ST-type for multimode fiber). They are also easily monitored by separate LED indicators for power, optical link, and channel activity. Due to its digital transmission design, the 230/240 is capable of addressing a variety of non-standard configurations.
