"One Way Video/Audio/Data"

Applications

Security Surveillance and CCTV Systems
Traffic Control and Management
Video/Audio/Data Communication
Features

Low Cost Optical Link for Video/Audio/Data
Accommodate up to 1 Video, 1 Audio and/or 1 Serial Data Channels
Standalone and Card-cage Packaging

The standard 290 system is designed for transmitting one (1) video (NTSC, PAL, or SECAM) channel over one multimode or singlemode fiber.

The 290 Series is a high-performance Low Cost Fiber Optic Video/Audio/Data Transmission System. The 290 can be used for either unidirectional or bi-directional transmission. An additional one (1) channel audio and/or one (1) channel serial data (RS-232/RS-422) can be added into the 290 for simultaneous video/audio/data transmission. The 290 series has two configuration choices: 291 model for unidirectional video only transmission and 292 model for video transmission with audio and data. The 290 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/data (terminal block), and fiber connection (ST-type for singlemode and multimode fiber). They are also easily monitored by separate LED indicators for power, optical link, and channel activity. The units are powered by +12VDC. The 290 design is capable of addressing a variety of non-standard configurations.
