VR2100 Series
IFS Dual Independent AM Video
Receiver with AGC
Overview
The IFS VR2100 series dual video receiver detects two
independent AM video signals in one module on two
independent multimode fiber optic cables. The module is
ideal for smaller CCTV installations and the rack mount
version can be used to double the fixed video capacity of
the R3 rack for up to 28 independent video channels per
card cage. The receiver utilizes automatic gain control
(AGC). The receiver is compatible with the IFS VT1101M,
VT1101M-AC, and VT1001 series transmitters. Plug-andplay design ensures ease of installation requiring no
electrical or optical adjustments. The receiver incorporates
power and AGC status indicating LED’s for monitoring
proper system operation. The module is available in either
stand-alone or rack mount version.
