VT/VR4000 Series
Security
Overview
The IFS VT/VR4000 Video Transmitter and Receiver series
utilizes frequency modulation for transmission quality that
meets some of the requirements for EIA RS-250C MediumHaul Video Transmission. These environmentally hardened
units provide transmission of NTSC, PAL, or SECAM video
over one multimode or single mode fiber optic cable and
are ideal for use in unconditioned out-of-plant or roadside
installations. Plug-and-play design ensures ease of
installation and no electrical or optical adjustments are
ever required. LED indicators are provided for rapidly
ascertaining equipment operating status, and this
equipment is available in either stand-alone or rack
mount configurations.
