PRODUCT SPECIFICATION

32-CHANNEL DIGITALLY ENCODED VIDEO MULTIPLEXER

VT/VR73230-R3

FEATURES

DESCRIPTION

The IFS VT/VR73230-R3 video transmitter and video receiver utilize
state-of-the-art 8-bit digital encoding and decoding for high-quality
video transmission that exceeds the requirements of EIA RS-250C for
Medium-Haul Video Transmission. These environmentally hardened
units provide transmission of thirty-two independent video channels
over one single-mode or multimode optical fiber and are ideal for use
in unconditioned roadside or out-of-plant installations. Completely
transparent to and universally compatible with any NTSC, PAL, or
SECAM CCTV camera system. 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, available in rack-mount configuration only.
