VAT/VAR7400 Series
Security
Overview
The IFS VAT/VRR7400 Video Transmitter/Multiplexer and
Video Receiver/Demultiplexer utilizes 8-bit encoding for
video transmission that exceeds the requirements of EIA
RS-250C Medium-Haul Video. Audio is 20-bit encoded,
providing Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)> 85 with less than
0.02% distortion. These environmentally-hardened units
provide transmission of four independent video and audio
channels over one multimode or single mode optical fiber
and are ideal for use in unconditioned roadside or out-ofplant installations. These units are 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, and these units are available in
either stand-alone or rack mount configurations.
