VT/VR73230-R3
Security
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 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-andplay 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.
