VT/VR71600-R3 Series
Security
The IFS VT/VR71600-R3 video transmitter/multiplexer and
video receiver/demultiplexer series utilizes 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 sixteen
independent video channels over one multimode or single
mode optical fiber and are ideal for use in unconditioned
roadside or out-of-plant installations. These units are
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, and these units are provided in a rack-mount
configuration only.
IFS 16-Channel Digitally Encoded
Video Multiplexer
