VT/VR7200 Series
IFS 2-Channel Digital
Video Multiplexer
Overview
The IFS VT/VR7200 series multiplexers simultaneously 
transmit two channels of video over one optical fiber 
utilizing 8-bit digital encoding for high-quality video 
transmission. These products exceed EIA RS-250C 
for Medium-Haul Video Transmission performance 
requirement. The modules are universally compatible 
with major CCTV camera manufacturers. Plug-and-play 
design ensures ease of installation requiring no electrical 
or optical adjustments. The modules incorporate Power, 
Receiver Locked and Video Presence Status indicating 
LED’s to monitor proper system operation. The modules are 
available in either stand-alone or rack mount versions.
