VT/VR73230-2DRDT-R3
Security
The IFS VT/VR73230-2DRDT-R3 video transmitter/data
transceiver and video receiver/data transceiver 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 thirty-two independent video channels and two bi-directional data 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, all standard pan-tilt-zoom control signals including
RS-232, RS-422, or 2 or 4-wire RS-485 with Tri-state and
Sensornet supported. 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.
