The fiber-optic system incorporates digital encoding technology. This fiber-optic module receives 1-channel of NTSC/PAL Video (10Bit, 10MHz), 2-bi-directional RS-232 data over one fiber.
The versatility of the fiber-optic system is improved by SpectraView, an On-Screen-Video-Diagnostic/Setup firmware system and SpectraSmart, an optional PC Based network-diagnostic-system. SpectraView monitors the integrity of the fiber link. A break in the fiber path will cause a loss of fiber alarm to be displayed on an associated monitor. SpectraView is easy to use, always active and eliminates the need for additional test equipment. SpectraView includes a selectable on-board audio and data test signal generator with built-in local and remote loop-back functions.
This product is fully compatible with Meridians PC based SpectraSmart Network Management & Diagnostic Software System. SpectraSmart supervises the operating parameters of the transmission system such as the status on video levels, sync, digital carrier detect, voltages, temperatures, optical levels etc.
The fiber-optic product is available as rack mount cards and modules that can be installed in Meridians card chassis, desk chassis and 19" racking frames. This system can be configured in either star (module to rack) or trunking (rack to rack) configurations. These systems can be made a standalone system by using the SR-500, 1 slot desk / wall mount chassis (12VAC-24VAC)
