The 230E/240E system provides simultaneous transmission of digitized stereo audio,video and/or data over one or one pair of fibers. The 230E system transmits two (2)audios (or one (1) stereo audio pair) and one (1) baseband NTSC/PAL video channel in one direction. The 240E system transmits and receives two (2) audios (or one (1) stereo audio pair), one (1) baseband NTSC/PAL video channel, and one (1) serial data (RS-232/RS-422) channel in both directions. The video quality in the 230E/240E system meets 250C medium haul specifications and its audio specifications exceed professional standards. Many versions of optical transmitter and receiver combinations are available to address different distance requirements. |
The 230E/240E features a digital fiber optic transmission technology, capable of providing sharp video and crisp audio, with little or no maintenance, high functionality reliability, and low operating cost. The quality of video, audio and data transmission in BCI's digital designs is much superior to the analog transmission designs used by other manufacturers (based on amplitude or frequency modulation). No user adjustments are required in the 230E/240E system, enabling quick setup and trouble-free operation. |
The 230E/240E comes with two packaging options: a rugged, standalone, and compact unit, or a plug-in card for a card cage system. Panel connectors are provided for video(BNC), audio (terminal block), data (DB-9), and fiber connection (FC-type for singlemode fiber or ST-type for multimode fiber). They are also easily monitored by separate LED indicators for power, optical link, and channel activity. |
Due to its digital transmission design, the 230E/240E is capable of addressing a variety of non-standard configurations. Contact us to discuss your custom, OEM/private brand and high volume requirements. |
