MODEL LM160

1 Video with 1 Audio or Data Channel

DESCRIPTION

The LM160 is a Frequency Modulated (FM) state-of-the-art fiber optic video system that transmits and receives a real time video signal plus high fidelity audio or data signals over one mul-timode or singlemode fiber. PAL, SECAM or NTSC formats, in B&W or color, are seamlessly transmitted distances of up to 6Km (multimode) and 100 Km (singlemode). Available formats are Balanced/Unbalanced Audio, GenLock, Manchester, Biphase, RS-232D, RS-422A, 4-20mA Current Loop, TTL, and Contact Closure. The capabilities of the Model 160 are enhanced by it's compatibility with Lascomm's PC based SpectraSmart™ Network Management and Diagnostic software system.SpectraSmart™ supervises the operating parameters of the transmission system such as status on video levels, sync, FM carrier detect, voltage, temperature, optical levels, etc., and external equipment which are attached to the Lascomm equipment. See the SpectraSmart™ brochure for more details.

CONFIGURATIONS

The LM160 is available as rack mount cards that can be installed in all of Lascomm's card chassis and 19" racking frames. The LM160 can be converted to module by installing it in the SR-500 card chassis. This system can be configured in either star (module to rack) ortrunking (rack to rack) configurations. This product requires no user adjustments and features superior quality and performance.

APPLICATIONS

  • Security and Surveillance
  • Distance Learning
  • Video Teleconferencing
