| MODEL
LM170 |
1 Video with 2 Audio or Data Channels |
|
| DESCRIPTION
The LM170 is a Frequency Modulated (FM)
state-of-the-art fiber optic system that
transmits a real time video signal plus
two high fidelity audio or data or one audio
and data signal over one multi-mode or singlemode
fiber. PAL, SECAM or NTSC formats, in B&W
or color, are seamlessly transmitted distances
of up to 6Km (multi-mode) 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 170
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 LM170 is available as rack mount cards that
can be installed in all of Lascomm's card chassis
and 19" racking frames. The LM170 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 (rackto
rack) configurations. This product requires no
user adjustments and features superior quality
and performance.
APPLICATIONS
- Security and Surveillance
- Video Teleconferencing
- Distance Learning
