| MODEL
LM180 |
1 FM Video with 3 Audio or Data Channels |
|
| DESCRIPTION
The LM180 is a Frequency Modulated (FM)
state-of-the-art fiber optic system that
transmits a real time video signal plus
three data signals or two data with one
audio signal or one data and two audio signals
(in same direction) over one multimode 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 (option for open collector). The
capabilities of the Model 180 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 LM180 is available as rack mount cards that
can be installed in all of Lascomm's card chassis
and 19" racking frames. The LM180 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.
