| MODEL
LM500 |
1 Video with 2 Duplex Audio or Data Channels |
|
| DESCRIPTION
The LM500 and LM500i are Frequency Modulated
(FM), fiber optic video systems that transmit
one video signal and one duplex audio and
one duplex data or two duplex data signals
for distances of 6Km on multimode fiber
and 100Km over singlemode optical fiber.
The LM500 operates over two optical fibers
and the LM500i operates over one optical
fiber. PAL, SECAM or NTSC formats, in B&W
or color, are seamlessly transmitted. The
LM500's capabilities 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.
