IFS Offers Highest Channel Count Multiplexer of any Fiber Optic Equipment Manufacturer
IFS Sets a New Standard - 32 Channel Multiplexer Designed as Cost-Saving Alternative to Other Mediums
NEWTOWN, CT., April 12, 2002- International Fiber Systems Incorporated (IFS), a leading manufacturer of fiber optic transmission equipment, has announced the introduction of its VT/VR73230 32-channel digitally encoded video multiplexing system. This new digital video multiplexer utilizes the newest in state-of-the-art Course Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) technology that enables a much higher number of channels on one optical fiber compared to the existing Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology commonly used in the market. The innovative design of the VT/VR78230 provides designers with the ultimate method in maximizing the bandwidth on optical fiber.
The IFS VT/VR73230 uses 8-bit digital encoding and provides performance that exceeds RS-250C Medium-haul specifications for video transmission. The IFS VT/VR73230 multiplexing series offers true digital performance that transmits up to 32 real-time video channels with a consistent signal-to-noise ratio up to the maximum optical path loss of the system. With the
introduction of our digitally-encoded 32-channel multiplexer, IFS now offers fiber optic system designers an ever increasing
means of maximizing the bandwidth of their optical fiber than any other fiber optic equipment manufacture." said Richard Malstrom, Vice President of Sales. "With this new multiplexer it is now possible to transmit and receive 32-channels of 8-bit
quality digitally-encoded video on one single-mode optical fiber."
In addition to video, the VT/VR73230 can be custom configured to transmit a combination of video, audio or data communication signals. For example, the unit can be configured to transmit and receive 16 video signals, 8 audio and 8 data signals if the application requires.
With the introduction of the 32-channel VT/VR73230, IFS is now able to offer the benefits of digitally encoded video in a
number of different models. The two channel multiplexer, the VT/VR7200 series; a four channel multiplexer, the VT/VR7400 series; an eight channel, the VTVR7800 series, a sixteen channel, the VT/VR71630 and now the 32-channel VT/VR73230 series round out the IFS digitally-encoded multiplexer line. According to Malstrom, "With two, four, eight, 16 and now 32 channel multiplexers, IFS has a digital multiplexer for almost any number of video channels are needed to be transmitted over fiber."
"With the introduction of our digitally-encoded 32-channel multiplexer, IFS now offers system design engineers what they
desire most in a transmission system: consistency, predictability and reliability of video performance." said Malstrom ". If the system's designer needs eight, four or two channels of video, on one fiber, IFS now has a digitally-encoded multiplexer to fit their need." Now, if you have a limited number of fibers and you need to expand your systems capability in the future, the 32 channel VT/VR73230 multiplexer can handle the additions."
The VT/VR73230 system offers a loss budget of 17 dB, RS-250C Medium-Haul performance with a 60 dB signal to noise ratio, over an operating temperature range of -40 degrees C to +74 degrees C and can be used to transmit 32 video signals up to 34 miles (54km). This product is designed for use in CCTV applications and surveillance applications. Added Malstrom, "The use of a digitally-encoded fiber optic transmission system provides for essentially no loss of signal quality by the transmission medium from the CCTV camera to the video matrix switcher or monitor unit." The result is a significant overall improvement of video quality as required by Departments of Transportation or end-users.
