from the receivers on a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw
terminal and a 3.5 mm mini jack.
Links monitoring — The transmitters' and receivers' front
panels have indicators for monitoring image and audio
transmission and both fiber optic links.
Loss-of-light alarms — The transmitters' and receivers' rear
panels have discrete outputs that indicate if either of
the fiber optic links have suffered a loss of the light
signal.
