1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The 1500E Series is a high performance, yet affordable, Fiber Optic
250C Short Haul Analog Video Transport System with SDV/HDTV Digital
Video. The standard 1500E system is designed to transport one broadcast
quality 250C analog video channel, four professional grade analog audio
channels, as well as one SMPTE-259M (SDV) or SMPTE-292M (HDTV)
serial digital video signal with embedded digital AES/EBU option, over
long distance through either singlemode or multimode fiber. In addition,
the 1500E can support RS-232 (or RS-422) in bi-directional transceiver
models. Many versions of optical transmitter and receiver combinations
are available to address different distance requirements.
Due to the use of advanced digital fiber optic transmission technology,
the quality of analog video, audio and data transmission is superior to
the analog counterparts. No user adjustments are required in the 1500E
system, enabling quick setup and trouble-free operation.
The 1500E comes with a rugged, standalone, rackmountable unit. Panel
connectors are provided for analog baseband video (BNC connector),
analog stereo audio (terminal block), RS-232/RS-422 data (DB9
connector), SDV/HDTV digital video (BNC connector), and fiber connection
(FC-type for the singlemode version or ST-type for the multimode version).
The 1500E can be easily monitored by front panel LED indicators for
power, optical link, and channel activity. (See Figure 1-1).
